Release context
Awakening, also from 2017, shows A-Tech working outside the Dacru catalogue through Maharetta Records. The close timing of the two EPs makes that year a useful snapshot of the project's expanding label reach.
A-Tech is the solo project of Portuguese producer Tiago Guerra, who moved from DJing house, techno and trance into psytrance production and became closely associated with Dacru Records. His releases from this period sit in the full-on end of the spectrum, but the project also developed through collaborations and label appearances rather than relying on a single album cycle.
