Interstellar’s Diverse Electronic Palette welcomes Hidden Empire and Warung

With their most recent releases, Interstellar Recordings—the melodic echo of Insomniac Music Group—offers two contrasting works that wonderfully highlight the label’s adaptability across the electronic music scene. From peaceful deep house to pulsing techno, the albums by Warung & Elliot Vast and Hidden Empire highlight the range of contemporary electronic music.

Warung and Elliot Vast’s “Racing Heart” is a masterwork in subtle evolution and emotional depth. The first plucked melody on the track provides a mesmerizing basis and instantly transports listeners into its complex soundscape. It is expertly written. The production’s enchantment comes from an ethereal voice joining the mix to add layers of mystique to the already mesmerizing environment.

“Racing Heart” distinguishes itself, especially with its deft use of piano harmonies, which progressively increase in intensity and produce a natural and deliberate development. The arrangement is remarkably similar to Keinemusik’s distinctive sound, which fits very nicely with the present wave of chill-afro house dominating dancefloors worldwide. The production quality is flawless, letting every component breathe while maintaining a coherent audio story even if the speed stays slow.

By comparison, Hidden Empire’s “Feel Free” carries listeners right to the core of Berlin’s underground techno scene. This high-energy presentation spends little time in establishing its aims and starts a fast-fire arrangement of hypnotic synthesizer work that grabs attention right away. The strong vocal presence of the music adds still another level of intensity, exactly balancing the powerful rhythmic basis.

The production shines in its capacity to produce complex sound designs and preserve constant vigor. Any Berlin warehouse party would see the top-line synths falling into deep, underground-style drops that would feel natural. It’s evidence of Hidden Empire’s capacity to preserve their original artistic expression while yet capturing the core of contemporary techno.
