No Narrative, Just Listening: Ly Sas’ Dusk Dance [FIEDEL II]
Words by Nina Katashvili
You’ve heard it before: techno is meditative.
This track doesn’t suggest meditation, it enforces it.
There’s a familiarity to the sound that quiets the chaos in your head. For the duration of the track, processing shuts down. No multitasking. No narrative. Just listening. Those small chee-chee-chee repetitions, madness rendered calm, work their way into your nervous system. Therapeutic is an understatement.
On a technical level, the mix is immaculate. And that matters, especially now, when so many releases arrive sounding like no one involved ever stepped into a sound-engineering classroom; or worse, were mastered on a single speaker setup we’ll never hear. This isn’t that. This is precision and pure eargasm to listen to.
Fiedel’s presence in the techno ecosystem needs no explanation. What does matter is his decision to sign Ly Sas. Call Ly Sas a newcomer if you want, but this pairing shows that the door isn’t sealed shut with metal barricades. If you make something real, something good, it still finds its way through. At this point, credibility is what labels have left to offer, and this one delivers it.
“Dusk Dance” stood out to us, and it’s no coincidence it lends its name to the EP. The drums hit with physical force: you feel them in your stomach, like a swarm of tiny drummers moving in perfect synchronization, pushing outward, then pulling you downward, deeper into the gut.
This is the kind of track that makes your leg twitch involuntarily while you’re listening to it while sitting on a crowded bus late at night heading back from yet another all-nighter in Bushwick, cramping under a booth (because you know why), or standing still in the middle of a room. It bypasses context and goes straight to the body.
Wherever you are, it finds you.
