Lux In Tenebris is the first collaborative EP by Alien T and Nightshift, released on their own imprint, Deus X Machina Records.

The EP presents three distinctive tracks, each offering a unique interpretation of the Millennium Hardcore sound.

Below is the tracklist along with a brief description of each piece:

 

LUX IN TENEBRIS

Lux In Tenebris marks the first-ever collaboration between Alien T and Nightshift, fortifying an already formidable alliance under their own Deus X Machina Records banner.
This track stands as the ultimate Hardcore Anthem, embodying the mood and the concept of Phase One, which proudly shares its name. It brings a blaze of light into the darkness of today’s Hardcore scene, completing the vision of Phase One as its final, triumphant flourish, and setting the stage for the arrival of Phase Two in 2026.
Lux In Tenebris is a masterwork of Modern Millennium Hardcore: colossal kickdrums, towering synth leads, and the commanding power expected of any true Anthem. Yet its structure breaks convention, crafted more like a song than a soundtrack, enriched by evocative Latin lyrics that cement its status as a singular creation in Hardcore history.

In the heart of darkness, this is the light that cannot be extinguished.

 

MR. AMPLINGER 909

Mr. Amplinger 909 is the wild offspring of a night of madness and raw experimentation in the studio, where Alien T and Nightshift pushed a 909 kick through an old Behringer DJX700 mixer and a cheap guitar amplifier, an unpredictable session of pure chaos that gave birth to this monstrous creation.
The power of this track lies in its aggression and simplicity, nothing more than what is absolutely necessary to become the perfect weapon for obliterating any dancefloor that dares stand before it.

Forged in distortion and unleashed with fury, Mr. Amplinger 909 was made for one purpose: total destruction.

 

THE END

The End emerged from a simple yet haunting idea: distorting a single piano sample until it became the very backbone of the track, shaping every screech, texture, and atmospheric layer. From this familiar instrument arose an otherworldly soundscape, mysterious, futuristic, and drenched in desolation, with a labyrinthine aura that pulls the listener deeper and deeper into its shadows.
As the journey unfolds, the track rises into a breathtaking breakdown, a moment where you feel as though you’ve boarded a lone spacecraft drifting through the infinite void, drawn ever closer to its final destination: the end of all things.

From one twisted piano note, an entire universe collapses, this is The End.
