What began as an ambient and trance-infused record at the start of 2024 has now evolved into Sense Code’s third offering. Though still young, the northern Italy-based label is quickly establishing itself as a reliable home for the introspective and refined side of electronic music. This growing reputation is not only fueled by the draw of both emerging and established artists but also by a keen curatorial approach that emphasises depth, texture, and storytelling in sound.

‍

Building on the momentum of last winter’s split EP, SENSE003 reaffirms the label’s affinity for multi-artist showcases while further cementing Italy’s presence on the global deep techno map. Each track strikes a balance between cohesion and individuality, forming a richly textured feel where every piece contributes to a greater whole. Among them, Formant Value takes the spotlight in Minimal Collective’s premiere. His roots in the post-industrial town of Terni shaped his early exploration of electronic music, leading him toward the hypnotic and ritualistic qualities of techno and ambient. 

‍

A slow-burning yet gripping track, Deep Core unfolds through resonant basslines, shadowy textures, and a steady build of tension. Crisp percussive details guide the listener deeper into its evolving piece, where cerebral atmospheres meet subtle rhythmic propulsion. The track doesn’t just evolve; it spirals, tightening its grip with every passing moment.
