Artist Spotlight: It’s Murph’s Set to Ignite PHXLIGHTS!
Eli Brown joins forces with HNTR as the two release their latest collaboration, “gimmE gimmE.” Harnessing the raw energy of the genre, the track arrived on February 28 via Eli Brown’s imprint, Arcane. With boundary-shattering soundscapes, unprecedented devotion and over two decades of experience Eli Brown captures techno’s rebellious spirit and brings it to life through this latest single. Seamlessly entwining their distinctive styles, the track immediately plunges listeners into the sonic depths of the underground as it entangles Eli Brown’s elusive and sinister sound with HNTR’s unapologetic playfulness. The viscerally addictive masterpiece captures the very essence of the movement that both artists are rooted in – saturated with darkness and grit with the burning sense of rebellion that is only satiated when listeners surrender to the music.
The track arrives hot on the heels of a massively successful 2024, that saw Eli Brown become the FIRST EVER techno artist to play at Rockefeller Center with a completely sold out show, the launch and sophomore drop of his streetstyle apparel brand, 92 Thing, as well as a constant stream of chart-topping releases – including TWO of Beatport’s Top 50 Tracks of 2024, “Crawling” and “When I Push.” Showing no sign of slowing down anytime soon, 2025 is set to be one of Eli Brown’s most momentous years yet, “gimmE gimmE” arrives as the first milestone as the sonic icon continues his upward trajectory – the year holds a plethora of monumental feats for the artist, including his debut Coachella performance – as the undeniable industry authority continues to ignite a seismic shift across the scene, entangling the genre’s edge with mainstream appeal in a way that’s nothing short of pure alchemy.
“Lots and lots of cash, super fast. Girls on Baby Bash, that sugar smash. Gimme some of that, gimme some of that!”
“gimmE gimmE” takes on a techno sound from the get go and features an unexpected twist. RAP VERSES! I was absolutely shook when Rome Fortune‘s flow took center stage and the beat formed around it. His smooth flow keeps up with the accelerating drums, bass, and laser beam synthesizers. The kicks are HEAVY and provide a foundation for the beat to warp around. The first drop brings us to a hazy techno wonderland, illuminated by revving bass and and rising sound elements. Extended frequencies ring out and echo over the kicks. Reverberating in and out of Rome’s flow.
“Riding through the city with something pretty. ‘Til I got plenty. It’s gimme, gimme, gimme.
The beat reaches new heights with soaring crescendos and rhythmic clicks. Immediately transforming into a wonky, tropical interlude and back again. The squeaks evolve into layers of bass that shatter the ceiling, backed by subtle splashes and kicks. “gimmE gimmE” breaks into one last techno drop before gradually fading out.
“gimmE gimmE” is another standout release by techno legend Eli Brown, as well as an effective introduction to HNTR’s sound. Rome Fortune’s deep voice and smooth flow blend well with the track’s elements. Bringing out the heaviness and/or melody in “gimmE gimmE” when needed. Rap and techno make an effective combination. They are both confident, in your face genres of music that are not afraid to get in touch with the rougher elements of life and sound. Bringing out the strengths of these two uncommonly mixed genres with excellent results!
“Working with HNTR was a natural progression – we’ve both spent years creating music that pushes the boundaries of the genre while staying connected to the pulse of the underground where our love for music was born. Gimme Gimme is a reflection of that – capturing the raw, unfiltered intensity with a relentless beat. This is a tack28 meant to make you feel, to make you move – just pure energy. I’m so excited to share it with you.”
