Berlin’s underground electronic scene pulses with renewed energy as Hentai Kino unveils their latest single, “Heat Carrier” the fourth installment in their third wave of releases. This electrifying track captures the raw, unfiltered essence of club culture, distilling the magic of a packed dancefloor into three minutes of relentless grooves and euphoric melodies. From the first beat, “Heat Carrier” immerses listeners in a world of sweat-soaked movements and uninhibited expression, where sassy vocal chops slice through a pulsating bassline, creating an irresistible call to the dancefloor.
Hentai Kino’s signature blend of Berlin’s gritty club energy and the eccentric, boundary-pushing spirit of Japanese electronica shines brighter than ever here. The track’s production is a masterclass in controlled chaos, layering hypnotic synths, punchy percussion, and those iconic diva vocal samples that have become a hallmark of the project. Following the success of Encore Wonder, Emergency Mantra, and Joyride Overflow, “Heat Carrier” continues Hentai Kino’s sonic diary, a nine-track exploration of life’s fleeting highs and transformative lows recorded between December 2024 and January 2025.
Since their 2021 debut, Hentai Kino has evolved from pixelated anime aesthetics and spontaneous house beats to a more refined, experimental sound, now marked by a bold yellow-and-purple visual identity. Yet, despite this maturation, their music retains its rebellious core. “Heat Carrier” is a testament to their ability to balance avant-garde experimentation with dancefloor immediacy, making it a must-play for anyone craving a taste of Berlin’s untamed nightlife. With this release, Hentai Kino cements their status as one of electronic music’s most thrilling innovators.
