Simina Grigoriu kicks off 2025 with a powerhouse release, teaming up with Italian techno maestro Hollen for the ‘Remote Control’ EP - out now on her imprint, Kuukou Records. Packed with three hypnotic tracks - ‘Remote Control,’ ‘Kaoss Physics,’ and ‘Wrong Or Right’ - this EP delivers a high-octane dose of cutting-edge techno built to dominate global dancefloors.

Simina and Hollen’s collaboration is a seamless blend of pulsating rhythms, intricate textures, and deep, driving energy. From peak-time bangers to hypnotic grooves, the ‘Remote Control’ EP is a statement of intent for the year ahead. 

The title track kicks off with commanding beats, hypnotic synths, and sharp industrial hits. Digital, robotic vocals cut through the mix, adding an edgy touch as the track’s relentless drive pulls listeners deep into its magnetic orbit. Following on, ‘Kaoss Physics’ takes a deeper dive, layering glitchy textures, intricate synth complexities and rolling momentum to create a darker, moodier vibe. Closing out the EP, ‘Wrong Or Right’ drives forward with fast-paced, heady rhythms and crisp percussion at its core, while a gritty, vocal sample adds an extra layer of intensity. With its industrial edge and feral spirit, the track is primed for vast warehouse spaces, delivering pure dancefloor dynamism.

Following the success of her final 2024 offering ‘Resident Frequency’ - a tribute to Berlin’s vibrant rave culture - Simina’s latest project reinforces her reputation as one of techno’s most forward-thinking artists. With Hollen’s contemporary production style blending effortlessly with Simina’s signature sound, the ‘Remote Control’ EP strikes the perfect balance between innovation and tradition. It honours the raw, refined roots of techno while pushing the genre forward, delivering a bold and captivating experience that resonates on every level.

Dutch duo NRNT unleash a powerful statement of groove and sonic depth with their latest four-tracker 'Monolith'. Known for their hypnotic rhythms and floor-focused productions, NRNT deliver an EP that balances precision and funk-designed for movement, crafted with intent. From the first beat to the final fade, Monolith locks into the deeper side of techno with a rolling, percussive energy that never lets go.

The title track 'Monolith' is a towering slab of groove-solid, stripped-back, and relentlessly focused. Built around a chunky, rolling low-end and razor-sharp drum programming, 'Monolith' evolves with subtle modulations and atmospheric stabs that rise from beneath the surface like echoes off stone. It’s a masterclass in tension and restraint, gradually building into a hypnotic groove machine that commands the floor with quiet authority.

'Pace' - the track leans into a more driving rhythm, layering crisp hi-hats and flickering percussive details over a bouncing sub groove. Tight delays and shuffled patterns keep things fluid, while a sneaky synth motif creeps in and out, giving the track a sense of forward motion and pressure. It’s the kind of roller that keeps the dancers locked in, riding that perfect line between momentum and head-nodding depth.

'Quiver' is built on a pulsating low-end with stuttering percussion that flutters and shifts like nervous energy in a dark room. Dubby FX, ghostly textures, and morphing synths drift through the mix, creating an eerie yet captivating vibe. There’s a tension in the track subtle but persistent that makes it perfect for those deeper, more psychedelic moments in a set.

'Salient' closing the EP with purpose, cutting through the haze with a brighter, more energetic tone. Driven by a punchy groove and crisp clap patterns, it balances rhythmic complexity with floor-filling warmth. Melodic stabs and distant pads breathe in and out as the track develops, giving it a sense of dynamic space without losing the locked-in, rolling energy that defines the whole release.

Christian Smith recently spent a few days in Germany working on some tracks with Eric Sneo. Life Moves Pretty Fast has a nice old school feel, but with todays production. Loads of energy with phat grooves, and analog stabs. Deluxe is arpeggio driven, more hypnotic, but equally powerful!
