A glance at EGGER’s Instagram bio gives us a compelling manifesto of what the project stands for: “a pulse about escape, longing, and forward motion.” In fact, the Austrian producer and visionary champions exactly that, moving towards electronic glory with a great deal of kinetic energy and a keen nostalgic allure. ‘I Breathe’ is EGGER’s latest effort, his third single to date. While the track’s sonic quality has been greatly improved compared to its predecessor, the overall mood remains the same: brooding. dark techno and house goodness with a mesmerising twist.
What more could you wish for? Drawing inspiration from the 80s and the 90s, in particular from dark electro and minimal techno, EGGER is able to craft material that feels familiar and rooted in tradition, yet also leftfield and truly unique. It’s the perfect balance between inspiration and vision, a sonic formula that the Graz-based talent appears to have mastered so far.
Notably, this is not merely a dance record; instead, it carries a great deal of emotional charge, helping listeners embrace aural catharsis. As we are told: “The lyrics reflect the passing of thoughts and moments, the fragile balance between irritation and serenity. The passage ‘Life… no goal, just direction’ is particularly powerful: it lends the track a philosophical depth that harmonises perfectly with the minimalist sound architecture.” ‘I Breathe’ finds its purpose both in hypnotic dancing and introspective reflection.
