Umek – Ritmolicious EP

This release has a strong old-school early 2000s tribal techno feel. It’s one of those tracks where it either clicks with you immediately or it doesn’t — but in this case, it definitely lands on the positive side.

It’s a solid production from our friend Umek, showing why he’s been a respected name in the scene for years. If you’re familiar with classics like “Gatex”, you already know the level we’re talking about. 'Gatex' was also remixed by Dj Tiesto.

For those who don’t know him yet: today you’ve learned something essential about a ICON in techno history.

Umek is a true pioneer of the 90s techno scene. Back in the day, he was already pushing boundaries, performing with three turntables like a real master of the craft — long before modern DJ setups made everything easier.

Active since the late 90s, Umek became known for his powerful, driving techno sound and precise mixing style that quickly earned him respect across Europe’s underground club circuit.
