Review: Temple Tears operates in the shadows, letting the music do the talking. Little is known about this new artist except for these new powerful techno monsters. 'Lose Control' is a high-energy ride built for peak-time chaos, packed with sharp stop-start moments that amplify its impact. The production is airtight, delivering a mechanical, sci-fi-infused atmosphere that fits right into the biggest festival stages. 'Walk Away' takes a different route, blending heavy, thunderous techno with a melodic, cinematic break. Emotion seeps through the arrangement, adding a dramatic edge before plunging back into its relentless drive. Both tracks are built for serious club energy, balancing precision with intensity.
Review: SKALA's 'Eclipse' is a masterclass in minimal, tribal techno. The original track starts with a heavy, reverberating beat that sets a primal, serious tone. As metallic melody chimes emerge, the track evolves into an otherworldly journey, building momentum through a melodic break before reaching a triumphant climax. The Ivan Masa remix elevates the intensity, pushing the track's energy to new heights. Masa infuses it with deeper layers and a more driving rhythm, amplifying the original's atmosphere and taking it to a more electrifying place. Both versions capture a raw, powerful essence, with a strong focus on intricate sound design and momentum. 'Eclipse' is a track that will resonate with fans of forward-thinking techno.
Review: Cioz's 'These Accordi' EP is a masterclass in creating immersive, futuristic soundscapes with pulsating energy. The title track, 'These Accordi (feat. Bludropp)', is a dynamic techno builder that evolves with precision. Its pulsating rhythms and layered elements create a sense of forward motion, blending a futuristic edge with emotive undercurrents. Perfect for deeper moments on the dancefloor, it keeps the energy simmering with tension and release. 'Move On' shifts gears with alien-like textures and a tech-house vibe designed for main stage impact. Its driving bassline anchors the track, while intricate sound design adds an otherworldly, hypnotic touch. This is a high-energy piece that's as suited for peak-time sets as it is for large-scale festivals
Review: Hidden Empire's 'Move It' EP offers two high-energy tracks that seamlessly blend techno, EDM, and retro electro influences. The title track, 'Move It' takes listeners on a futuristic journey, with its driving beat and cinematic 80s electro movie vibe. It's a serious, captivating track that fuses EDM with techno for a bold, forward-thinking sound. 'Enemies' brings the heat with its big techno minimal style, featuring a powerful, head-turning beat. The track delivers an energetic, intense groove that's designed to ignite the dancefloor, with a heavy bassline and dynamic rhythm that commands attention. Both tracks are perfect for those who appreciate cutting-edge, high-impact electronic music that pushes boundaries the limits.
Review: For the latest release on Stil Vor Talent, label boss Oliver Koletzki enlists the services of the inimitable Frida Darko. The title track is based on hollowed out drums and a low-slung bass. Darko's vocals about 'having fun' play out in tantalising fashion over these elements, with some piano keys adding to the sense of drama. "Letting People Be Wrong About You" sees Koletzki follow a different approach. With a focus on a ponderous bass, acrid tones and mysterious synths, Darko's vocals floats overhead in a seductive fashion. Despite what its title might claim, this release is very much the one.
Review: As the title makes clear, 'Trip To Sanity Remixed' boasts three new reworks of tracks from Still Vor Talent founder Oliver Koletzki's eight solo album, which first appeared in stores last year. Rampue steps up first with a pleasingly off-kilter take on piano-powered treat 'My last Attempt', reaching for pitched-down tribal house drums and rushing, sunrise-ready chords, before Fabnian Krooss weighs in with a crackling and shuffling deep tech-house interpretation of Marlena Dae hook-up 'Don't Ever Wake Me Up'. Those looking for bolder, peak-time-friendly vibes should check out Tim Engelhardt and Sean Doron's anthemic, tech house-with-trance stabs tweak of 'Is It Real', featuring Malou's evocative and impactful lead vocals.
Review: This time around, the Stil Vor Talent Germany team have done a great job of unveiling yet more futuristic sonic wizardry as the hard hitting production techniques of Oliver Koletzski are brought into view across this awesome two-tracker. We begin of course with 'Finding Love', a super juicy prance through big room drum pumps and classic patois vocal samples, giving us an immediate sense of the nostalgia. On the flip, the acidity of the mix is amped up massively as Temple Tears gives the tune a little lick of clubland flavour, reworking the arrangement into a much more dancefloor sentric slide, giving us two very different sides of the same very tasty coin.
