Tjade – Voyager EP

Since making his debut in 2019 via ‘Koi Jaye’ – a stunning edit of a little-known Punjabi take on throbbing, Moroder inspired electronic disco – Tjade has delivered a handful of ‘must-check’ releases that showcase the growing quality of his throbbing, Italo and Hi-NRG-influenced original. The Voyager EP, his latest effort, may well be his strongest collection of cuts to date. For proof, check ‘Voyager’, a kaleidoscopic, synth-heavy stomper that channels the spirt of Hi-NRG and early trance and comes backed with a stomping techno-trance rework courtesy of Marlon Hoffstadt AKA DJ Trance. Elsewhere, ‘Shut Out’ sees him add 90s trance style melodies and synth sounds to a punchy breakbeat groove, while ‘In Contact’ is a throbbing Hi-NRG workout blessed with deliciously cheery electronic lead lines.
