by Techno Culture Magazine

Finnish techno artist Annie Hill unleashes her latest offering, the Exalted EP, on Denmark’s Hyggelit Records. A powerful statement of her signature style, the two-track release explores a dynamic spectrum: ethereal, melodic high points juxtaposed with driving, underground weight.

Exalted (Original Mix)

The title track unfolds with melodic elements and euphoric synths, gliding over a steady, forward-driving rhythm. Exalted balances emotional lift with underground tension—merging radiant highs with a grounded, pulsing groove. Hill’s arrangement captures both movement and mood, offering depth without sacrificing its raw, kinetic edge.

City of Telos (Original Mix)

On the flip, City of Telos dives deeper into raw, looped techno. Anchored by pounding percussion and resonant bass, this track is a propulsion tool—driving, raw, and hypnotic—perfect for late-night peak-time transport.

Why This EP Matters

• Label synergy: Hyggelit has embraced Hill as part of their forward-thinking roster, showcasing techno that thrives on texture and mood.

• Artistic maturity: From ambient peaks to dark propulsion, the EP reveals Hill’s command over dynamic range and emotional pacing.

• Dancefloor potential: DJs and peak-time selectors will find both depth and energy—Exalted for emotional uplift, City of Telos for raw endurance.
