> Notes:

microcastle's second offering of 2021 welcomes Radeckt to the

label for his debut EP. Based in Copenhagen, the Danish DJ has

carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. His

colourfully catchy synth leads, exotic percussive arrangements and

tough, dancefloor minded grooves have made for a sound that is all

his own. Adopting the moniker just over a half decade ago, Radeckt

has enjoyed a five year creative swell, earning the praise of

electronic music tastemakers such as Ame, Adana Twins, Echonomist,

Innellea and more; while AEON, MoBlack and TAU have served as

landing spots for his transcendent sound. Having gotten the year

underway with his latest TAU vehicle 'Corroded Mind', Radeckt now

makes his microcastle debut with 'Illusions of a Romantic'. Spread

across four tracks it is the title selection which sets the tone

for the release. Radeckt expounds his lavish future vision here,

with obsessive rhythms and hyperspace melodies blanketing titanium

beats and monolithic grooves. A recent favourite of Echonomist,

it's raw dynamism and intergalactic design provide a much-needed

dance floor curveball for the more adventurous selectors out

there. Beneath the powerful tidal waves of 'Illusions of a

Romantic' lies the droney, dystopian realities of 'Shattered

Tension'. A dizzying dance floor slam powered by a ten-tonne kick

drum and exhilaratingly unpredictable synth leads. Packed to the

hilt with drama, its adventurous spirit is something Radeckt

relishes in, as he flexes a darker side of his studio repertoire,

and in turn nails that rare compositional balance of being

constructed with minimal parts but sounding absolutely gigantic.

Continuing on a shadowy monochrome are the wintry qualities of

'Unintended Reflection'. A brooding exchange of melody and texture

where themes of isolation, introspection and hope get translated

by arcane rhythms, percussive splashes, and machine gun style

grooves. Foreboding and vaguely industrial, it's a composition

that further cements Radeckt's elusive vision, as desolate

beginnings morph into a meditative, consciousness-expanding

conversion of musical ideas. It's thrilling pulse proves to be the

perfect prelude for the collection's closer, the whimsical sound

art that is 'Rebellious Konkubine'. A boundary-pushing jaunt that

breaks preconceptions and made-up minds, making Radeckt's music

such an addictive pill to swallow. Designed for the more astute

dance floors and headphone aficionados alike, its rebellious

nature concludes a characteristically expansive set of sound

stories from one of Denmark's rising musical mavericks. Radeckt

creates a fascinating sonic ecosystem over the course of

'Illusions of a Romantic', a striking four track odyssey that

never settles into any tangibly recognizable genre templates, and

looks into the mind of an artist who masterfully balances rich

production with fire-starting spontaneity.
