Technasia – Heart Of Flesh EP

Technasia’s – Heart of Flesh EP is due out soon on Cadenza Records and it’s setting the airwaves on fire at the moment. ย A big plus too is that it made it on Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune last Friday. ย Nice work by Technasia indeed!!

The first track, ‘Heart of Flesh’, is an uptempo percussion-driven groove and features a spoken-word diva sample that Siegling manages to twist into delay heaven before throwing us off an almighty precipice. What follows is a late night, rolling tech house river that is impossible to escape. Like a torrent of white water beats, ‘Heart of Flesh’ pulls you under the surface with powerful undercurrents. Fans of tougher, more driving rhythms will appreciate the track is a gear above Cadenza’s usual cool cruising speed.
The second track ‘Octaval’ is less beat-centric and more musical. With a symphony of machine sounds combining into a song of sorts, the track is subtle and intelligent organic techno. With jovial notes that dance with a spring in their step, the pitter patter of downtrodden drums beneath leads us to a raw, futuristic tribal dance. Technasia throws in some indecipherable Spanish female vocals, which could easily have come from a sleazy Ibiza house cut circa 2001.
Final track ‘Michigan Ride’ hints at Motor City’s past with warm dissonant stabs and a melodic underbelly. The loop Technasia builds is trippy, but it never forgets its purpose. Slowly pushing the dancefloor along, inch-by-inch, the cut slices through the early morning haze like a warm knife through butter. Touching on Berlin’s new school dub techno sounds, Technasia also repeats intermittently, via a robotic vocal sample, the word “house”, its meaning lost beneath the layers of genreless beats.
