French producer Worakls may not be a household name for the US main stage contingent, but the deeply talented Parisian has been crafting orchestral dance music for nearly a decade with critical acclaim. Hot on the tail of his Paris protest-inspired single ‘Pipeline,’ remix duties on Armin Van Buuren’s ‘One More Time’ and his US tour, the Frenchman returns with the lead single off his forthcoming studio album. ’54’ is both an ode to the club of the same name and his daughter’s name — LIV — or 54 in Roman numerals. Far more textural and developed than Studio 54 disco of yore, Worakls stirs up something that can only be defined as French orchestral techno. It’s a genre and sound all his own. Things open up on ’54’ decidedly minimal, a persistent kick and a wonky metallic synth leading the charge. But it’s when he introduces the keys and widens the sonic aperture that the production really comes to life. A gripping blend of cinematic strings collide with a unifying melody, a techno backbone, and a finely controlled orchestration. For those familiar, it’s a quintessential Worakls track — and one of the best yet. ‘54” is out now on Worakls own imprint Sonate. Catch him on his “Orchestral” Tour throughout Europe this September to December.Worakls Orchestral Tour Dates:September 23 – Halle Tony Garnier – Lyons, FRSeptember 24 – Zenith Paris – La Villette – Paris, FRSeptember 30 – Zoner Bobyhall – Brno-Královo Pole, CZOctober – Hungarian Railway Park – Budapest, HU (SOLD OUT)October 15 – Zenith Nantes Metropole – Nantes, FROctober 20 – NDSM Warehouse – Amsterdam, NLOctober 21 – Rockhall – Esch-sur-Alzette, LUOctober 28 – Zenith South – Montpellier, FROctober 29 – The Dome – Marseilles, FRNovember 4 – Warehouse N7 – Tbilisi, GENovember 10 – Hall 12 Brussels Expo – Brussels, BENovember 19 – Hall 622 – Zürich, CHNovember 25 – Troxy – London, UK Dec 8 – Tanzbrunnen – Cologne, DE Dec 9 – Tempodrom – Berlin, DEDec 11 – Zenith – Munich, DETags: Worakls
