andrew red hand: for my mother

Romanian DJ and producer Andrew Red Hand, who has been called "the Romanian Underground Resistance," has a long history of making Detroit-inspired techno and electro. "My Guardian Angel" features cowbells and coarse claps offset with rich, heartwarming chords and teary-eyed strings. "Never Be the Same" is a busy cut stuffed with arpeggiated bass, bright melodies, glassy chords, and plenty of reflective surfaces. "Shattered Soul" is awash with trilling glassy sounds, echoing melodies, and oodles of atmospheric texture over hurried techno drums. The somber "Mourning My Mother" features classic Chi-town percussion and drums weighted down by long-tailed pads and poignant chords.
