In a significant move for the techno scene, Arthur Robert has made history as the first non-member of The Third Room to release a full EP through the Essen-based label. The EP, titled 'Particle Accelerator,' features four dynamic tracks that exemplify contemporary techno. The announcement was made on September 7, 2024, coinciding with the return of The Third Room’s influence in the genre, especially following its successful involvement with the Stone Techno Festival.
The label, known for its dedication to pure techno, has indicated that more high-quality releases are on the horizon. Robert’s 'Particle Accelerator' embraces the interplay between cosmic themes and minimal techno, with a sound palette that intertwines deep rhythms, melodic compositions, and interspersed electronic beeps. Explaining the inspiration behind his work, Robert told Mixmag, "'Particle Accelerator' channels the energy of minimal techno with a nod to Detroit and a fascination for the cosmos."
This EP comes at a pivotal time, with techno witnessing a thriving resurgence. The production showcases crisp sound design, intriguing textures, and assertive, often distorted, drum arrangements. With a commitment to pushing boundaries within the genre, The Third Room aims to uplift the techno community and provide a platform for innovative artists.
