Out now, the two-track offering is accompanied by the announcement of CARV’s upcoming thirteen-date world tour, taking on headline stops in South America, Europe and the USA over December 2024 and January 2025.
Following an impressive run of Beatport chart-topping releases on leading labels including Verknipt Records, Trouble Maker Records, TELETECH, NineTimesNine and his very own Masked Rules imprint over the course of 2024, pioneering German techno producer, DJ and Masked Rules label boss CARV now looks to continue his emphatic run of form into the back end of the year with the release of his incredible new two-track EP ‘Unleash The Beast’.
Out now via leading Dutch hard techno imprint Revised Records, the highly anticipated two-track EP is also accompanied by the announcement of CARV’s biggest global tour to date, which will see the esteemed German artist bring his uncompromising hard techno sounds to some of the world’s most iconic venues and festivals over December 2024 and January 2025.
The EP’s title track, ‘Unleash The Beast’, is a testament to CARV’s raw creativity and mastery of the hard techno genre. Featuring his signature pounding basslines and adrenaline-fueled energy, the track encapsulates the blistering intensity for which CARV has become so famed over the past two years. On the flip, the EP’s closer ‘Stop Talking’ continues to showcase CARV’s powerful soundscape with gritty, driving beats and his unique blend of technical precision and emotional depth. Together, these tracks reinforce CARV’s position as one of the most innovative producers in the hard techno scene today.
The release of ‘Unleash The Beast’ EP coincides with the imminent launch of CARV’s upcoming international tour, which features an incredible thirteen stops across South America, Europe and North America over the next two months. His biggest world tour to date, fans can expect the full CARV experience: relentless, high-octane sets combined with his enigmatic stage presence, highlighted by his iconic golden mask.
CARV has become a defining figure in the hard techno scene over the past two years, known for his innovative approach to production and his electrifying live performances. His golden mask symbolizes his belief that music should always take centre stage, while his artist name – short for “Criminal And Rough Version” – reflects his rebellious spirit and dedication to pushing the limits of the genre. Since bursting onto the scene with his December 2022 ‘Frankfurt ‘EP and its standout track ‘Frankfurt Bahnhofsviertel’, CARV has consistently delivered powerful anthems that resonate deeply with his growing legion of fans. In 2023, his smash hit ‘Say My Name’ became a dancefloor staple, and the founding of his hybrid fashion and music label, Masked Rules.
CARV’s live performances are more than just music – they are immersive emotional journeys that leave an indelible impression, and his relentless passion for innovation and connection with his audience has made him a global phenomenon. From headlining festivals like Verknipt Arena in Amsterdam, Blackworks Festival in Spain and HARDBeats Festival in Ljubljana, to captivating fans with sell-out performances at a 40,000-capacity Johan Cruyff Arena, RAVE REBELS Weekender XXL at IMG Arena Brussles and Cologne’s legendary Bootshaus nightclub, CARV has proven time and again that he is an unstoppable force in electronic music. With the release of ‘Unleash The Beast’ and an ambitious global tour, CARV has cemented his position as one of the most in-demand artists on the international techno circuit and is ready to make 2025 his most impactful year yet. This is more than music – it’s a movement.
