Following the release of two singles, New York-based, multi-talented Chinese American DJ and producer HELANG has unveiled her ‘Lovers of the Unknown’ EP via her independent imprint Dauntless Records.
Ahead of the project’s ultimate release, the EP’s two preceding singles “Wise Devil” and “No One” are now joined by the hard-hitting addition “Black Angel” to curate a trio of techno tracks that exemplify HELANG’s well-rounded, burgeoning signature sound. As a body of work, the triplet comprising ‘Lovers of the Unknown’ demonstrates how Helang expertly weaves together the common threads between varying styles of techno-fueled dance music.
“Black Angel’s” piercing acid influences drive a sharp and sultry track fueled by a brooding bassline that seethes with deep, rhythmic poise across the track's measures. The capstone of the EP joins the indie-dance-inspired lead single “Wise Devil”, and slick, cheeky follow-up, “No One”.
Helang shares some exclusive insight with EARMILK on each of the 3 tracks from her latest EP – read her words on her latest body of work, and take a listen to 'Lovers of the Unknown' today.
“Wise Devil”
“Wise Devil is an indie dance-inspired techno song that I finished in 2 studio sessions. It is synth heavy, emotional, yet energetic which encompasses all the qualities that inspire me as an artist. I wrote this song about finding beauty in difficult challenges and establishing my ground in her world.”
“No One”
“I’ve always been a person with thick skin who speaks her mind, especially lately. When I came across this vocal sample, I just knew I had to incorporate it into the song. Next thing you know, I was building a synth bass and gated vocals around the powerful voice, which I hope people can resonate with in terms of being their most authentic and unique versions of themselves”
“Black Angel”
The name of this song and the lyrics in it speak for themselves. Life is about finding comfort in chaos and channeling our inner demons by redirecting them into something positive. As an artist I find inspiration in the good and bad, the beauty and also pain- in the end of the day, I still will be unapologetically me. “Black Angel” tops off the EP by delivering a boundary-pushing sonic soundscape to my audience.
