MOLEN — Obsolescencia Programada EP

Molen – Obsolescencia Programada EP arrives on Mutante Records as catalogue MUT003, a 12-inch vinyl that delves into the darker crossroads of electro, tech house and the lingering spirit of New Beat. The release is built on machine-driven rhythms and shadowy textures, offering a raw, uncompromising vision that fuses the physical intensity of body music with techno’s hypnotic pulse. Within Mutante Records’ growing roster, this EP sits alongside earlier outings such as Wldv’s “The Fifth Element” (MUT001, 2024) and Unsighted’s “Foreboding EPy” (MUT002, 2025), reinforcing the label’s focus on forward-looking, darker dancefloor fare. Molen’s contribution extends the label’s aesthetic while carving its own niche in the catalogue. Side A opens with “No Has Visto Nada”, a track that immediately establishes the EP’s shadowed atmosphere, setting a tone that the following cut, “Boicot”, deepens with a relentless drive. The third A-side entry, “Sofoque”, continues the momentum, linking the two preceding pieces through a shared intensity that sustains the record’s kinetic flow. Turning the disc, B-side track “Obsolescencia Programada” serves as the centerpiece, its title suggesting a programmed decay that is reflected in a hypnotic, machine-like groove that anchors the set. The final cut, “Prototipo”, offers a closing statement that echoes the EP’s dark edge while providing a subtle release, rounding out the narrative arc. Molen’s recent output includes a series of 12-inch releases on various imprints—“Sexquencer EP” on Terminal Recordings, “Teknovela” on Eviterno, “Sheffield, London, Montevideo” on Seven Hills Records, and “Aurora EP” on Lunfardo—all issued in 2025-2026. This prolific period demonstrates a consistent exploration of electro-techno hybrids, and “Obsolescencia Programada EP” continues that trajectory, reinforcing the artist’s reputation for crafting tracks that balance body-centric energy with cerebral, hypnotic structures. In the current underground landscape, the EP’s blend of gritty electro, driving tech house and New Beat nostalgia positions it as a compelling addition for DJs seeking a darker palette. Its machine-driven rhythms and shadowy textures make it suitable for late-night sets, where the music’s physical intensity can be harnessed to build tension before releasing it on the dancefloor. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive aesthetic and the way the record reflects Mutante Records’ commitment to forward-thinking, edge-cutting releases. The record is presented as an exclusive 12-inch vinyl, aligning with the label’s preference for high-quality analog formats that preserve the depth of its dark, rhythmic explorations.
