Brilliantly creative design and an unprecedented fusion of traits creates a contrasted realm of both intensity and calm – tehnik carves out an unignorable lane in hardtekk and hardcore dance, with the beautiful yet aptly-titled Chaos.
From industrial beat-building through delicate vocals and German lyricism, the track intrigues and engages from the outset, later offering just enough of a high-octane pace and distorted presence to really present as something original and distinct.
The style is fascinating, the song is too – a simple indie pop performance on the one hand, boldly intertwined with outlandish hardcore production, and tehnik is rightfully racking up tens of thousands of streams for that authenticity and identity.
Genre aside, the craftwork and composition here from tehnik is naturally alluring – the gentle and intimate voice, the near-gabber inspired fuzz and tempo; it’s an unorthodox but intoxicating pairing of styles, and the structure of the track, the rise and the fall, the whisper and the drop, all speaks volumes on behalf of a producer that’s unafraid to break boundaries.
Chaos is playful yet intentional, dissonant yet satisfying, and impressively immersive as it gathers stylish momentum. The future of electronic and hardcore dance music is undoubtedly afoot.
