Mordok
Janno Kekkonen, Jorma Ois — Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) · 1A · 102 BPM · 2016
I keep returning to the way Mordok drags its heels at 102 BPM through the sunken, metallic gloom of 1A, a slow-motion warehouse collapse that proves downtempo need not mean docile. Kekkonen and Ois weaponise the tempo, letting each kick and sub-bass rumble land with a bruising, physical weight that completely belies the measured pace. To me, this is peak-time material masquerading as a comedown; with an energy reading of 9, it is ideal for those 3 AM moments when the room still pulses but I dial back the BPM without sacrificing pressure. On CANO, it is the record I reach for when heads-down swaying needs to tip into full-body lock, the 1A key refusing to let the temperature drop.
