Pathfinder by syntrovert

We are pleased to welcome back syntrovert, a producer hailing from Valparaíso, Chile, with the full release of their EP Pathfinder. After debuting on Terminal with the single Hope Recover, this new 4-track work delves even deeper into the creative process, capturing each stage from the initial spark to the challenges and external influences that shape the final result.

The opening track, Hope Recover, sets the tone for the EP, blending tribal house, club, and bass with subtle harmonies and expansive atmospheres inspired by colour bass and trance. Anchored by a melodic piano, the piece navigates through the phases of creative thought, tracing the ebb and flow of ideas within a sonic fantasy.

The EP follows this path, with each track connecting through a shared collection of samples, offering a cohesive sonic landscape that reflects both the artist's life and the evolution of the music itself. Pathfinder moves between the abstract and the visceral, serving as a meditation on the impact of trends within the global music community. Throughout the EP, a subaquatic fantasy unfolds: vibrant ecosystems emerging from the depths, teetering on the edge of the abyss, offering an immersive and expansive sonic experience.

The journey doesn’t end here: Pathfinder expands with key remixes that add new layers to the original work. Fellow Valparaíso producer paltamango delivers a remix that deepens the bass and percussive elements. Sarah Farina brings her RainbowBass vision into futuristic realms, while Peder Mannerfelt twists the track into more physical, industrial territory, deconstructing techno’s structures with his unmistakable angular approach, creating something both cerebral and visceral.

Pathfinder is a statement of intent, an EP that invites you to dive into a universe where musical creation and imagination meet on the edge of the unknown.
