EP of #rawtechno / #tribaltechno gems from Guatemalan producer Maōh. Self-proclaimed "rhythms from Tikal." Dark, fast, and energetic. Lots of boundary-pushing percussion-forward elements. Psytrance also seems to be on the mind. Fully incorporates Mayan iconography into all artwork and media. Four great tracks "unleashed in 1800 BCE." All tracks FCC clean, play any.

1. (5:25) Dizzyingly dense with fast churning beats and a slithering didgeridoo/horn melody that twists and turns through the track
2. (4:56) Sutttering hardgroove-style track with insane hand drums and layers galore
3. (5:29) Rattly and raw percussion-forward banger with slivers of string elements and horns
4. (6:21) Progressive and slow-building. Hypnotic and epic
