Yeah mate, i agree with you. Very Dark and Techno influenced. Last month i picked up his "Nu Identity EP" Release, which has 4 solid techno-trance monsters in it!
He seems to use very Phat Kick Drums accompanied with Filtered screeching Techno synths. Really good production.
His tunes are a very good example of quality Techno Trance not Hardstyle.

Its different from your typical 'Brain Ovulation' stuff and a lot of the Hardstyle out at the moment...... The stuff which concentrates on Kicks, Basslines and Drums. The stuff where on the last 2 beats of the bar uses the Gabba Kick drum.
Lorenzo De Preti, who unlike other artists who use the Brain Ovualtion style of typical Hardstlye @ the moment, concentrates on using techno elements, screeching filtered synths, dark and eerie percussion and twisted harsh 303's. This is why to me, it is Pure Techno Trance and nothing else.

Anyway, respect to this guy, as he is very talented, and also has his own unique style. Expect a lot.............
