#25 Feat. Staff Picks in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

London based label Natural Selection present their forthcoming release in the form of a 4-track 12 EP, courtesy of Annie Hall, entitled Atomic 20, ft. remixes from label affiliates Plant43 & Kodah. Born in Madrid, Annie Hall has been heavily active on the Electronica, IDM and Detroit circuits since 2007 and has seen her music released by the most highly esteemed of Electro labels such as Central Processing Unit, Delsin Records, 20/20 Vision, Detroit Underground, Semantica & more. She returns to Natural Selection, after releasing on 3 previous occasions since the labels inaugural release in 2021. Her track Panax Ginseng (NS001) gained support from some of the most respected DJs and producers worldwide, inc. Dave Clarke, The Advent, NULLPTR & more. Atomic 20 is a beautifully crafted Electro release that maintains venomous aggression, amidst breathtaking textures and ambience. Hypnotic pads spiral into the ether, contrasted alongside heavy kicks, deep bass and meticulously programmed percussion patterns. Annies eclectic and uniquely experimental style is fully evident throughout, taking the listener on an unpredictable, emotional journey, whether at home or on the dance floor. The B side of the release features two well-placed, club-focussed remixes of each original A side tracks; B1 courtesy of Electro legend Plant43, with his immaculate remix of Goji Berry. B2 courtesy of Natural Selection label head Kodah, with his virtuosic and powerful remix of Atomic 20. Natural Selection are well known for bridging the heavier spectrum of Techno, Electro, IDM, Acid, etc. with new, experimental style and form. One can always expect the most cutting-edge, hard-hitting, underground electronics via their releases and also their regular label nights, which have gained notoriety for daring lineups and extreme diversity in sound. After forming a close connection to Natural Selection in recent years, Annie has now cemented herself as one of the main front-line artists within the London based imprint.
