Say What? number 157 brings us one of Czech Republic's fastest-rising Techno artists - James D. DJing since the early age and an on-stage regular with a strong grasp of technique and song selection, he is getting a lot of recognition with his productions from the global techno scene with tracks on labels like IAMT, Autektone, Agile Recordings and now he delivered a stunning 3 track release on Say What?

We start the release with 'Heartless' - a track afflicted by a sociological understanding of real pain and struggle. The huge rolling 80’s-inspired synth and the dark drums are in perfect synergy and literally take you down a spiral of darkness that grows and grows emulating a sense of anger, despair and insanity, all peaking at

the main drop with the raw saw synth

The second track on the release is called 'Existential' - a warm groovy piece of techno shows us that James is on point with his synth works and knows how to build up the tension in his tracks. The song is about life and existence being beyond good and evil, that we simply have to make the most of our short moment to exist and coexist for as long as we are here

'SH4PE-SHIFT3R' is the last track on the release and surely not to be missed on the release. The track is about adaptation and survival. The shape-shifter is another rolling beast on this release and takes on its main transformation during the main break - the big drop painfully explodes into its new form, dazzling the world that watches as it dances and burns exquisitely through the ages and wrinkles of time

Enjoy
