#38 Feat. Staff Picks in Techno (Peak Time / Driving)

Next up on VOLTA are Balthazar & JackRock - a duo who perfectly capture the label's core those as they deliver music that's as powerful as it is poignant. Heavy-duty club tracks imbued with passion and flair. 'Ethereal Drive' kicks off with a truly standout club track that melds disparate shades of sound and through adroit production, forms something that's equal parts dynamic and haunting. A pure, crystalline vocal decorates a barbed bass line that consistently rubs shoulders with a fierce, heavy kick. A bit-crushed organ drops in some murky blobs of sound adding to an otherworldly atmosphere before 'Space Crush' closes up with a big-room behemoth. A wall of industrial-grade sonics power forwards, one kick at a time before a synth line bleeds in, catching the listener off guard. Another unique contrast develops as rich, heartstring chords pull away from the stormy low-end and bloom into a warm embrace of a breakdown. Energy quickly builds, hammering back to earth with force, capping off another stellar addition to the VOLTA catalogue.
