Swen Baez steps onto HAUTBOXx Records with a three-track release that cuts straight to the heart of modern peak-time techno. Lifting Rush EP is not about frills—it's about function, pressure, and precision. Each track is built for the floor, with smart arrangement, heavy groove, and just the right amount of tension.
Lifting Rush
Lifting Rush opens with a restrained but forceful energy. The groove unfolds patiently, with filtered synth textures and crisp percussion guiding the flow. It's not explosive—but it builds, and it holds, making it ideal for DJs who know how to set the tone.
Activation
The most direct cut on the EP, Activation goes straight for the jugular. It’s fast, dry, and efficient. Activation brings the heat with a focused groove and a commanding sense of drive. This track builds tension steadily, layering elements with care before releasing into a bold, energetic payoff. It’s built for moments when the room is alive and ready to surge—perfect for lifting the energy without losing control.
Shake That Body
Closing the EP with swagger, Shake That Body leans into a funkier, stripped-down feel. A grinding bassline and crisp percussion drive the track, while cheeky vocal fragments inject attitude and movement. It nods to old-school energy with a sharp, modern finish—raw, focused, and full of character.
With Lifting Rush EP, Swen Baez delivers a tight, floor-focused release that DJs will appreciate for its structure and effectiveness.
Out 23.05.2025 on HAUTBOXx Records, it’s a toolkit for serious selectors.
