Following the immense success of her highly-anticipated sophomore EP ‘The Ceremonialist’ for Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave imprint last month, Techno luminary Simina Grigoriu now continues her run of impressive ascendancy with another huge milestone in her ever-flourishing career.
Marking the 100th release on her own acclaimed Kuukou Records, Grigoriu’s brand new single ‘Iron Angel’ is another masterclass in high-impact techno that upholds all of the raw and driving sensibilities we’ve come to know and love from both Simina and her label’s impeccable output. Paying homage not only to Kuukou’s monumental journey but also to her daughter Rosie, ‘Iron Angel’ takes on deeply personal significance, embodying the spirit of resilience, strength and love that Simina so passionately champions.
Flawlessly executed, Simina’s refined techno cut is another prime example of both her technical capabilities in the studio and her growing creative flair. A tantalising fusion of hypnotic rhythms, alluring melodic patterns and subtle vocal chops, ‘Iron Angel’ epitomises the essence of Kuukou Records – fierce, unyielding and utterly captivating. As a monumental 100th release from the label, this fresh offering stands as testament to Grigoriu’s visionary leadership and the collective ideology of authenticity that defines Kuukou’s values.
