Setaoc Mass – Where The Rainbow Begins EP

Manchester-born, Berlin-based producer Setaoc Mass delivers the thirteenth entry in his SK_eleven series with a characteristically focused four-tracker that balances steely club pressure with subtle emotional depth. Opener 'Where the Rainbow Begins' sets the tone-its looping synth motif and tight, rolling groove creating a sense of forward pull without overstatement. 'Sundogs' follows with brighter textures and flickering melodies, threading a more euphoric edge through the tension. On the flip, 'Eyes Wide Shut' goes darker and more urgent, with syncopated percussion patterns cutting through foggy atmospherics. Closer 'Wu Wei' drops the tempo slightly, leaning into a hypnotic swing that's meditative yet floor-ready. Setaoc Mass remains one of techno's more restrained yet effective voices, and this instalment continues to refine his vision with clarity and control.
