After originally teaming up with Portuguese electronic music producer and DJ HOZHO on their collaborative album 'Beyond The Horizon' back in 2017, Black Hertz has reunited with his former partner once again on the blistering new EP 'PSYCHE'.
Bringing back more of that broad and immersive techno-inspired energy they are both known for, this new three-track collection makes for a brilliantly dark and vibrant listen. With its pulsing aesthetic, soaring atmosphere, and killer hooks layered throughout, 'PSYCHE' is a masterful return from two of the more exciting names on the rise right now.
