Analogue timbres meet modern sound design, whilst hypnotic melodies and dynamic arrangements create a dense, almost trance-like atmosphere. Rather than relying on short-lived effects, ankai opts for a steady build-up that really comes into its own on large sound systems and during extended DJ sets.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>With the <b>\u201cHypernova EP\u201d<\/b>, <b>ankai<\/b> highlights his musical evolution and cements his connection to <b>Harthouse<\/b>.
