Layton Giordani Drops Captivating Techno Banger, ‘Better Than U Thought’

Layton Giordani, a rising figure in the techno scene and a New York-based DJ and producer, has just dropped his latest track, “Better Than U Thought,” under Insomniac’s Factory 93 imprint. Known for his skill in blending hypnotic elements with driving rhythms, Giordani continues to push boundaries with this new release.

Better Than U Thought” stands out as a vocal-driven techno anthem, featuring a relentless bassline, sharp percussion, and acid-infused synths. The track is anchored by a captivating vocal hook that echoes through the mix, making it both infectious and memorable. Giordani’s production seamlessly weaves these elements together, creating a sound that is both powerful and alluring.

Giordani reflects on the inspiration behind the track, revealing that it was born out of his desire to craft a more driven, yet sensual, techno set for a weekend of performances in Amsterdam and Berlin. While searching for the perfect vocal, he stumbled upon a slower vocal line, which he then sped up and paired with an acid hook to create the final product. The result is a track that not only meets his vision but exceeds expectations.

This release follows Giordani’s previous works, including “Freaks at Night,” which came out in June on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode label, and a notable remix of Dom Dolla’s “girl$” in July. Each of these projects showcases Giordani’s ability to innovate within the techno genre while maintaining a strong connection to its roots.

“Better Than U Thought” is a testament to Giordani’s growing influence as a tastemaker in the techno world. His ability to consistently deliver tracks that are both technically impressive and emotionally resonant is solidifying his reputation as one of the genre’s most exciting new voices. With this latest release, Giordani continues to demonstrate his commitment to pushing the boundaries of techno, while also staying true to the elements that make the genre so compelling.

As Giordani‘s career continues to ascend, “Better Than U Thought” is sure to become a staple in his sets and a favorite among techno enthusiasts. This track, with its infectious groove and unforgettable hook, is a clear indication that Giordani is not just a producer, but a visionary artist who is shaping the future of techno. Fans and new listeners alike can expect more groundbreaking music from Giordani as he continues to explore new sonic territories and challenge the status quo in the electronic music scene.
