Gary Beck

Techno mainstay Gary Beck drops hugely sought-after cut Hopper on SHDWs Mutual Rytm sub-label Spectra, with remixes from KiNK.

Glasgow-born Gary Beck is a primary figure in techno and has been for well over a decade. Dropping seminal
underground classics and cultured full-lengths on an array of leading labels, as well as his own BEK Audio imprint,
he has also led the way as a revered DJ as his legacy continues to build. Now, adding to his standout Upside
Criminal EP as well as his well-received track Fold on the Federation Of Rytm III VA, he returns with a record that
has often featured in both his and Mutual Rytm boss SHDWs sets, stepping out on the labels Spectra series with
a cut that has long been sought-after by those who know.

A spontaneous studio moment turned club weapon, the timeless Hopper merges a syncopated disco bassline with
subtle nods to funk and classic dancefloor energy. Its one of those tracks that lingers in your head long after the
night ends - a pure embodiment of Becks raw energy and production finesse built on an infectious groove full of
contrast and character.

Bulgarian synth wizard, hardware genius and tireless innovator KiNK delivered Spectras inaugural release, so he
lands as the perfect person to remix. His first interpretation stays close to his roots with a house-leaning, slowed
down take that channels warmth and groove in equal measure. On the B2, however, he flips the script with a high
octane fusion of techno and UKG. Its a peak-time anthem engineered to ignite dancefloors and closes out a
standout EP with the third release in the Spectra catalogue.
