Enrico Sangiuliano Returns with Absence EP on NINETOZERO
Italian producer Enrico Sangiuliano, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary techno and hypnotic trance, delivers Absence EP, a four-track release on his own imprint NINETOZERO that reaffirms his ability to build immersive sonic worlds beyond conventional club formats.
The EP opens with The Aftermath, a 41-second fragment at 124 BPM in D Major functioning as an atmospheric prologue — almost a DJ tool — that sets the emotional stage for what follows. Next comes the title track, Absence, an ambient/experimental piece running just over three minutes at 92 BPM in A Minor. Moving through contemplative, texture-rich territory with restrained ornamentation, it is a study in sonic subtraction that alone justifies the EP's conceptual premise.
The release's true weight falls on Step Into The End, presented in both an Edit (6:04) and a full-length Original Mix (10:03), both at 137 BPM in A Major and filed under Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic). The extended version is the definitive statement: Sangiuliano layers analogue synthesis, long-form melodic progressions and a rhythmic architecture that channels the finest post-Drumcode hypnotic trance while remaining unmistakably his own.
- Highlights: conceptual depth, narrative arc coherence, immaculate production
- Standout track: Step Into The End (Original Mix)
- For fans of: Charlotte de Witte, Alignment, Rebuke, Wehbba
A release that does not chase the immediate dancefloor, but instead constructs a mental state. Sangiuliano remains one of the most rigorous producers on the European scene.
