About Release
Rwn, Minube, Chris Llopis, Dikka – ZFV002 arrives on Evaporate 蒸發 as the label’s second exclusive vinyl offering, catalogued ZFV002. The 12-inch record continues Evaporate’s focus on minimal, groove-driven tech house, delivering four tracks that are built for direct dancefloor impact.
Within the Evaporate catalogue, ZFV002 follows the label’s first various-artists compilation (ZFV001) and reinforces the imprint’s reputation for crisp, minimal productions that push the genre’s boundaries. The release slots neatly between the earlier compilation and the label’s forthcoming projects, sustaining the momentum of its Taiwan-based minimal aesthetic.
Side A opens with “Visible Future” by Rwn, a track that twists through evolving patterns while keeping a tight, driving pulse. It sets a kinetic tone that segues into Minube’s “Automatic 380”, which deepens the mood with a more psychedelic edge, extending the groove into a darker, more immersive space. The contrast between the two A-side cuts creates a subtle narrative, moving from restless movement to a deeper, hypnotic flow.
Side B shifts toward a stronger house influence. Chris Llopis contributes “Slider”, a powerful cut that injects energetic momentum, ideal for peak-time moments where momentum is required. Closing the record, Dikka’s “Blacklist” delivers another high-energy statement, reinforcing the house-leaning direction and providing a decisive finish that can be used to cap a set or transition into a more driving section.
For Rwn, ZFV002 adds to a discography that already includes the “Dancing in Circles EP” (Purple Print, PRP006, 2023) and “A Night in Euphoria EP” (Why So Series, WSS012, 2023). Minube’s presence on this release follows “Flip EP” (Kooky Music, KKYV07, 2025) and the “SOS Rec 005 VA” compilation (SOSrec, 2026). Chris Llopis brings a substantial back-catalogue, with recent outings such as “Sumac EP” (Purple Print, PRP023, 2026), “Dungeon EP” (Skip Audio, SK011, 2025) and “Echo Ridge” (Satya, SATYA020, 2025), as well as the exclusive “Static Steps EP” (Fantastic Friends, FFRVO010). These entries illustrate each artist’s ongoing engagement with minimal and house-oriented sounds, making ZFV002 a natural extension of their current trajectories.
In the current underground scene, the record’s blend of minimal tech house and more direct house energy reflects a growing appetite for tracks that can both sustain a deep groove and deliver immediate impact. By pairing Rwn’s evolving textures with Minube’s deeper vibe on the A-side, and then turning to the more forceful house sensibility of Chris Llopis and Dikka on the B-side, the release offers DJs a versatile toolkit for shaping the flow of a set.
From a DJ’s perspective, the record supplies two distinct moods: the A-side works well for building tension in the early or mid-set, while the B-side provides the drive needed for peak moments. The sequencing encourages a natural progression, allowing a selector to move from subtle, evolving grooves to a more pronounced, dancefloor-ready energy without breaking momentum.
The record is pressed as an exclusive 12-inch vinyl, matching Evaporate’s commitment to analog fidelity and the tactile experience valued by collectors. Its format underscores the label’s dedication to delivering music that feels at home on both the turntable and the dancefloor.
