The Brazilian Techno queen โAnnaโ is back on โTerminal M.
โAnnaโ over the years has been one of the most impressive artistโs and DJs in the modern era. It seems everything this lady touches, either remix work or original productions ouches quality and with a dedicated refined direction.
Sheโs an artist with a wealth of music and experience that dates back to an early age of 14 whilst finding her passion and earning a path in electronic music. Her persistence and hard work is something that is very admirable and has ultimately propelled her as an artist / DJ into global electronic stratosphere.
Id would be very surprised if you hadnโt heard some mutation of an โAnnaโ production as there as been many out there and ones which all carry their own unique DNA. Her music is quite purist in a sense that itโs very locked in to a deeper club groove that really epitomises what modern techno is all about.
I believe this is the 2nd single release from โAnnaโ on the equally outstanding โTerminal Mโ imprint that continues to excel in very consistent manner. The previous single release titled โRedemption/Odd Behaviourโ is still a very prominent one, and if you havenโt heard it yet I would say it would be straight into your digital shopping cart on first listen.
Getting into this release we have a fantastic two-track exhibit starting with release title โFace Your Fearsโ. The track starts of with a reverberated stretched vocal snippet carrying the title the track before getting straight into a deep rounded techno throb. It builds around cleverly worked hats and percussion before unleashing into and acid take over.
The acid influence in this track is not the standard 303 ear piecing squelchy ripping rhythms you would expect when the word โAcidโ is mentioned, but rather is a warmer less ear fatiguing neatly grooved outlay. It also builds with another overlaid element which dare I say reminds me of the classic by โLaurent Garnier โ Crispy Baconโ. More vocal snippets are used creatively throughout and itโs very hypnotic.
Next is the equally strong title โLeave Houseโ โ Here we have something that feels a little less on the driving side but nicely grooved and contains infectious funky synth rhythms. Itโs very hypnotic with filtering vocal fx which carry the atmosphere of the track well. Id say this is defiantly one that will cross the boarders of the Techno to Tech house scene well with purpose.
On a whole another floor damaging release for โTerminal Mโ and โAnnaโ simply at her best.
