Malin Genie, Frits Wentink

That old raw underground house sound that was the SlapFunk trademark back then - Malin Genie and Frits Wentink nail it on Demiurge. Four tracks of stripped-down, no-frills techno that feel like they emerged straight from a basement studio in the mid-90s, all dusty breaks, minimal synths, and the kind of groove that doesn't need ornament.

SlapFunk Records has always been about authenticity over trend, and this EP is exactly that ethos made vinyl. Wentink and Genie work in lockstep here, building tension through constraint - sparse percussion, warm low-end, the occasional vocal snippet that lands like a question rather than an answer. Nothing wasted, everything earned.

If you're after contemporary techno trying to sound vintage, look elsewhere. If you want the real article - the sound itself, unironic and unselfconscious - this is it.
