Having released on the likes of Suara, Phobiq and Respekt to name a few, they bring freshness to the techno circuit with the hard-hitting “Optical Converter” EP. Following their collaboration “Black Rune” on Suara, The Reactivtiz comments on “Optical Converter”:
“This is the biggest release so far we produced together. We put a lot of energy into this EP and we wanted to stay true to our style.”
