With AO, Seoul-based producer and DJ Lipsleek has created a techno cut that feels tailor-made for peak-time festival madness, yet it carries a conceptual weight that elevates it far beyond the usual dancefloor fodder. Standing for Alpha and Omega, the track embodies beginnings and endings. In just two and a half minutes, three and a half in its extended mix, the artist distills the essence of rave culture into a sonic experience that feels both primal and futuristic.

The opening seconds immediately set the tone featuring throbbing basslines pulsing forward with unwavering momentum, pulling listeners into the track’s gravitational field. From there, euphoric melodies rise out of the shadows, swirling like neon lights. The tension-and-release structure hits with precision with these straight up cinematic builds that collapse into explosive drops. Hypnotic rhythms will lock you into a trance, then sudden moments of brightness that feel like a sunrise snap you right out of it. Every beat is meticulously engineered for maximum impact, but it never feels sterile.

What’s remarkable about AO is its ability to deliver sooo much emotion in such a short runtime. Many techno tracks rely on sprawling landscapes and repetitive grooves, but she proves that brevity doesn’t have to mean compromise. The compact structure ensures that every moment matters, every peak and drop feels essential, and the intensity never lets up. It’s a track that punches hard and makes you want to come back for repeated listens.

Unsurprisingly, Lipsleek has already been making waves in the international scene, and this release cements her as one of the most exciting voices in the global techno movement. Their sound bridges the raw power of peak-time techno with the melodic uplift of Future Rave, creating a space where underground grit and festival euphoria collide. For us, it’s a declaration that techno can be as emotionally expansive as it is physically demanding.

For listeners, it’s an invitation to lose yourself, to dance until you forget where the night ends and the morning begins.
