White Cat Project's Duende EP lands on Vibetek with DJ-friendly range

White Cat Project’s Duende EP arrived with a very usable shape: four tracks on Vibetek Records, catalog number VT0535, and a lane that sits between Minimal / Deep Tech and Techno (Peak Time / Driving). The title cut, “Duende,” came in at 7:12, ran at 126 BPM, and sat in E major, which is the kind of detail that tells selectors exactly where this record can live in a set. It is long enough to breathe, tight enough to mix, and pitched to work beyond one narrow corner of the room.

That crossover is the point. Minimal / Deep Tech and peak-time techno often get treated like separate worlds, but in club use they overlap more than a lot of genre tags admit. Clean percussion, controlled low-end movement, and arrangements that build pressure without overloading the mix are useful whether a DJ is easing into a room, locking in a middle stretch, or handing off to a bigger peak. Vibetek’s decision to file Duende EP across both tags suggests the label sees White Cat Project as a project that can move between those phases without breaking the flow.

The four-track format strengthens that read. A short EP forces choices, and this one looks built for pacing rather than filler. Vibetek has been keeping White Cat Project active on the label side too: Beatport lists “Mental Atmosphere” from May 25, 2026, with VT0533, “Be” from December 22, 2025, with VT0501, and “Deep Underground” from September 29, 2025, with VT0486. Discogs also lists “Choice For Live” from December 1, 2025, with VT0500, while “Are You Awake” landed on August 11, 2025, as VT0477. That serial numbering points to a steady release run, not a one-off appearance.

Vibetek’s broader roster backs that up. The label page also includes Hidari, Daiane, DJ PIZZINI, Alfred Novack, and John Laurence, which puts White Cat Project inside an active underground pipeline rather than a siloed artist lane. White Cat Project’s own SoundCloud history adds more context, with earlier uploads and EPs such as Turn the Light There EP, Take a Place to Go, 2024 EP, Some Things Deserve to Be Improved, and Alucination. Duende EP fits that catalog-minded approach: functional, tightly framed, and built to travel from deeper rooms into peak-time pressure without losing its identity.
