Merlin Ettore, a.k.a. Sorcery, makes a bold return to ara’s UTIL series, diving deep with seven twisted, precision-engineered sonic tools crafted from his unmistakable sonic DNA. Hypnotic synth lines melt into surreal, mind-warping textures, while intricate grooves pulse with eccentric hooks and vivid sonic storytelling. Blurring the lines between function and fantasy, these tracks are built for the dancefloor, radiating unpredictable intensity and pushing the boundaries of functionality in club music.
The UTIL series on Ara (about recording artists) celebrates the raw, utilitarian beauty of functional dance music, questioning the traditional notion of what a practical dance record represents in today’s world. This edition is available digitally and as a limited art release, which includes a bespoke, hand-customized tool, extending the series’ concept of functionality into the physical world.
SORCERY is a dynamic force rooted in experimental music and and honed in club culture, delivering an electrifying fusion of techno, razor-sharp IDM, gritty rhythms, and intricately defined textures. His productions are a remarkable blend of wild innovation and pinpoint precision, forging grooves that warp time and space with audacious swagger and avant-garde finesse.
With releases on esteemed labels like Bedouin Records, ARA, System Revival, Void+1, 47, and Midnight Shift, SORCERY reshapes dance music into a mutant sonic tapestry, transforming every moment into a visceral, mind-bending experience. His forward-thinking approach to groove crafts a sonic universe where functionality intertwines with fantasy, perpetually defying expectations and erasing genre boundaries.
Having made his mark in his base of Berlin at venues like Berghain’s Klubnacht and Tresor, SORCERY’s live sets are fast paced controlled chaos infused with immense club torque. His performances are charged with kinetic energy and meticulously designed to challenge the very limits of the dancefloor experience.
