Reckoning Records is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of “Dystopian Reality,” the debut EP from rising electronic music producer Teknopolis. Set to launch on November 29, 2024, this Melodic Techno EP showcases Teknopolis’s unique sound and artistic vision, featuring two captivating tracks: the Original Mix and a dynamic remix by label boss Hasan Ghazi.

“Dystopian Reality” plunges listeners into a dark and mysterious atmosphere from the very first beat. The Original Mix sets the tone immediately with intriguing effects and layered textures that keep the track engaging and energetic. A groovy bassline drives the rhythm forward, while a compelling melody and arpeggiated synths add depth and complexity, creating an immersive sonic journey that resonates long after the track ends.

Complementing the Original Mix, Hasan Ghazi’s remix is perfect for after-hours sessions. It kicks off with a thumping bassline and kick drum combo that establishes an infectious groove right away. Big effects and bass stabs propel the remix, while the arp and melody take center stage to contrast the heavy low-end foundation. Hasan infuses his signature flair and showmanship, stripping the track down to its core elements at pivotal moments to showcase the raw power of rhythm and bass. The remix builds to a pad-filled, emotive breakdown before climaxing with a euphoric drop that unleashes all the built-up energy and tension.

Teknopolis, hailing from Islamabad, Pakistan, is making significant strides in the electronic music scene with his distinctive style. “Dystopian Reality” marks a significant milestone in his career, highlighting his talent for crafting immersive and rhythmic tracks that connect with audiences worldwide.
