Techno Review: Mike EFEX - Malfunction out on Coldharbour Black

10.0
Overall Score

 

One of the most anticipated releases across the Coldharbour platform has arrived, courtesy of a beloved member in MIke EFEX, with his latest single Malfunction.

A staple of the label for well over a decade, the Los Angeles resident has made significant contributions to both the main and Black outlets, demonstrating his versatility of sound, while maintaining his high level throughout.

Malfunction has been an essential exclusive throughout Markus Schulz's summer festival and club sets. A hauntingly powerful and uptempo techno piece tried and tested throughout dance music's most cherished grounds. Malfunction is now available to the wider public to consume and enjoy, and is primed for the upcoming Global DJ Broadcast Afterdark celebrations in October.

Mike EFEX - Malfunction10

Summary

Mike EFEX is one of the most closely associated with Coldharbour with awesome innovative releases under his belt. Besides his forward thinking progressive tracks his newest baby called Malfunction on Coldharbour Black imprint is dark moody thunderous energetic peaktime monster techno track that is destined to drive nuts the listeners and make them jump on the dancefloor without delays. Cool vocal effects upon the dark pounding kick, the big thumping drums and punchy heavy basslines to get multiple plays and always get the finest reactions. #PureGold Love iT
