Following up to his 2020-released sophomore album “Idiosynkrasia”, Tim Engelhardt reemerges on Stil vor Talent with his new single, “Firestorm”. Putting forth the widescreen poetic vision that has been flowing across his previous releases with an ever-fresh and adventurous approach, this Janus-faced new iteration from Tim fuses two distinct facets of the producer’s output – one darker, more subdued, the other out-there and solar.

Rolling hips with unabashed swagger, “Momentary” paves the way with a balanced mix of martial marching rhythms and floating keyboard melody tinged with a touch of Oriental chords. Slowly but surely hatching into a bespoke big-room churner as bars run by, the track offers moments of graceful escapism while steadily fanning the groove’s flames so the fire doesn’t go out, ever. Subtle yet grandiose, a piece of masterly executed electronics that definitely lacks no emotional power of agility.

Draped in opaque shades of neo-classical harmonics, blazing with poignant violins, folk-pop-laced vocals and next-gen synth wizardry, the lead-track “Firestorm” oozes an ambiguous mix of dynamic strength and spiralling melancholy. A suspended moment unmoored by time and space, this is music to shiver and dream your life away to, equipped with the right amount of bass and club-focused assets to have any dance floor zoning out in its own cozy bubble of nostalgia-fuelled resilience.
