Unleash your Wildest Flame 🔥
Drifting Embers is PETRU’s latest release: a hypnotic, mysterious techno journey into the night, capturing the moment we become night creatures, unleashing our untamed spirit as dusk settles, evoking fleeting bursts of light breaking away from the flames, racing into the open night.
Driving acid lines and grounding bass, the main title brings confidence to the dancefloor while 90s-inspired chords trigger raver’s trance-like state balancing darkness with playfulness.
On remix duty, techno veteran Alexander Kowalski delivers a fresh, dark but hopeful rework rich in texture and dynamic tension; while Ross Harper flips the energy with a playful, 909-driven remix that infuses the track with happy-crazy vibes and infectious rhythms.
Closing the EP, Prelude to Embers offers a cinematic, atmospheric journey perfect for reflection, while Drone to Embers provides a meditative soundscape for deep introspection.
For those who seek techno with mystery, movement, and untamed freedom.
Out 26th September 2025 on City Wall Records.
