A gorgeous and soaring debut effort from Romanian techno producer Tao Andra blesses the Canadian RF label.

The title track Sola Fide moves with stealth on thick, rolling bass until lush pads gush out generously coated in esoteric vocal incantations and truly angelic atmosphere. The darker Prevail presents a fierce and menacing vocal over strong liquid acid bass, jacking techno machine drums and stabby chords.

The remixes of Sola Fide come from label owner Rennie Foster and Detroit transplant to Canada J Garrett. Rennie's take is emotive and melancholic with a deep, progressive techno ascetic while Garrett channels motor city expertise toward a warehouse friendly slice of authentic techno NRG.
