about

Various Artists: Return To The Center (T2X16) / A Time To Express label compilation.

"Return to the Center is, like so many other notable compilations this year, not just another hodgepodge collection. Basically an album-length expansion of the 61 Center Returning series of various artists EPs released by Peter Van Hoesen's Time 2 Express label, it has a coherency and a narrative sorely lacked by other label profiles. (...) This is real warehouse stuff, and it sounds like a warehouse: mottled grey concrete fractured at the stress points, dirty and scuffed, and impossibly, overwhelmingly expansive. " (Resident Advisor, 4/5 review)

Deep Blue
by Luigi Tozzi

supported by 16 fans who also own “Return To The Center”

It is said that "Deep Blue" is Hypnus' most successful release, but why? Is it linked with each piece being a monument of the deep techno culture? Is it the game of tension, perfectly executed between the light and dark forces, and/or the so-trippy aquatic immersion, deep and beautiful? Is it because the hypnotic tracks have been designed by among the most talented artists of the genre? No, really, no idea, please help us out 🙂🙌👏❤️ Hypnotic Techno Circle

We have an urgent request for Luigi Tozzi, hoping he will notice it: would you please be kind enough to stop being so talented? "Wadjet" is too much that our hearts can handle. Thank you for your understanding. Hypnotic Techno Circle
