Agoria - Baptême

Review by Yasheaka Oakley Owens

Alright, buckle up. Agoria’s Baptême isn’t just another electronic album—it’s a punch in the gut for anyone sleeping on Kompakt’s roster in 2015. This German powerhouse dropped something that feels less like music and more like a late-night fever dream you can’t shake off. Deep House? Techno? House? Yeah, it’s all there, but Agoria doesn’t care about sticking to one lane—he smashes through genres like they’re speed bumps. First up, the “Lucky Blue Eyes Version / Agoria Retouch”—this track is pure fire. It’s got this hypnotic groove that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. The kicks hit hard, but it’s that swirling synth line that really grabs you by the throat. It’s not perfect—it drags a little in the middle—but who cares? When it locks in, it’s like being spun around by an invisible DJ who knows exactly how to mess with your head. You don’t just listen to this; you feel it. And yeah, maybe Agoria went overboard tweaking it, but screw it, it works. Then there’s the “Original” version of Baptême. If the Lucky Blue Eyes remix is a wild night out, this one’s the comedown at sunrise. It’s stripped back, raw, almost skeletal compared to the other versions. But damn, does it have soul. The bassline thumps along like a heartbeat, steady and unrelenting, while these delicate melodies float above it like smoke rings. It’s haunting as hell, and if you’re not careful, it’ll leave you staring out a window wondering where your life went wrong. Or right. Hard to tell. The rest of the album? Solid, but those two tracks are the ones I keep coming back to. They’re polar opposites—one chaotic, one serene—but both slap harder than most stuff from 2015. Honestly, it’s weird how Agoria pulls off making something so minimal yet so heavy. Like, what is this? A baptism or a beating? Here’s the kicker: listening to Baptême feels like getting baptized yourself—not in holy water, but in neon lights and sweat-soaked club vibes. By the end, you’re reborn, confused, and kinda pissed off because now you need to hear it again. What even is that?

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Baptême* by Agoria is like a deep dive into electronic music vibes. It came out in 2015 under the German label Kompakt. What’s wild is that it includes multiple versions of the same track, each with its own twist. You’ve got the "Lucky Blue Eyes Version," an "Original," and even an "Agoria Retouch." It’s almost like hearing the same story told in different ways—each one unique but connected. Deep house, techno, and house all rolled into one album. Pretty neat, right?
