JOANNES - Scorpio Season EP
JOANNES' "Scorpio Season EP" released under RFR Records on December 21, 2023, encapsulates an astrologically inspired cycle of growth and exploration. The EP's opener, "Feline" immediately immerses the listener in melodic Detroit Techno, tinged with 90s aesthetics and enriched with vibrant harmonies, marking it as a formidable summer hit. "Halfway Bliss" follows, contradicting its title with an offering of full bliss through seductive melodies and soft breakbeats. "Heavy Heart" elevates the tempo, featuring stomping drums and dubby echo patterns, embodying the essence of an open-air set opener. "Jacksons" dives into old-school techno roots, providing a toolish sound ideal for intensifying a DJ set.
Finally, "Tunneldingen" concludes the EP, a minimalist techno treat that perfectly rounds off this cycle of Joannes's musical journey. This EP, described by the artist as "High Energy Techno," is a testament to Joannes' ability to navigate different techno sub-genres while maintaining a coherent and engaging sound throughout. Each track, distinct in its approach, collectively showcases a journey through techno soundscapes, demonstrating Joannes' prowess in blending nostalgic influences with contemporary techniques.
