Outer Soul returns to DSCI4 with Red Planet. 🔴🪐

Following 2025’s Beginnings End, Outer Soul steps back onto DSCI4 with a harder, colder second chapter — pushing deeper into uncompromising, industrial-strength techstep. ⚙️💀

Where Beginnings End laid the foundation, Red Planet sharpens the edge. Stark atmospheres, militant drum programming and crushing, system-ready low end define a release built for true heads. Stripped-back. No-frills. Engineered for dark rooms and serious sound systems. 🔊🌑

Featuring Red Planet, Original, Phobia and Nightcrawler, the EP moves through dystopian tension, rolling pressure and late-night menace with precision and control — balancing classic underground energy with heavyweight modern production. 🏭🔥

Out worldwide 6 March 2026
