Berlin-based techno artist, DJ, and Kuukou Records founder Simina Grigoriu returns to Volume Berlin Records with a new remix of Diana May’s ‘Ass Ass Ass’.
Her rework keeps the acid-driven energy of the original but takes it into darker and more hypnotic territory.
The remix combines heavy rhythms, acid-infused tension, and constant forward motion.
Simina focuses on the track’s core energy and reshapes it through her own techno sound.
Diana May’s Acid-Driven Techno
Diana May has spent more than 13 years working as a DJ and producer.
Originally from Russia and now based in Germany, she has developed a reputation for hard-hitting techno with strong acid influences.
Her releases and appearances have connected her with labels such as Bpitch Control, Diffuse Reality, and Dr. Motte’s Rave the Planet Future Prints.
She also held a residency at KitKat Club’s Electric Monday, strengthening her ties to Berlin’s raw and uncompromising club culture.
For Simina, the original track offers a strong foundation for her approach to groove, pressure, and atmosphere.
She avoids unnecessary additions and instead refines the track’s central energy.
This allows the tension to develop naturally throughout the arrangement.

Simina Grigoriu Builds a Hypnotic Groove
The remix starts with a deep and driving pulse. Punchy percussion and a heavy low end immediately establish its momentum.
As more elements enter, hypnotic rhythms and subtle textures create a deeper sense of immersion.
The production stays stripped back while maintaining its impact. Each element has room to breathe, but the groove never loses its forward push.
As the arrangement progresses, Simina adds sharper accents and new layers of tension.
These details increase the intensity while keeping the hypnotic quality intact.
Vocal elements and atmospheric touches also move through the groove, adding contrast to the heavier rhythmic foundation.
The result is a precise and physical techno production. It also reflects Simina’s ability to combine dancefloor function with detailed sound design.
A Balance of Energy and Detail
The remix highlights Simina’s approach to production. She brings together raw club energy with carefully controlled musical details.
Her work as an artist and label founder has often explored the space between hypnotic techno, powerful rhythms, and subtle emotional elements.
That balance gives Diana May’s original a fresh perspective without losing its uncompromising character.
From Berlin’s underground scene to international dancefloors, Simina continues to establish her own identity within contemporary techno.
This latest release on Volume Berlin Records delivers another focused statement from an artist who understands the power of a strong groove.
