Claudio PRC

German imprint Prologue continues their pursuit of mind melting techno with the debut of Claudio PRC's full-length release, Inner State. The album is a collection of previously unreleased tracks that exemplify the Italian native's deeply hypnotic, dance floor-oriented focus. Each of the seven compositions wields eerie drones and tense cinematic soundscapes to anaesthetize the mind, while pulsating kicks (at BPMs slower than your typical main room stomper) carry the unconscious body along. The music's linear arrangements and subtle dynamics might test the patience of conventional listeners, but the driving force behind tracks like "Commutate" and the record's compelling opener, "Echoes," are sure to appease eager spirits. Claudio has played a pivotal role in helping shape Prologue's reputation as a pioneering outlet for some of the most audacious minds in techno. Inner State doesn't attempt to break new ground, but rather celebrates a sound that continues to thrill audiences in the most coveted gatherings around the world.
