Step into the shadows of the underground withSplatter’s enigmatic debut compilation.Exceed Limits is split into 5 tracks on vinyl and all 10 on digital, offering a journey into the hidden recesses of techno, curated by Austrian visionariesLuca Tresque, Joe Haensn, and Rotary Motion. This compilation sets a hauntingly beautiful tone for their new label that is off and running following a superb prequel release earlier this year.

Opening with Florian Meindl’s "Gridlock," the album immediately immerses you in a labyrinth of pulsing rhythms and dark, atmospheric textures. Meindl, known for running the excellent FLASH label, creates a sense of tension and anticipation that lingers long after the track ends. Linear System’s "Taurinom" follows, a hypnotic track that mesmerizes with its modular accents and relentless groove.

JANEIN’s "Neowise" shifts the mood, guiding listeners through a celestial soundscape filled with ethereal melodies and deep, resonant basslines. Daniel Heinrich’s "Close Your Eyes" then takes you deeper into the abyss, blending intricate percussions with a haunting ambience that feels both introspective and expansive. The vinyl selection is finished with the enigmatic "Name It As You Want" by Egotot, whose erratic intensity leaves you wanting more.

The digital exclusives push further into the unknown. VIVEZ’s "Tristesque" drifts through melancholic realms, while Luca Tresque’s "Timeless" plays with the concept of infinity, its classic techno beats feeling both nostalgic and fresh. EÒNAN’s "Space Traffic Management" takes you on an interstellar journey, weaving complex rhythms with cosmic effects. The collaboration between Donkker and Paul&Deep, "The Man Who Stolen The Lighter," intrigues with its narrative depth, and Anml Mthr’s "Nosedive" plunges into raw, unfiltered techno territories.

This mysterious collection called Exceed Limits highlights the eerie, seductive, and avant-garde sides of techno. Splatter’s debut compilation is a great introduction to the secretive world of underground electronic music, featuring contributions from musicians associated with labels such as Soma, Suara, MATERIA and Blank Code, while also picking up DJ support from Alexander Kowalski, The Advent, Marcel Fengler, Amelie Lens, Norman Nodge, Vince Watson and many more.
