Tunnel announces album with the relentless ‘Control’
Producer Tunnel has released the utterly blistering new track, ‘Control’, the first to be lifted from the forthcoming album Personas. Out now, it is Tunnel’s first release since 2024’s Interlinked EP, and sets the tone for a project of blurred genre boundaries and pioneering attitudes towards electronic music. It’s new and it is visceral.
It begins with a question, a stark provocation… “You want to control people?”. It then plunges into a chaotic and industrial mix of lively breaks, screaming techno synths and a hardcore drive. Engineered for warehouses or intense listening sessions, experiencing a transcendent but violent set of sound design.
Tunnel shares, “With Personas, I wanted to break free from the constraints of a specific genre and create something that reflects the range of my musical obsessions, while building a narrative throughout,” says Tunnel. “The album reflects something that doesn’t fit into a neat and easily described box. It’s a sonic journey, shifting and evolving like a living entity, all in the service of emotion and a narrative of personal transformation. It’s equal parts dystopian and hopeful. I love music that refuses to play by the rules of specific genres, and Personas is my way of embracing that ethos.”
Ryan Miller began Tunnel as his latest electronic moniker. Now, he releases through his own Webuildmachines imprint, crafting ‘techno language’ as he sees it, a relentless hybrid. Performing across the globe, he has summoned audiences with a sound of beauty and brutality. Look out for the album.
