Hot on the heels of her latest release for Stil vor Talent, “Beide Alleine”, SKALA returns to us with her anticipated follow-up “Any Reason Why”. A decisively singular voice in today’s techno landscape, SKALA keeps on carving out her lane aside from typical club wares, injecting her floor-ready blends with a pop sensibility that infuses through all compartments of her sound, from EBM-derived muscularity to abstract ethereality, via sequences of mind-expanding dreaminess and a louder-than-loud, industrial-adjacent punch that make her truly stand out from the competition.
Fusing a straight-out martial groove with impeccably integrated piano chords painstakingly drilling their way across thick strata of raucous drum processing and layered machine thunder, the hair-raising “Any Reason Why” featuring Dominique Fricot’s velvety vocals encapsulates the greater part of SKALA’s signature synthesis of heart-rending melodicism and profuse amplitude of energy, continually counterbalancing force with scope, ruggedness with nuance. Support track “Dare” follows a similar course as it ushers us in the midst of a spiraling synth-feast tweaked to brooding effect, swells of modulated keys weaving their tortuous chassis alongside grim subs and aggro bass salvos to shape a monster DJ tool of a tune.
Release date: January 27th, 2022.
