Arriving at heads-down techno from a spiky angle, Anna Hjalmarsson is just the kind of non-conformist that makes the PM+ series sweat. From a decade spent in the trenches of the Frankfurt scene, Anna’s trajectory is anything but production-line club fodder. So, when she does decide to throw down a pair of slammers, they bristle with the kind of explosive flair we love.

'Drive' rests on an unrelenting bedrock of 909 kicks and toms, all the better to carry the strafing hailstorm of synth vapours and fiercely oscillating feedback that rolls through to send your mind sideways. 'Play' sports rugged, jerky low-end and twitchy electro decorations that call back to the mutant machine funk of early 00s Berlin, but with a whole lot more meat on the bones. This is muscular disco deviance from someone viewing the mechanics of techno through a twisted lens, backed up by the kind of chops that come from years in the game.
