Back to the fold after a first contribution to Stil vor Talent's 2022-issued 'Rising' compilation, up-and-coming German talent Stefanie Raschke turns in her powerhouse debut single on Light My Fire, 'Dusk Till Dawn'.

Always on the lookout for "new sounds, whether they are samples or synths, to play around with and get inspired for a track", Stefanie brings the heat with a pair of brutalist rollers that bear all the hallmarks of her sound, all at once trenchant and oddly sensuous. Summoning "feelings of change and mystery of what is to come", her maiden solo drop flexes a much immersive dystopian vision, flush with Sci-Fi-indebted machine talk and proper face-melting plot twists, as told through her beloved arsenal of ARP2600, SH-101 and wide-ranging palette of Arturia plugins. Inbound for maximal floor impact.

Born from "a groove and some weird-sounding samples to create a vibe on which I could build the track", the title-cut 'Dusk Till Dawn' rushes us headlong into a blurry furnace of delayed keys, menacing sonar echoes and that far-flung tapestry of blazing, extra-terrestrial synthlines, transcending average DJ-friendliness to have us floating straight into Raschke's own fourth dimension without further ado. Pulling out a sweltering mix of loud and heavy bass seesaw, oddball robot vox, Stargate-ish synths and jagged drums on the prowl, 'Switch Up Time' is a homing, EBM-tinged tech weapon designed to overwhelm and subjugate all at once. Based upon that anthemic vocal sample she found while rummaging through libraries, the track unfolds its venomous steaminess with zeal and focus, geared up for any kind of action setting you'll throw at it - whether you look to channel outdoor festival crowds' energies or teleport a murky basement right up stratospheric apexes in a flash.
