Fresh off his most recent release of his massive remix of the classic track “Dominator” by Human Resource, Rebūke is back at it again. This time the Irish DJ and producer presents a massive peak-time techno EP that has found a fitting home on Adam Beyer’s iconic imprint Drumcode. Obscurity marks his second release on the label following the prior chart-topping hit Rattle.
“Instatik” kicks off the EP with a bang. The lead track features a rugged, reverb-heavy cut with industrial drums that pump like pistons and an undulating synth effect. This driving techno record takes on an industrial approach that has been utilized in the producer’s recent releases and he definitely pulled out all the stop on this techno masterpiece.

Second up on the EP is “Livewire”, this 128 bpm banger has his signature Rebūke brain-scrambling stamp on it. The high-energy track feature a array of industrial percussion with an addictive low-end melody that give the record a darker feel intertwined with driving drumlines that tastefully bring the production elements together.
Wrapping up the release is “Obscurity”. The final track on the EP again taps into the dark side of techno. The EP closer features a rolling groove, eerie synths, thumping baseline and rolling drums that wrap up this EP in spectacular fashion.
