For its 25th release, LINK Audio presents a brand-new Various Artists compilation, opening with an exclusive track by Alexander Kowalski. (Digital Anhedonia) delivers a vibrant electro journey built around expressive string-like chords, evolving pads, and a narrative progression unmistakably rooted in Kowalskis signature sound. A vocoder-driven vocal lifts the atmosphere even higher, while playful melodic keys add a subtle touch of fantasy, giving the track its unique emotional color. The second track, (Better Way) by The Hacker & Neon Electronics, arrives in a freshly remastered 2025 version originally released in 2009. This cut carries The Hackers unmistakable imprint: a driving electro rhythm, a tight and punchy bassline, and flashes of white-noise bursts striking through the introduction like lightning. Neon Electronics, with Dirk Da Davos vocal also known for his work as part of The Neon Judgement brings a timeless, almost haunting dimension, reinforcing the raw and powerful energy radiating from the track. Closing the compilation, (You See) by Dany Rodriguez blends electro, bass, New Wave, and Disco influences into a hybrid groove that sits between acoustic and digital textures. A warm, emotional bassline anchors the track, joined by pads and evolving elements that gradually unfold into a story of their own. Throughout the piece, evocative vocals by Alberto Gonzalez Rosillo, combined with the guitar-like keys performed in various forms by Manuel, Danys father, shape the tracks distinctive atmosphere, rounding off this VA with depth and character.
