Davestorm presents Ifuna EP [GAIN Records]

With his Gain Records debut, Davestorm doesn’t just join the conversation—he commands attention. The EP is a lesson in minimal power, fusing tribal-infused drums with a razor-sharp sense of groove. “Ifuna” is mesmerizing in its design: stripped yet lush, its hypnotic rhythm and cinematic overtones invite the listener into a deep, textural labyrinth. There’s an almost ritualistic quality in how the elements cycle and evolve, reminiscent of early tribal techno but pushed through a modern, refined lens.

“Ifuna” builds atmosphere with intent, but it’s “How We Do It” that flips the switch. Brimming with attitude and precision, the track is a peak-time tool that balances restraint with propulsion. The groove is elastic and infectious, and those chopped vocals are used with just the right amount of aggression. This is techno that works both in your headphones and in the heart of a crowded warehouse. A stunning first chapter in what promises to be a gripping career.
