PREMIERE: PETEL - No Fear [Marginalia]

Super groovy EP! Track Info: Tel Aviv-based duo PETEL — made up of Kobi and Ehud — make their debut on ELIF’s Marginalia with Be, while Marginalia staple Althoff returns, this time on remix duties. The EP showcases the pair’s unique synergy: Kobi’s precision in production and Ehud’s deep musicality combine to create a sound that’s both vulnerable and expansive. The opening track Be channels a powerful message of identity and presence. Haunting vocals swirl around analogue warmth, as hypnotic synths and fluid grooves evolve with patience and purpose. It’s a track that invites surrender — both in the body and in the moment. Stepping up for the remix is Brazilian talent Althoff (Katermukke, Bar 25, Borders of Light), who has released regularly with Marginalia. Known for his textured, organic approach to melodic techno and supported by names like Solomun and Adriatique, Althoff reimagines Be with tribal percussion, layered tension, and sweeping melodic phrasing — turning the original’s intimacy into a peak-time ritual. The EP closes with No Fear, a darker, late-night roller with tightly wound rhythms and deep, immersive energy. Synth lines pulse beneath subtle vocal samples, building toward a moment of restrained release. With Be EP, Marginalia continues its journey of releasing music that fuses feeling and function — a home for artists unafraid to dig deeper.
