Floating Seals Era EP by Wirrwarr: A Techno Journey Worth Diving Into
If you’re into electronic music with a techno heartbeat, Floating Seals Era EP by Wirrwarr might just be your next obsession. Released in 2017 under the German label Nachtstrom Schallplatten, this EP feels like a late-night drive through neon-lit city streets—dark, mysterious, and kinda hypnotic. It’s not trying too hard to impress, which is exactly why it does.
One track that really stuck with me is “Void The C-Stem (VSK Remix).” Man, this one hits different. It starts off all moody, like someone whispering secrets in a dimly lit basement. Then BAM—it builds into this relentless groove that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. VSK clearly knew what they were doing here; the remix adds layers of tension without losing the raw energy of the original. I found myself replaying it on loop because it felt like there was always something new sneaking up on me—a subtle synth tweak or an unexpected beat drop. Honestly, it’s the kind of track that makes you wanna move, even if you're just sitting at home pretending to organize your sock drawer.
Another standout has to be “SF19.” This one’s smoother, almost dreamy compared to the grittier vibes elsewhere on the EP. There’s something about its pulsating rhythm that feels meditative, like staring at waves crashing against rocks but way more danceable. It reminds me of those moments when you zone out during a long train ride, except instead of zoning out, you’re vibin’ super hard. Weird combo, right? But somehow, it works.
The whole EP has this understated charm to it. Tracks like “Floating Seals Era (Original Mix)” and its Reggy Van Oers remix bring their own flavors to the mix, keeping things fresh without overcomplicating anything. And while some albums feel like they’re screaming for attention, Floating Seals Era EP lets its beats do the talking. You can tell it comes from Germany—the land of precision engineering—but it’s got soul too, y’know?
So yeah, if you’re looking for techno that feels both grounded and otherworldly, give this EP a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up losing hours to it. Oh, and fun fact: listening to this made me realize how much I miss dancing in clubs. Who would’ve thought techno could make you nostalgic for sweaty strangers and questionable lighting choices? Go figure.
