After three decades in the underground, UK producer Mindwax (Marcus Voss) has nothing left to prove, only something to distill. โCRYOโ is his latest statement. Itโs a hard-edged, hypnotic techno cut that swaps fireworks and festival drops for discipline, tension, and pure pulse. Built in his home studio and sharpened with feedback from his BLACK WAXX collective, the track feels like a love letter to warehouse floors and forest raves, carved down to their cold, essential core.
From the first bar, โCRYOโ is all about motion. Pulsating, high-energy synths lock into a relentless rhythm, the kick heavy and saturated but never bloated, punching a tunnel straight through the mix. Over that, a grave, almost disembodied voice murmurs in the background, with more texture than lyric.
Instead of big breakdowns and obvious payoffs, the track builds pressure through tiny shifts. A deep, buzzing tone slowly swells into the foreground, wrapping itself around the beat until it feels like the whole room is vibrating from the inside out. Micro-FX flicker at the edges, filters open and close by degrees, and the groove evolves just enough to keep your brain hooked while your body locks into autopilot.
Toward the end, a subtle synthwave-style wash begins to ebb through the top end, hinting at melody without ever breaking the trackโs icy focus. The tempo never lets up, same pace, same drive, unrestrained and undeterred, like a freight train in perfect, merciless time.
โCRYOโ isnโt trying to be bigger than everything else; itโs trying to be sharper. In a landscape obsessed with loudness and maximalism, Mindwax leans into space, patience, and weight. The result is a track that just burrows under your skin and stays there.
