Antonio Muñoz, known as emesh, has released a new EP titled Purkana, through Axttral Records. The four-track collection, which launched on November 6, delves into deeper, hypnotic techno, appealing to enthusiasts of rhythm and atmosphere.
Exploring Electronic Music History
Muñoz’s extensive background in electronic music spans decades, starting with his DJing activities in Spain during the late 1980s. His career included performances at renowned venues like Mondo and Círculo de Bellas Artes, where he cultivated his distinct style. Over the years, he has built a diverse production catalog that incorporates ambient, dub techno, and experimental sounds.
The Concept Behind Purkana
The EP features four tracks: “Ligmol,” “Maaseh,” “Nisaion,” and “Yovel.” Each piece contributes to a cohesive exploration of repetition, gradual development, and the interplay of rhythm and atmosphere, which characterize Muñoz’s signature sound. Purkana emphasizes the deeper aspects of techno music, aligning with the producer’s interest in sustained rhythmic patterns.
Connection to Traditional Practices
Muñoz’s work as emesh reflects his long-standing fascination with meditation and traditional sound practices. His exploration of acoustic instruments, such as Tibetan singing bowls, has influenced his electronic compositions, merging contemporary production techniques with his rich musical heritage. This broader approach enables him to connect various genres and styles within his work.
Recent Works and Future Releases
The release of Purkana follows earlier projects, including “Dibur,” which was issued under NAIAD. Records. Muñoz maintains an active output, oscillating between club-focused tracks and those designed for attentive listening. This latest EP showcases the raw, deep, and hypnotic side of techno while offering a fresh addition to Axttral Records’ catalog.
Purkana is now available for streaming and purchase through Axttral Records on Bandcamp and on various digital music platforms.
