Intec makes its long-awaited return with Chasing Ghosts, a high-impact three-track EP from Carlo Lio & M.I.T.A., landing on the 4th of April. 

Founded by Carl Cox in 1998, Intec quickly became a powerhouse in the techno world, responsible for seminal anthems like Sunshine, D-Clash, and Pontape. After closing in 2006 and relaunching in 2010, the label continued to push forward-thinking, groove-heavy techno before going on hiatus again in 2020, with Roel Salemink’s Eskes as its last release. Now, the time is right for Intec to return and do what it does best – delivering dancefloor-shaking records from both fresh talent and familiar names.

Few artists embody that ethos better than Carlo Lio and M.I.T.A., two producers whose sound is built on relentless energy and undeniable groove. Toronto-born Carlo Lio has long been a force in the underground, earning a reputation for his hypnotic, techy beats that captivate crowds worldwide. As a DJ, producer, and label boss of Rawthentic Music alongside Nathan Barato, he has released on influential imprints like Tronic, Suara, and KD Raw, with his music championed by the likes of Dubfire, Marco Carola, Carl Cox, and Loco Dice. His ability to translate raw emotion into sound has made him a fixture on the global club circuit, where his deep, pulsing grooves take dancefloors on a journey.

M.I.T.A., hailing from the shores of Ischia, is a master of groove and a dedicated explorer of techno. With releases on CROWD, Virgo, Suara, Uncage, and Tronic, his music has earned support from heavyweights like Pan-Pot, Sam Paganini, Ilario Alicante, and Marco Faraone. He has graced the decks of legendary venues such as fabric, D-Edge, and Melkweg, while his tracks have reverberated across the world’s most respected festival stages, from Awakenings and Time Warp to Tomorrowland and Sonus.

With Chasing Ghosts, the duo delivers a statement release that sets the tone for Intec’s new chapter. The title track is a relentless peak-time weapon, while ‘AFREAKA’ and ‘The Artist’s Struggle’ push deeper into funky, hard-groove territory – embodying the signature energy that has defined the label since its inception. Intec has always been a champion of high-energy, tribal, and groove-driven techno, as well as its more melodic side. Now after almost 25 years, the label returns with a renewed focus: uncovering standout records from fresh talent while bringing back some familiar names from its storied past.
