The Italian duo dive deeper into their Epic-Techno sound with the new single on Intercord Records’ Zeitgeist sublabel out now!
Marnik light the torch for their next musical chapter with ‘The Ritual’, a wrecking ball of energy that brings their epic techno sound even further to the forefront. Set for release on Zeitgeist, – sublabel of Intercord Records, the newly revitalized Virgin Records Germany and home of harder dance genres –, the single sees Marnik continue to stake their claim as one of the most fearless and in-demand acts on the current techno circuit. Out now, ‘The Ritual’ has officially begun, all that’s left is to answer the call.
From its opening bars, ‘The Ritual’ locks into a ceremonial chant and entrancing beat, highlighting the larger than life nature of Marnik’s epic techno sound. The speedometer clocks in at a scolding 150BPM, with the track pushed to even bolder heights with ripping synths and a kinetic low-end that insists on walking the edge of insanity. In all, it makes for a perfect debut with Zeitgeist as part of Intercord Records (the newly renamed Virgin Records Germany), as both the duo and the label set their creative sights on the harder side of the electronic spectrum.
The release arrives as Marnik extend a decade-long run that’s surpassed one billion streams and taken them to some of the world’s biggest stages, from Tomorrowland in Belgium to Ushuaïa in Ibiza. Their upward trajectory shows no signs of slowing, with ‘The Ritual’ acting as a guiding light as they continue to climb the stairs of success. This month, they take that momentum eastward, bringing their explosive sound to Sri Lanka and Indonesia for a duo of shows that promise to turn ‘The Ritual’ into reality.
