After All This Time [CLIPP241] By Pina Tesla

After a year of releasing sonically raw bangers, Pina Tesla makes her long play debut on clipp.art with the release of “After All This Time”. Exploring a full range of techno shapes, blending hard house intensities with atmospheric IDM, ghetto-tek influences, and the occasional splashes of ambient, the album arrives as a labour of love for the Turkish native.

“Take It Back” is a heart-pounding reminder of post-hardcore energy, while “I Know You Think Of Me” and “Above The Clouds” are raw highlights of Tesla’s pulse-pounding versatility and vocal talent. “You’re the Only One” and title track “After All This Time” hit somewhere between modern Trip Hop and Dubstep, while previous cuts from her “Lullabies for The Clubs” EP such as “White Satin” roll fast on the abrasive edge between warehouse rave and cavernous techno. “Lullaby” dials up the rave atmosphere while infusing emotional undertones, creating a sound that is both intimate and powerful.

Landing in a truly unpredictable moment of our history, “After All This Time” places the Istanbul based artist among a minority of DJ/producers bursting out on the clipp.art catalogue in recent years by capturing our unconsciousness with a mix of lofi sensibility, hard beats, and electronic textures. But it is a work we feel set to stand the test of time, lighting the flame of yet another rising star in the deepest recess of techno music.
