German producer mexCalito, releases Director’s Cut EP for Shadow Wulf Records’ sixteenth release. Mex has been focused in the studio creating constantly and rapidly maturing his mixing and mastering skills under the mentorship of fellow collaborator Dubs. Mex’s tracks are being released by some of the world’s best underground techno labels. His sound is characterized by hypnotic rolling basses and experimental rhythms and effects, a cross between Techno, Zenon, Minimal and a kind of haunting psychedelic groove. With this latest release, Mex’s matured sound is on display, showing off the connection between the technoid and minimalistic styles, and mesmerizing with a bevy of psychotropic effects for that characteristic psytech sound.

Indigenous influences make their way into the tracks’ ambiance and lend an extra flair of mystique to the release, especially apparent on the second track, “Audiohuasca”.
The title track, “Directors Cut”, was started towards the beginning of the recent pandemic, and with the status of the world, Mex felt inspired to use vocals that fit thematically to the times. The vocals echo, “It was the time, where it wasn’t clear, if the world’s gonna turn to normal again…the main advice…is to tell citizens…to stay inside your homes behind locked doors.”
The EP features remixes from returning Shadow Wulf artist Anina Owly (Germany), and debuts two new artists to the label, Lost ON Earth (Portugal) and Chris Nord (Austria).
