Let Me Know EP by Veztax & Becco: A Techno Time Capsule from 2006
Man, this one hit me like a punch to the gut—in the best way possible. Let Me Know EP by Veztax & Becco isn’t just another techno release; it’s like opening a time capsule from Belgium in 2006 and finding something raw, unfiltered, and oddly alive. Released on Kroma Recordings, this little gem feels like someone bottled up a dark warehouse rave and handed it over for you to experience all these years later.
The whole thing kicks off with “Midva,” and honestly? This track is why I’ll never forget this EP. It starts off slow—like, teasingly slow—but then BAM! The beat drops, and suddenly you’re not just listening anymore; you’re moving. You don’t even realize it at first. Your feet start tapping, your head nods along, and before you know it, you’ve been standing there swaying like an idiot for five minutes straight. That bassline? Pure hypnotic magic. Feels dirty but also kinda… sophisticated? Like wearing ripped jeans to a fancy dinner party. It’s got layers, man.
Then there’s “3Bilius.” Oh wow, this one’s wild. If “Midva” pulls you into its groove, “3Bilius” throws you right into chaos. There’s something about how the synths spiral out of control that makes me wanna lose my mind every time. It’s unpredictable, almost frantic, but still so damn satisfying. It reminds me of those nights when everything feels blurry yet sharp at the same time—you’re dancing too hard to think clearly, but somehow, you know exactly where you are. Tracks like this make me wish I could teleport back to some underground Belgian club in ’06 just to see how people reacted to it live.
And yeah, sure, “Minic” is solid too—it ties things together nicely—but let’s be real here: “Midva” and “3Bilius” steal the show. They’re the kind of tracks that stick with you long after the music stops playing. Not because they’re perfect (they’re not) but because they feel real. Imperfect, gritty, human.
What gets me thinking though is how music like this can survive decades without losing its edge. Most stuff from 2006 sounds dated now, but Let Me Know EP? Nah, it still hits different. Maybe it’s the simplicity—or maybe it’s proof that good techno doesn’t need bells and whistles to shake your soul.
You know what’s funny? Listening to this made me wonder if Veztax & Becco ever thought their work would end up being reviewed by some random person sitting in sweatpants years later. Probably not. But hey, here we are. Life’s weird like that.
