Valentina Mora, known for their unique blend of tech house and ambient music over the past decade, has emerged as a notable talent in the techno scene. Their recent release, Hailstorm, is a 2-track EP on Hypnus Records, characterised by lush atmospheres and a departure from traditional percussion. The tracks evoke a sense of blissful stillness with a focus on sound design rather than rhythmic elements. The record exemplifies restraint and showcases deep, ambient aspects of dance music, creating an almost Balearic feel that captures both urban and natural environments.
