In Landry’s case, she looks for subtle touches in between the upfront elements of her tracks, whether it’s an offset to the groove at the back of the mix or a reverse kick accenting the thump of the lead drum. Most varieties of hard dance have moved in step with psychedelic experiences, as producers gleefully explore ways of toying with people in altered states. I'm not trying to encourage anybody to do that, but I’ve enjoyed exploring the life lessons, healing and active listening that can be taught through plant healing and psychoactive substances in general.” “When I make weird shit, I'm like, ‘how is this gonna sound to somebody who's high?’ because a lot of the audience is. “I definitely make stuff for the person who's two tabs deep,” she admits with a wry smile. The difference with Landry’s music is a tendency towards a more abrasive, industrial palette, but the intensity and imposing stature of her music makes it hardwired for big dancefloors and the heightened states they harbour. Landry’s approach, and that of her peers, calls to mind the harder-faster ethic of European hard dance scenes such as hard techno and industrial. I like to create the circumstances in which I do my best work, and bring that energy back in here." “It’s draped with these black acoustic sound blankets. “This is my studio,” she explains in the glare of her monitor screen. As such, it seems fitting that, during our call, her face appears on screen in what looks like a darkened void. Her style is proudly peak time, created with darkened clubs and nocturnal festival stages in mind. From knockout Boiler Room performances and her infamous warehouse events series KLUBHAUS to breakthrough releases and widespread support from artists like Perc, Amelie Lens, VTSS and I Hate Models, she’s made a name for herself championing playful and surreal flourishes amidst pile-driving, four-to-the-floor kick drums. It’s been a rapid rise for the Austin-based artist, who now sits comfortably at the forefront of the international hard techno scene. Landry’s music could step up to any busy construction site.
