STUG Records proudly presents its latest release from label founder Bart van Rijn, an EP that once again showcases his ability to craft immersive, emotionally charged electronic music. Featuring two striking original tracks, ‘ALIVE’ and ‘CASTLES’, this release further cements his reputation for blending hypnotic rhythms with deep, atmospheric textures.
Following the success of STUG013, which demonstrated van Rijn’s versatility across tech-house, atmospheric techno, and deep house, this new offering continues his sonic evolution. ‘ALIVE’ serves up a hypnotic, pulsating journey, driven by groaning synths and a bold alarm motif that adds a sense of urgency and tension. It’s a track that fully embodies the producer’s ability to conjure up deep, sensory-driven experiences designed for both mind and movement.
In contrast, ‘CASTLES’ takes a brighter turn, offering a warm, uplifting energy. With deep, resonant tones and trance-like strings, it evokes the carefree essence of summertime, delivering a sense of euphoria and optimism. The track’s intricate layers and melodic flow highlight van Rijn’s skill as a producer, balancing emotional depth with dancefloor appeal.
With this EP, Bart van Rijn continues to push the boundaries of his sound, solidifying STUG Music as a platform for forward-thinking, genre-blurring electronic music. Whether exploring darker, hypnotic realms or soaring into uplifting soundscapes, his latest release is a testament to his evolving artistry and vision.
