Dutch producer AREA ØNE is the latest addition to Sara Landry’s Hekate Records roster, set to release his two-track EP, F Up The Club, on the label this Friday, November 13.
The EP leans into the sounds that pulled AREA ØNE into dance music in the first place — hard techno, psytrance and acid, fused into a single, dancefloor-focused package. It’s a fitting entry point for Hekate, the imprint Sara Landry built around exactly that kind of heavier, hypnotic sound she’s become known for on the techno circuit.
AREA ØNE has built his name on a style that blends rolling acid lines with neo-rave influences, a combination that’s earned him co-signs from genre heavyweights including Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens and Landry herself. Tracks like ’90s Baby’, ‘Balance’ and ‘Power’ helped push him into wider view after they picked up traction on social media, and he’s since become one of the faster-rising names in the current acid techno wave.
Beyond the studio output, he’s already a fixture on European lineups, with sets at Verknipt, Rotterdam Rave and HIVE among his recent credits. Most weekends find him somewhere on the continent,
