[Techno] Cinnedi – Rush

Posted by Tyler Trew - October 31, 2024

Cinnedi has always been known for her story-focused style, combining a love for dark storytelling with a deeply personal touch. Now, she leaves behind the world of “Seven Deadly Sins” and embraces something a fresh direction. “Rush” marks the beginning of a new era, diving into dystopian techno antics that reflect a bigger story surrounding her move into an edgier, unrefined sound.

“Rush” is a surge of dark energy—an engaging, 128 BPM journey with deep bass lines and ominous synth textures. The track’s pounding pulse provides intensity, and while it’s a move somewhat far from her previous work, it remains unmistakably Cinnedi in its tone.

Previously, Cinnedi received attention through her previosly mentioned “Seven Deadly Sins” project, which gathered over 200,000 streams on Spotify. The thematic depth and cinematic storytelling of that project attracted notable interest.

With “Rush,” Cinnedi reinvents her path, promising an era filled with the dark, driving techno energy that ventures into new ground.

Posted by Marcus Daly - August 4, 2024

In the sunny streets of Long Beach, New York, two tech house names, Justin Butensky and Ben Naouai, found each other and formed CURLYHEADS. Their journey took them from local gigs to a new home base in Tampa, Florida. This duo is all about infusing their tech and bass house sound with an undeniable energy, creating an atmosphere that is both infectious and unforgettable. They have this way of making every performance feel like a euphoric celebration.

Their latest track, “WHATCHU GONNA DO?”, is an absolute banger – a fusion of vibrant funk and groove, layered with classic disco vocals. The basslines thump with a lively percussion that gets right under your skin. And then comes the remix by Smith & Sorren – these guys inject their modern tech house style within the original, blending perfectly with CURLYHEADS’ original to create something that strike a stand out balance.

CURLYHEADS have certainly been busy. Their tracks spin regularly on Diplo’s Revolution, KISS FM, and ToolRoom Radio. They’ve played at iconic venues like Space Miami and Brooklyn Mirage and have shared stages with industry giants like Jake Shore and Corrupt UK. Supported by names like AC Slater and Sidepiece, they’re climbing higher with release and show no signs of slowing down.
