RINSED eclectic techno & house set in The Lab NYC
RINSED’s 'eclectic techno & house set' for The Lab NYC is exactly the kind of expertly curated chaos we live for. It’s that 3am moment where the genre boundaries blur and the only rule is a good groove. The vibe is a dimly lit warehouse, all concrete and sweat, perfect for this sound. Technically, it’s a masterful navigation of the 120-125 BPM zone, with a 122.1 average and a harmonic home base of 12A allowing for adventurous detours.
The energy is perfectly balanced between deep, percussive lows and melodic mids, creating a journey that’s engaging but never exhausting. The mixing is clever and textured, often letting contrasting elements play off each other. The opening, Fade’s 'All I Got (Chris Fortier 20yr Dub)', sets a deep, atmospheric tone. The crate digging is stellar: Craig Bratley’s 'Play the Game (Andrew Weatherall Remix)' is a timeless, psychedelic house gem, while Point Blank & Secret Cinema’s 'Meng’s Theme' remix is a monstrous, driving techno tool.
Solee’s 'Shanti' provides a beautiful, melodic house respite, and Naika’s '1+1 (BLK Remix)' injects a dose of soulful, filtered disco. The journey begins in deep, dubby territory, peaks with the relentless drive of 'Meng’s Theme', and closes on the quirky, off-kilter funk of Red Axes’ 'Subaru Pesha' remix. A full tracklist for the diggers who pride themselves on Shazam fails.
