Maike Depas makes a triumphant return with his latest project, ‘Sexy Devil Horse EP’, out now on his visionary label, Innovation Studio Records. Following the success of his ‘Circle of Life’ EP on Pushmaster Discs, this ambitious 10-track release not only underscores Depas‘ meteoric rise in the Hard Techno scene but also signals an exciting new era for his label and artistic journey.
Sexy Devil Horse EP is a powerful celebration of collaboration and innovation. Featuring an impressive lineup of international heavyweight remixers, including Luca Agnelli (Etruria Beat), Dutch phenomenon OGUZ, and the notorious “Demon of Hard Techno,” Michael Katana, alongside Southern Italian talents CHRS and Gianni Di Bernardo, the EP encapsulates the global and inclusive spirit driving Depas’ vision.
The title Sexy Devil Horse is as daring and captivating as the music it represents. With the relentless, galloping drive of its title track and “Hear The Sound,” contrasted by the sultry, groove-infused charm of “Ce Soir,” Maike Depas showcases his unparalleled ability to blend raw energy with refined artistry. The EP masterfully balances opposing forces, from the stripped-down precision of “StarKiller” to the grand, immersive intensity of “Dark Serenade,” crafting a profound sonic and emotional odyssey for listeners.
In this release, Hard Techno meets Psy Trance, with echoes of ’90s Rave and Trance. This fusion of recognisable influences and forward-thinking soundscapes reflects Maike’s mission to create music that resonates with a diverse global audience. Pulling from his vast experience and musical knowledge he has crafted one of the most diverse records in the harder electronic music genre of the year.
With the momentum of 2024 under his wings, ‘Sexy Devil Horse’ marks a defining moment in Depas’ career and solidifies his place among the new generation of techno visionaries. The release will include both a digital and physical release.
