LA TARTINE — Dark Violon Part 2

La Tartine – Dark Violon Part 2 – Mazykka Vinyles INSOMNIAKEHS02 arrives as a 12-inch vinyl that stakes a claim in the label’s current hardcore and tekno output. Issued on black vinyl and dated 30 October 2026, the EP gathers four tracks that channel an old-school mood while showcasing La Tartine’s reputation for making the dancefloor move. Within Mazykka Vinyles the record follows the earlier “Bulgarian Mystery” (MAZYKKARP08) by Msd and precedes the “33 Split” (MAZYKKARP4C) from Capsule Corporation, which is scheduled for a later release. It shares its release day with the “Anthologie LP 2x12″ (MAZYKKAREMIXLP03) featuring Revision, 4Aklisme, Get Han, Angel Flo and Kastet, placing it firmly in a busy period for the label’s techno-hardcore vein. Side A opens with the title track “Dark Violon Part 2”. The piece builds a relentless groove that leans into the darker edge of tekno, offering a steady pulse that can underpin a peak-time set. Its follow-up “Van Der Dog” continues the momentum, adding a slightly tighter rhythm that feels like a natural extension of the opener, keeping the energy high without breaking the flow. Flipping to side B, “Sysmo-Goules” shifts the atmosphere toward a more hypnotic terrain, its repetitive structure providing a space for DJs to layer effects or transition into deeper moments. The final cut “Asymetrik Link” brings the EP to a close with a slightly more fragmented arrangement, its off-kilter timing offering a useful tool for ending a set or creating a contrast before the next record drops. For La Tartine, “Dark Violon Part 2” follows the 2025 “Opus Incertum” (HT09) on Haute Tension, extending the producer’s exploration of hard-driving techno. While “Opus Incertum” leaned into a more experimental texture, the new EP leans into a straightforward, dancefloor-focused approach, reinforcing La Tartine’s skill at translating old-school sensibilities into contemporary club contexts. In the broader scope of Mazykka Vinyles, the EP contributes to a series of releases that balance raw energy with precise sequencing. The label’s recent output, from the “Bulgarian Mystery” EP to the collaborative “Anthologie LP”, demonstrates a commitment to pushing the harder edges of techno while preserving a sense of continuity across its catalogue. From a DJ’s perspective, the record offers four distinct tools. “Dark Violon Part 2” and “Van Der Dog” are ready-made peak-time weapons, their driving rhythms suited to the main room. “Sysmo-Goules” works well in the latter part of a set, allowing for a gradual wind-down or a bridge into more atmospheric material. “Asymetrik Link” provides a quirky, off-beat finish that can be employed to punctuate a set or to cue a transition into a contrasting style. The release is pressed on standard 12-inch black vinyl, matching the straightforward aesthetic of the music. Its format supports the full dynamic range needed for the hard-hitting low end and crisp percussive elements that define the record’s character.
