Decadance by Fer BR: A Tech House Banger That Still Hits Hard in 2023
Alright, let’s cut the crap. Fer BR’s Decadance isn’t just another electronic album lost in the sea of 2011 releases—it’s a raw punch to the gut that refuses to be forgotten. Released under Neptuun City (yeah, some US-based label you’ve probably never heard of), this tech house beast slaps harder than most playlists you’re spinning right now. And trust me, it ain’t about perfection here; it’s about vibes, chaos, and making your speakers bleed.
Let’s talk tracks because not everything on this sucker shines equally. First up, “Decadance II.” Holy hell, this one grabs you by the throat from the first beat. The bassline? Filthy. It grinds against your ears like sandpaper but somehow feels good—like scratching an itch you didn’t know you had. There’s no overthinking here; it’s straight-up dancefloor fuel designed to make people lose their minds. You don’t listen to “Decadance II”—you feel it. I still remember hearing this at some underground rave years ago, sweat dripping off the ceiling, everyone losing themselves in its hypnotic groove. If that ain’t memorable, I don’t know what is.
Then there’s “Decadance I,” which flips the script just enough to keep things interesting. This track is darker, meaner, almost like it’s daring you to step into its shadowy world. The percussion hits like gunshots, and the synths twist around each other like snakes fighting for dominance. It’s messy as hell, but damn if it doesn’t work. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why tech house was—and still can be—a rebellious genre. No frills, no apologies, just pure aggression wrapped in rhythm.
Now, look, I’m not gonna sit here and pretend every second of this album is gold. Some parts drag, and yeah, the production has moments where it feels dated. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. In a world full of polished garbage trying too hard to impress, Decadance keeps it real. It’s rough around the edges, unapologetically loud, and completely uninterested in your approval. And honestly? We need more of that.
Here’s the kicker though—listening to this album today makes me realize how much music has changed since 2011. Back then, tech house felt dangerous, edgy, like something only the cool kids got into. Now? It’s everywhere, watered down and sanitized for mass consumption. Maybe that’s why albums like Decadance matter more than ever. They remind us where we came from—and maybe even where we should go back to.
So crank it up, let the distortion rattle your bones, and ask yourself: when was the last time music made you feel alive instead of just entertained? Yeah, thought so.
