Dark Chanell – No. 1 EP
Making an exciting return to his roots, Laidback Luke unveils his brand-new techno moniker Dark Chanell with an empathic 4-track EP titled, “No. 1.”
Kicking off the EP with a fast-paced electro-infused techno release, “PURPUR,” is an energetic track with staccato synths, fragmented kicks, and charging melodies. The next offering, “OCTAGON” is a dancefloor-ready single fueled by bouncing basslines and steel-drum-sounding force. Continuing with the EP’s momentum is the release, “TROMMEL” which makes for a beat slapping, all entrancing techno track weaving hypnotic synths with driving percussive elements. Delving deeper is “TRAITOR,” to round out the EP with a darker side to Luke’s production ability making for a brooding techno heater.
