Sara Landry Unveils Debut Album ‘Spiritual Driveby’

Published

on

Hailed as the “High Priestess of Hard Techno”, each of the dynamite’s raw productions reveal ceremonial spaces amongst the highest of frequencies as she balances rebellious experimentation with ancient power. Equal parts a tastemaker and a provocateur, Landry is also the founder of the disruptive imprint, HEKATE. Now the Hard techno’s explosive it-girl Sara Landry unravels her highly-anticipated debut album Spiritual Driveby set to arrive on October 4 via her imprint HEKATE. A collaborative offering that transcends convention, Spiritual Driveby blurs the lines between the underground and the avant-garde, delivering a high-octane demonstration of Landry’s artistic duality and intuitive depth.

A sonic alchemist transforming hard techno sounds into transcendent experiences, Sara Landry is an irrefutable force captivating global obsession and overhauling the scene through her dark, driving and divinely feminine lens. Just as Landry is more than a DJ, Spiritual Driveby emerges as so much more than an album. The 12-track opus is a pulsating testament to the power of collective energy, one which unfolds as a visceral odyssey meant to feel both
intensely personal and universally shared.

A ceremonial experience where the sacred interplay of collaboration is as integral to the music as the sounds themselves, each track was produced alongside Landry’s friends and industry counterparts including the likes of legendary producer Mike Dean, Nico Moreno, Shlømo, Aaron Hibell, LEGZDINA, Alex Farell and even her personal hypnotist, Restorative Hypnosis whose mesmerizing vocals can be heard on the album’s prelude.

“This sonic offering was motivated and inspired by the notion that none of us are alone because
we are all energetically linked. Everything we do is interwoven and collaborative, whether we realize it or not. Every musical experience we’ve ever had, every show we’ve been to, every euphoric moment that echoes across time has
been a collaborative experience and a stacking of energies. The experiences themselves only manifest just so because of the energetic contributions of every single individual that is present. Similarly, these parties are only what
they are because of the energy everyone brings and the frequency we ascend to when we vibrate together.”
– Sara Landry

Through Spiritual Driveby, Landry doesn’t just ask you to listen – she demands that you participate, that you bring your own energy and release it to the tangling frequencies that vibrate around you. A vessel in which each track reveals a ritual in its own right; every beat is infused with intention, the brazen balance between rebellion and reverence. Amidst unrelenting force and thunderous basslines, Landry conjures a sense of convergence intertwined with profound conviction – Where the introspective intersects the expansive. A poignant reminder that music thrives on interaction and the unspoken synergy that exists in sonic unity on the dancefloor, Spiritual Driveby arrives as a collective sojourn that evokes communal chaos while simultaneously embracing the solace found within the highest of BPMs

“I want to extend a massive thank you to the artists I collaborated with on this body of work.
You are all so talented and I’m grateful we could create together. These sessions with you over the last 4 months have made me fall back in love with producing after 15 long months of writer’s block, and for that I am eternally grateful. Most importantly: thank you to you, the listeners, for it is only with your support that I am able to live this wonderful, creative life and have the privilege of spending all my time creating and playing this music for you. This journey has been the greatest joy of my life so far.”
