DAVID MOLEON — In To The Wild EP

David Moleon – In To The Wild EP arrives on Special Series as catalog SPSERIES031, a 12-inch vinyl that continues the label’s focus on forward-thinking techno. Issued on 15 January 2027, the EP offers four tracks that explore a spectrum from percussive intrigue to driving club momentum, positioning the record as a fresh statement within both the artist’s output and the label’s evolving roster. Within Special Series, In To The Wild EP follows a series of releases that have built a reputation for kinetic, underground techno. Earlier in the catalogue, SPSERIES029 “Primal Tribe EP” by the same artist set a precedent for dark, tribal-inflected rhythms, while SPSERIES023 “Wicked Mechanism EP” and SPSERIES024 “Interrupted Pattern EP” demonstrated the label’s penchant for intricate, hypnotic structures. The new EP therefore arrives as part of a coherent sequence that pushes the label’s aesthetic forward without breaking from its established sound. Side A opens with “Hello Bongo”, a track whose title hints at a rhythmic focus that immediately engages the listener. The piece establishes a tight groove that sits comfortably between the percussive emphasis of “Primal Tribe EP” and the more atmospheric moments found on the label’s earlier releases. It functions as a solid entry point for DJs, offering a steady pulse that can be layered into warm-up sets or used to build tension. The second cut on the side, “Da Costa”, shifts the mood toward a slightly more expansive feel, maintaining the techno backbone while introducing a subtle sense of movement that prepares the listener for the deeper terrain of the B-side. Flipping the record, “Into The Wild” occupies the B1 position and delivers the EP’s titular statement. The track expands the rhythmic language introduced on “Hello Bongo”, presenting a broader, more open groove that feels suited for peak-time moments. Its structure encourages seamless mixing, allowing the energy built on the A-side to flow naturally into a more driving, dancefloor-ready atmosphere. Closing the record, “Pirates” offers a darker, more stripped-back conclusion. The title evokes a sense of pursuit and mystery, and the track’s concise arrangement provides a perfect outro for a set, giving DJs a tool to either wind down a set or pivot into a new direction. David Moleon’s recent discography shows a clear evolution within the techno domain. After the “San Salvador EP” on Planet Rhythm in 2025 and the double-LP “Bones And Smoke” in 2026, the artist’s “Primal Tribe EP” on Special Series hinted at a tribal, rhythmic focus that resurfaces here. In To The Wild EP therefore acts as a continuation of that trajectory, refining the percussive motifs while expanding the tonal palette. From a collector’s perspective, the EP offers a concise yet varied snapshot of Moleon’s current production, making it a useful addition for those tracking the artist’s progression or seeking fresh material for techno-oriented sets. The record’s sequencing—two rhythm-centric cuts on side A followed by a more expansive B-side—provides DJs with flexible entry points, whether for early-night grooves or peak-time intensity. Its placement within Special Series’ catalogue also makes it an attractive piece for fans of the label’s consistent quality. The release is pressed on a standard 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent offerings and ensuring compatibility with typical turntable setups. Its straightforward presentation respects the underground aesthetic that both the artist and Special Series champion.
