Self Control drop "Sing" a package split between Ragnar Atari, Boyesen, Future Self and OTH.


Self Control Records unveil Ragnar Atari’s latest EP, “Sing”. Releasing Friday, October 18, 2024. Ragnar Atari has appeared previously on the label’s remix roster, the creative force behind a few notable remixes on the label has evolved his sound with this release by stepping into the role of vocalist for the first time. Based in Stockholm, Axel blends vocal Melodic Techno with Deep Progressive House, marking a significant departure from his previous more Acid Techno endeavours.



This transformation is encapsulated in “Sing” offering listeners a more profound and emotive track to connect to while retaining the signature elements of his earlier work, including the occasional resonant 303. The six-track EP features original mixes alongside a set of remixes from esteemed artists such as another label returnee Boyesen, label supremo Future Self, and new to the pack OTH. Notably, Boyesen’s remix of “Sing” stands out with its robust melodic lines while the production on the OTH. remix channels the banging Swedish compressor Techno of the late 90s in full force.



As always Future Self adds a unique touch, equipping the track with a sense of nuance you rarely hear nowadays. The collaborative spirit is further highlighted by the shared history between Ragnar Atari and Boyesen, both of whom previously remixed “Guess Again” earlier this year.



“Sing” is a showcase of Ragnar Atari’s flexibility as a producer and his ability to innovate and change things up when the time is right. As a whole this record is a great showcase of the vibrant community of producers Self Control Records is building.
