Imogen, Ben Pest - Hellangel

In October 2025, a familiar frequency pulses back into range: IMOGEN and Ben Pest return to Wigs Records with Hellangel — a five-track EP and the long-awaited follow-up to their 2021 debut Volts. Where Volts introduced their shared language, Hellangel is its acceleration: more refined in shape, but more volatile in spirit a focused detonation of bleep techno, acid and electro filtered through the fierce individuality of two singular producers. Though its parts are sculpted with precision, Hellangel is not polite music. It growls and contorts in unexpected ways, leaning into the body while constantly dodging expectations. Ben Pest’s unruly modular squelch meets IMOGEN’s razor-sharp rhythmic instincts, creating a dynamic that feels like a live wire conversation. Across the EP’s five cuts, genre is less a boundary than a palette: warping acid lines intersect with UK-inspired low-end pressure, modular patterns collapse into tense breakdowns; high-energy electro grooves distort into tension and noise. 

This is music built not just for clubs, but for sound systems, and it finds its spiritual home in Wigs’ upcoming takeover of Berlin’s legendary Tresor, where Wigs holds its club residency. Spanning both the Tresor and Globus floors, the launch will feature Ben Pest [LIVE], IMOGEN, and a carefully curated cast including Roza Terenzi, Akua, FAFF, and Dyslecta, mapping the contours of the label’s forward-facing sonic identity in real time. Hellangel is not an extension of Volts, nor a reinvention. It’s a sharpening. A record that doesn’t just develop their collaboration but makes the case for it as something essential. Across these tracks, you hear not only the collision of two strong musical minds, but a shared refusal to flatten their voices into something safe. The result is not a fusion, it’s a doubling.
