French orchestral techno producer Worakls teases studio album with new single ’54’

French producer Worakls may not be a household name for the US main stage contingent, but the deeply talented Parisian has been crafting orchestral dance music for nearly a decade with critical acclaim. Hot on the tail of his Paris protest-inspired single ‘Pipeline,’ remix duties on Armin Van Buuren’s ‘One More Time’ and his US tour, the Frenchman returns with the lead single off his forthcoming studio album.

’54’ is both an ode to the club of the same name and his daughter’s name — LIV — or 54 in Roman numerals. Far more textural and developed than Studio 54 disco of yore, Worakls stirs up something that can only be defined as French orchestral techno. It’s a genre and sound all his own.

Things open up on ’54’ decidedly minimal, a persistent kick and a wonky metallic synth leading the charge. But it’s when he introduces the keys and widens the sonic aperture that the production really comes to life. A gripping blend of cinematic strings collide with a unifying melody, a techno backbone, and a finely controlled orchestration. For those familiar, it’s a quintessential Worakls track — and one of the best yet.

‘54” is out now on Worakls own imprint Sonate. Catch him on his “Orchestral” Tour throughout Europe this September to December.
