THELMA: A Techno Enthusiast with an Electrifying New EP, The Higher Land
As spring unfolds, Spanish techno producer THELMA unveils her exhilarating EP, The Higher Land, released via ec2a. Comprising two powerful tracks, this EP is designed for the peak hours on the dancefloor, promising a captivating rhythmic experience.
Starting her musical journey at the tender age of three, THELMA’s passion blossomed in college when she discovered electronic music, igniting her ambition to create sounds that resonate with her spirit. Her love for techno was solidified during nights spent at the underground Swiss club Folklor, where she resolved to carve out her niche in the genre. This two-track EP showcases both her keen musicality and the relentless dedication she has channeled into her artistic pursuits.
“Greenhouse” opens the EP with a relentless beat, layering dynamic synth loops over powerful kicks. The track establishes its energetic vibe immediately, featuring a raw, mechanical essence without unnecessary complexity. You can clearly hear the influence of Detroit techno woven into her sound.
Shifting gears, “This World” elevates the tempo with distorted acid basslines and sharp, driving rhythms. This track builds anticipation, feeling as though it’s racing towards an exhilarating climax. The intricate layering and subtle textural variations keep the energy fresh from beginning to end. Both tracks run between five and six minutes, striking the perfect balance between impact and momentum.
The Higher Land is available now. Stream it on Spotify or your favorite music platform.
