Get on board with the tech house transcendence in Darth Athena’s Freight Train

Posted on 26 August 2024

After amassing over 25k streams since its debut, the momentum behind Darth Athena’s ‘Freight Train’ is showing no signs of slowing down.

The techno hit, which arrived on the airwaves on July 5th  thundered into the dance music scene with a pulsating energy to deliver a beat-driven masterclass in production. As the synths strobe light into the intricately textured and ominous in all the right places track, the slamming beats blister with swathes of bass, attesting to the meticulousness of the Atlanta, Georgia-residing artist and producer’s style, which couldn’t be more magnetic.

The sequences of euphoric entranced energy pull you in so viscerally that you can almost feel them getting under your skin as you become a victim to the infectious anthem which exemplifies old-school tech house vibes which are seamlessly synthesised with innovative sound design, making a pivotal step in Darth Athena’s journey as a producer.

Stream Freight Train on all major platforms, including SoundCloud.
