Simina Grigoriu and Her Relationship with OFF Recordings
Ascended Masters follows her well-received Precision EP from September 2025, and it strengthens her ongoing connection with OFF Recordings.
She has contributed to the label regularly since her 2020 debut, Sandbox Wars.
This new project highlights her detailed sound design and her instinctive sense of tension, motion, and dancefloor flow.
The title track, “Ascended Masters,” opens with authority. Simina drives the track with a heavy bassline that pushes forward with tight, focused energy.
After a massive breakdown, she layers coiling samples around sharp percussion, letting them shift in small, evolving patterns that keep the track alive.
Light, spectral accents hover around the edges and create an almost ritual-like atmosphere.
The result is techno that feels both elevated and deeply grounded.
The second track, “Inner Alchemy,” moves into darker and more reflective territory.
Simina shapes a growling low-end that holds its power back, while crisp percussion cuts through the mix with clarity.
A slow-building melodic pulse sits underneath and gains strength as each layer locks into place.
At its heart, the track explores transformation—rhythmic, emotional, and energetic.
A swirling mid-section briefly lifts the tension before dropping into a heavy, rolling groove built for peak-hour moments.
She engineers the piece to shift the mood of an entire room, creating a sound that is immersive, evolving, and quietly explosive.
Across more than a decade, Simina has built a clear identity in modern techno: thoughtful yet visceral, polished yet driven by raw intention.
Whether she releases music on respected global labels or leads her own imprint, she continues to push sonic and structural boundaries.
With Ascended Masters, she ends 2025 with a bold statement.
An EP that balances technical ambition with emotional weight.
