• Raw, aggressive sound • Signature distortions and dark drops • Pushing Techno boundaries Dada Life’s label, “Crash & Smile,” is all about pushing the limits of EDM, never sticking to just one style and always delivering fresh, unexpected sounds. Alex Mueller & Kaoru‘s latest track, “Techno Drug,” fits right in, bringing a new twist
• The whistle is the king of the track • Blended with Revealed’s essence • Frenetic and energetic as usual If you listen to the drop of “Remedy,” it’s quite funny at first. It’s a whistle, like the one lifeguards use. Then, if you give the track a few seconds, the bassline kicks in, adding

Their joint effort culminated in “Take Me”, a stamina-laden Future Rave
