Teho makes his debut on Purified Records with his two-track ‘Meteor’ EP – a stunning exploration of melodic techno’s emotional and sonic extremes. With a sound rooted in deep emotion and cinematic tension, the French producer delivers a masterclass in storytelling through sound.
Opening with the title track, ‘Meteor’ immediately immerses listeners in a world of swirling atmospheres and intricate textures. A standout synth top line cuts through the mix with elegance, rising over pulsing low-end and crisp percussion. Rich with dynamic contrasts and soaring melodic motifs, ‘Meteor’ showcases Teho’s ability to create tension and release with surgical precision – blending sweeping harmonics with driving energy to form an expansive, cinematic journey.
On the flip side, ‘Deep Down’ reveals a darker, grittier facet of Teho’s artistry. Anchored by raw basslines and taut melodic phrasing, the track explores a more underground dimension while retaining his signature emotional depth. Subtle layering and nuanced sound design add intensity as the track builds, delivering a club-ready cut that still carries his unmistakable melodic fingerprint.
Having carved out a unique place within the global electronic scene, Teho has earned recognition for his ability to balance powerful techno foundations with delicate, acoustic-inspired elements. With a catalogue that includes releases on respected imprints and three full-length albums, he continues to evolve as a visionary producer and live performer. With the ‘Meteor’ EP, Teho brings his multifaceted style to Purified Records for the first time, offering a pair of tracks that channel emotion, precision, and dancefloor power in equal measure. A compelling debut from one of France’s most innovative voices in melodic techno.
