Mature EP by The Technotwins: A Techno Odyssey You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s get one thing straight—electronic music isn’t just about thumping basslines and glow sticks anymore (though, let’s be honest, those help). The Mature EP by The Technotwins proves that techno can have depth without taking itself too seriously. Released in 2013 under Portugal’s Naked Lunch label, this little gem is like the moody older sibling at a house party who still knows how to throw down.
Now, before we dive into specifics, let’s talk remixes. This EP basically takes one track—"Mature"—and spins it six ways to Sunday. It’s like they gave a bunch of producers the same Lego set and said, “Build something cool.” And boy, did they deliver.
First up, the Julian Brand Remix. If I had to pick a standout, this would be it. Imagine walking through a neon-lit alleyway late at night while wearing sunglasses you don’t actually need. That’s this track. It’s got an edgy groove that sneaks up on you, all sharp synths and pulsating beats. There’s something hypnotic about it—like when you’re scrolling TikTok and suddenly realize an hour has passed. You won’t regret hitting repeat.
Then there’s the Chris Hope & Andre Walter Remix, which feels like the rebellious cousin of the bunch. Where Julian Brand keeps things sleek, these guys bring the chaos. The drop hits hard enough to make your headphones tremble, but somehow it works. It’s messy in the best way possible, like ordering pizza after midnight or trying to dance sober. You’ll remember this one because it doesn’t play by the rules—and honestly? We respect that.
The other remixes hold their own, sure, but these two stuck with me. Maybe it’s because they balance each other out so well—one refined, the other wild. Or maybe it’s just that both sound fantastic blasting out of car speakers at questionable volume levels. Who am I to judge?
Looking back, what strikes me most about Mature EP is its versatility. Whether you’re DJing a packed club or zoning out alone in your room, these tracks adapt effortlessly. And isn’t that the mark of great electronic music? It doesn’t demand your attention—it earns it.
Final thought: Listening to this EP feels like finding an old mixtape in the bottom of a drawer. Sure, it might not change your life, but it’ll remind you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Also, fun fact—the word “mature” shows up in every single title here. Coincidence? Probably. But if anyone asks, tell them it’s art.
