Davestorm presents Ifuna EP [GAIN Records]

Few debuts land with the sense of purpose and coherence displayed by Davestorm on this two-track outing for Gain Records. “Ifuna” is a slow-burning gem—a ritualistic journey through dense percussion, driving low-end, and smoky atmospheres. It’s less a track than a sonic incantation, crafted for the dark corners of peak-time sets where hypnotism takes over. Davestorm's understanding of dynamics and space is impressive, allowing each element to breathe and resonate.

“How We Do It,” in contrast, goes straight for the jugular. This is techno in its most tactile form—punchy, syncopated, and designed to rattle the ribcage. The vocal stabs add attitude without overstatement, channeling a raw groove that feels purpose-built for those heat-soaked 4 AM dancefloor moments. Together, these two cuts signal the arrival of an artist with an intuitive grasp of the genre’s physicality and potential for narrative. Gain Records once again proves its sharp ear for forward-thinking techno.
