Octopus Recordings label boss SIAN reunites with Chicago powerhouse Hiroko Yamamura, presenting a razor-sharp techno weapon built for peak hours and dark rooms alike. ‘Set You Free’ rides a heavy, rolling low end, locking into tightly wound rhythms and a vocal hook that channels Yamamura’s Chicago roots while amplifying SIAN’s signature stripped-back, big-room precision.

Raw, functional, and unapologetically direct, the track leans into classic no-frills techno energy—music engineered for dancers, not algorithms. Subtle acid flashes simmer beneath the surface, adding tension without disrupting its relentless drive. A pure, club-focused statement from two artists who know exactly how to command a floor.

‘Set You Free’ is available here
