– “PETRU KSS steps into the spotlight with a new Prima Lux mix, offering a deep and considered journey through the enduring language of minimal techno. Once regarded as the defining sound of the underground, minimal techno never truly disappeared — it simply evolved. This mix traces that lineage with intention, pairing emblematic tracks from minimal’s first wave alongside contemporary productions that reinterpret its core principles: restraint, tension, groove, and space. Rather than leaning into nostalgia, PETRU KSS focuses on continuity, showing how minimal’s DNA remains deeply embedded in modern techno.” – When We Dip
