THISBE Recordings returns with a powerful, club-ready entry through the collaborative EP “Hypnotic” by Pyrame and Semodi, featuring Maïlys. Built with the precision of producers who understand both the dancefloor and the emotional arc of minimalism, the record emerges as a standout tool for DJs navigating deeper, hypnotic sets.
Across the two originals, the duo operates with a tight sonic architecture: crisp drums, warm low-end, and intricate micro-textures. The title track balances driving tech-house grooves with stripped-back atmospherics, creating a slow-rising tension that pays off elegantly. Maïlys’ vocal performance—part narration, part immersive texture—anchors the arrangement with a philosophical undertone that makes the track instantly recognizable in a mix.
Mais Qui Es-Tu? ventures into more elastic minimal house territory, its bouncing bassline and precise percussion giving DJs enough space to layer and weave. The vocal fragments act as accents rather than leads, allowing the track to function as a versatile connector in extended sets.
The EP’s remixes massively expand its utility. No Hopes adds melodic drive and a more uplifting emotional contour, perfect for peak-time sessions. Orchid’s Goa Mix flips the script entirely, delivering a psy-leaning interpretation ideal for high-energy transitions or sunrise moments. Bruno Otranto’s rework of the title track, meanwhile, leans into groovy house patterns—warmer, funkier, and ready for stylish terraces or warm-ups with character.
Whether played from its digital formats or from the limited vinyl edition, “Hypnotic” offers a complete toolkit: deep originals, diverse reinterpretations, and a clear sonic identity that stands out in contemporary tech and minimal house catalogs.
