Enrico Sangiuliano talks about his “Transcendence” EP

With his stunning new Transcendence EP including two very distinct but equally strong sounds—one track is to dance to, the other one to listen to— techno tastemaker Enrico Sangiuliano returns to his prominent NINETOZERO label. Tickets for a unique SOLO event in Milan on Saturday 21st December will help to promote the release.

For the Italian underground hero, this new book ends an amazing year. Just a few months following his Interconnection EP and a packed run of headline events, it signals yet another subtle change in his always difficult-to-categorize sound. The EP is a joint effort with psychedelic trance master GMS, which has been making waves since the 1990s. The pair that won awards has dropped several essential albums and EPs and had their music featured in a trilogy of Tony Scott films.

GMS and I met many years ago in their studio in Ibiza and spontaneously cemented our relationship through our passion for sound. They are a pillar of psytrance, and collaborating with them to interpret the concept of Transcendence was the perfect way for us to finally merge our creative visions. With this release, we transcend our individual musical paths to create something entirely new. We explore the theme of elevation, challenging ourselves to move beyond the tangible. Here, music becomes a portal, expanding consciousness and providing an escape from material reality. Together, we shaped our sounds to build an immersive experience, with a guiding voice to lead you through it. Transcendence is an invitation to let go, release mental constructs, and flow with the sound. It’s a journey into a timeless realm where what you feel and who you are become one. To transcend is to connect with your deepest self—and beyond. – Enrico Sangiuliano

A sleek and futuristic soundscape with strong drumming that transports you up among the stars, superb opener “Transcendence” is Smart spoken lines give this most escapist music a theatrical feel; the smeared pads create a cosmic atmosphere; the luscious arps layer in lots of trance-tinged emotional impact. “The Inner World” then is a tense two-minute synthscape with sensible spoken phrases inspired on inner power. This is a stirring work of emotive electronic majesty.

Another powerful declaration from Enrico Sangiuliano’s forward-looking creative imagination is the Transcendence EP.
