Techno fans have something new to celebrate as French duo Cosmic Boys join forces with Atlanta-based Sam WOLFE for their latest single, “Luna”. Released on their own Legend label, “Luna” promises to captivate listeners with its dynamic grooves and haunting melodies. This acts as the follow-up to Cosmic Boys’ collaboration with Demon Noise on the single “Multiverse” and Sam WOLFE’s collaboration with T-78 on the single “Can U Relate”.
“Luna” stands out as a powerful techno track, characterised by its raw, driving drums that set a relentless pace. The intense synths weave in and out, creating an electrifying atmosphere that captivates from the first opening techno beat; prior to that, we have a build-up where a subtle beat countdown can be heard while the powerful vocals are spotlighted. The build-up lasts for an iconic 28 seconds, progressing intensely quickening the pace and bringing in more techno sounds climaxing into a huge electro drop that is set to go off at any rave.
The rumbling bassline provides a solid foundation, adding depth and magnitude to the track. The production quality is superb, with every element meticulously crafted to ensure maximum impact when being played at a festival or in a club. The dynamic interplay between the drums and synths creates a sense of urgency and momentum, making “Luna” a track that demands attention.
What truly sets “Luna” apart, however, is its incorporation of an alluring Middle Eastern vocal. This unique addition adds an exotic and hypnotic quality to the track, elevating it beyond a typical techno banger. The vocal weaves through the heavy beats and synths, providing a haunting melody that stays with the listener long after the track has ended. This blend of dark, aggressive techno with a touch of melodic and cultural influence showcases the innovative spirit of both Cosmic Boys and Sam WOLFE, making “Luna” a standout piece in their discography and a must-listen for techno fans.
Describing the collaboration, Cosmic Boys stated, “Our new collaboration with Sam WOLFE has resulted in ‘Luna’. A captivating and innovative track. Combining dynamic grooves, catchy melodies, and haunting Middle Eastern vocals, ‘Luna’ is the perfect fusion of our styles and offers a new and unique techno track.”
WOLFE echoed this sentiment, adding, “This is a unique blend between my style and the Cosmic Boys with a great Middle Eastern vocal to bring home this club banger.”
