OUT NOW ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS
Following the success of her 2024-released ‘Declare Me’ EP on Drumcode LTD, Simina Grigoriu returns to the label with ‘Divine Assignment’, a four-track body of work that captures her ongoing evolution as one of Berlin’s most precise and purposeful techno producers. Where ‘Declare Me’ was assertive and driving, ‘Divine Assignment’ feels more expansive and sculpted - a release that channels raw rhythmic energy through a framework of clarity, tension and spatial awareness. It’s the sound of an artist refining her identity while keeping the intensity that has always defined her sets and productions.
The title track ‘Divine Assignment’ opens with immediate propulsion - a stripped yet muscular groove built around agile percussion and fragmented vocal cuts that flicker through the mix like sparks. Its rhythm feels alive and alert, a study in forward motion that nods to early warehouse sensibilities while remaining unmistakably modern. ‘Layers Of Reality’ storms ahead with a relentless pulse, its fast tempo and intricate percussion interweaving like machinery in motion. Metallic shards and jittering patterns collide, propelling the track with kinetic energy that leaves no space untouched.
The EP’s third offering ‘Love Honey’ leans into groove and swing, its percussive flow interwoven with subtle melodic fragments that ripple beneath the surface. There’s a warmth to it - a sense of ease that contrasts beautifully with the EP’s harder edges. Finally, ‘Shatter Pattern’ closes the EP with lively, fractured percussion and a rolling energy that feels spacious and dynamic. Its rhythmic interplay leaves room to breathe, unfolding with intricate layers and evolving textures that keep the listener engaged until the last beat. Together, these tracks form a narrative that’s cohesive yet dynamic - four interconnected expressions of rhythm and restraint.
Across more than a decade of production and performance, Simina Grigoriu has cultivated a sonic signature that bridges physical power and cerebral detail. As the founder of Kuukou Records, she continues to champion forward-thinking techno while carving her own path as both curator and creator. ‘Divine Assignment’ stands as another marker in her ongoing trajectory - a release that reaffirms her technical finesse, artistic discipline and commitment to a sound that’s as driven as it is deeply human.
