3. Nora En Pure: “Polar Lights”
Swiss-based DJ Nora En Pure returned with her new single, “Polar Lights.” This techno track encapsulates the airy and mysterious nature of winter nights and northern lights. The core synths are round and soft, decorated with a subtle orchestra, chimes, and some sort of woodwind instrument that ripples through like a call from the wild.
4. Adam Beyer: “Life Is”
Sweden’s own Adam Beyer made a dark return with “Life Is.” This hard techno track radiates power with it’s bullet-like, crushed laser sounds and pounding bassline. The various alterations of the vocal sample add an engaging texture. And though jarring in some ways, the instrumental still keeps the listener in that sweet hypnotic zone.
5. ANATTA: “Love Me Down”
