about

Romanian artist Tao Anra synthesises her hyperactive but sensitive personality into her music, playing from high energy to dark and groovy Techno. Her musical journey began in The Netherlands during her university years, following up with releases on 7Rituals, Kuukou Records and Kaligo Records. Tao now brings her ever-maturing Techno production to Victor Ruiz’s increasingly popular VOLTA imprint, with Ruiz himself joining Andra for a standout remix on ‘Gracias a la Vida’.

Kicking off with the title cut, ‘Gracias a la Vida’ dives straight into a flurry of racy grooves and blistering electronic musicality. Oozing with a blend of psy-inspired techno flavours from the outset - its fast-paced drums and driven hat sequences pave the way for an expanding platform of rifling bass notes and gritty synth leads that keep the energy at an explicit premium throughout. It would be criminal not to mention the captivating vocal topline that rears its head beautifully at the track’s most atmospheric intersections, making it a truly unique piece of music, capable of turning heads and capturing hearts on any dancefloor globally.

Victor Ruiz caps off the release with an emphatic spin on the original, electing a more traditional techno feel built around commanding kicks, sizzling percussion and ethereal nuances from start to finish. An archetypal stadium-sized peak-time bomb from Ruiz, bringing robust rhythms, cinematic-level musicality, celestial layers and another display of that absolutely stunning vocal.
