Contributing WriterThe London-based artist delivers an explosive two-track release that explores shadow, resilience and the emotional extremes of modern Techno
London-based DJ, producer and TMPL Music label boss ADRIANNA caps off an impressive year in the studio with Demon Mind, a gripping two-track EP marking her eagerly anticipated debut on Simina Grigoriu’s Kuukou Records. With previous standout releases on We Are The Brave, Terminal M and Kurai, ADRIANNA continues her sharp ascent, carving out a signature sound defined by emotional depth, precision engineering and an unapologetically kinetic approach to Techno.
On Demon Mind, ADRIANNA opens a portal into her shadow side, delivering one of her most uncompromising works to date. The title track is a tense, pressure-cooked burner designed to provoke and unsettle in the best possible way. Through frenetic sonics, strained atmospherics and a blistering low end, she channels fear, angst and internal conflict into a track that hits with rig-levelling ferocity. It’s a raw, urgent release of energy; dark, cathartic and impossible to ignore.
On the flip, Jack sees ADRIANNA reunite with regular collaborator Reaktive for a contrasting surge of momentum and melodic force. Bursting out with immediate intent, the duo strike a razor-sharp balance between emotive musicality and industrial edge. Propelled by thunderous drums, serrated textures, acid streaks and powerful prog stabs, “Jack” captures a spirit of grit, determination and forward motion. It’s eyes-down, mobile Techno engineered for late-night endurance; an anthem of challenge and triumph that crescendos into a potent, floor-commanding peak.
With this release, ADRIANNA reinforces her position as one of Techno’s most compelling emerging voices, while Kuukou Records once again proves its commitment to high-impact, meaningful club music. True to the label’s ethos – techno for techno – Demon Mind lands as a bold addition to Kuukou’s runway of hard-hitting, emotionally charged productions built to leave a lasting mark on the dancefloor.
