Sara Landry & LEGZDINA Drop Experimental & Explosive Track, ‘Pressure’

Out today is “Pressure,” the next high-powered hit off of Sara Landry’s highly-anticipated debut album, and comes as a full-throttle demonstration of her artistic range and boundary breaking vision. Fusing hard techno and hip-hop elements at breakneck speed, the track harnesses the essence of both Landry and LEGZDINA’s signature styles, creating an unexpected sonic synergy that is equal parts innovative and explosive. 

Debuting her own songwriting prowess, Landry’s collaborative lyrics infuse a viscerally addictive layer to the track’s blend of driving beats and explosive baselines. LEGZDINA’s commanding vocal delivery embodies the brazen, bold and unapologetic sense of confidence that “Pressure” emulates. Intrinsic to both artist’s divinely feminine power, the track arrives on Landry’s HEKATE imprint as a zealous testament to rebellious experimentation, capturing the energy of the “It-Girls” behind the track.

Converging the underground and the avant garde, Sara Landry is a sonic alchemist and captivating global obsession, transforming hard techno sounds into transcendent sonic experiences and overhauling the scene through her dark, driving and ethereal lens. Hailed as the “High Priestess of Hard Techno,” Landry has earned a cult-like following, amassing over 1 Million monthly listeners on Spotify and solidifying her positioning as Beatport’s no.1 best selling female producer in the genre, and claiming the title of the world’s biggest hard techno ticket seller, consistently ramming out some of the most prestigious stages around the globe including CRSSD, Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, and more. 

Landry just made history last month as the first artist of her genre to play the Tomorrowland Mainstage, setting new precedents and pushing the category on a global scale. Equal parts a tastemaker and a provocateur, Landry is also the founder of the disruptive imprint, HEKATE, which has seen releases from techno titans such as Nico Moreno, Shlømo, Charlie Sparks and blk., as well as more emerging talent in the category and Landry’s own creative endeavors. 

“Pressure” is a relentless track from start to finish. Musically and Lyrically. A high-octane techno rollercoaster ride with vocals to match. LEGDZINA’s energy can keep up with the that of The Priestess herself. A rare feat that does not go unnoticed. “Pressure” kicks off with a gasping call to action, pounding Techno drum kicks and a spidery loop. The kicks reduce in speed and split in two as the loop chugs along. Feminine gasps enter and exit the beat while the elements vamp up. Gorgeous rises appear as LEGZDINA begins her immaculate flow. The lyrics are full of confidence and bravado. A perfect outlet for the divine feminine forces at play behind the decks. Both artists know their worth here and demonstrate it through the intense beat, lyrics, and production. The verses are split apart by the infectious loop that transforms into a downtempo masterpiece.

Shortly before the 2:00 mark, “Pressure” quiets down for the first time in its runtime. Descending into a brief hip-hop bridge backed by the sharp kicks. Synths creep in and out of the bridge as LEGZDINA repeats “Oh, you love it too much,” emphasizing one of the lines with a self-assured screech. The beat bursts into a herd of bubbles before diving back into techno territory. It is fascinating to see the Soundcloud sound bar descend with the track seconds before. Robotic squeals twist and turn before dissipating. “Pressure” once again becomes a hip-hop BOP with sick 808s. “I know you like that pressure, right?” Kicks count us off as the bubbles morph back into the loop. Cybernetic squeaks go off in the background as the pressure continues and gradually fades out.

“Pressure” is an experimental masterpiece that stays true to the techno formula while wildly expanding on its capabilities. It is not easy to keep up with an artist of Sara Landry’s magnitude. LEGZDINA’s unique energy and flow are more than capable of running with titans of the genre and larger industry. The lyrics behind “Pressure” are empowering, self-assured, and often humorous. Sometimes contrasting with the dark, ethereal vibe that Landry is known for. The hip-hop spin put on this one is where the experimental nature is at its strongest. It is an effective blend that required great creative intuition to create. Which these two artists have in SPADES. Check out “Pressure” ASAP!
