“In search of an afterparty” the name of this split EP we are witnessing coming straight from a miraculous country called Uruguay.The story of a teacher and a student, the tale of different senses and perspectives, the dance of elusive, fictional Jair himself and the spies of the afterparty which can be on either way of self-data collection or when levels of paranoia have come to a boiling point and sense that the eyes are watching doesn’t go away that easily.The A side is taken by Muten, an artist who has already made a lot of noise not just in his native country but all over the world too whether it’s with an outstanding liveset, flawless dj set or a timeless record that he has crafted. The B side is a story of a rising and promising producer Flhez, and his quest of frequency manipulation + sound perfection. True honor to have these Uruguayan performers to join Exarde and deliver this outstanding body of work for it.

Next up, 'Set It Off' welcomes the introduction of expansive melodies to offer an entrancing late-night cut, before turning to the unhurried grooves, salient hats and sweeping atmospherics of 'Killing Me Softly'.Digital bonus 'Before Sunset' once again delves into lighter, breezy territories while keeping the classic rollingtechno touches throughout, shaping up the package with a powerful yet agile closing production.SHDW & Obscure Shape 'Poetic Justice' EP drops via Mutual Rytm on 17th June 2022.
