โHEAVENUSโ by ROMAN CIGI is his latest pressure-cooker techno weapon, as an inward-looking release, that shows how dancefloor euphoria comes as an escape from mundanity. Best known for his genre-fluid instincts and seasoned touch, the UK-based DJ and producer sharpens his focus here, delivering a melodic, peak-time techno track, purpose-built for late-night systems while still leaving room for reflection. Clocking in at a driving 130 BPM, โHEAVENUSโ aims to pull minds somewhere else entirely.
From the jump, the track throws you into an immersive, claustrophobic space. A hard-hitting, pumping beat anchors everything, while eerie electronic textures sizzle and rattle around the edges, giving the soundscape a cold, robotic tension. A dungeon-like darkness brings an intentional, and hypnotic stress to the aural field. As sharp buzzing drones creep in, the field widens and thickens, filling the air with unease and anticipation. Then, just when youโve settled into that fullness, those elements peel away, leaving you exposed in a stripped-back, intimidating space where the steady beat does all the psychological work.
What makes โHEAVENUSโ hit harder is its emotional framing. This is a state of mind. Roman Cigi treats the track like a personal sanctuary, an inner refuge from everyday chaos, and that openness invites listeners to project their own meaning onto it. The tension breathes, pulses, and evolves, as it creates a push and pull between strength and vulnerability.
That balance is echoed in the artwork too, as it showcases a steel-armored, winged figure moving between worlds, suspended in cosmic light. Itโs a fitting visual for a grounded and transcendent track. Fans of Enrico Sangiuliano, Anyma, and Adam Beyer will feel right at home here. โHEAVENUSโ is techno with teethโand a soul lurking underneath.
