"Pulsation" by Adrien M: A Hypnotic Dive into Melodic Techno
Adrien M introduces Pulsation, a track that encapsulates melodic techno's raw energy and immersive nature.

Rooted in his rediscovery of the Waldorf Pulse 2 synth, the piece combines hypnotic rhythms with analog warmth to create a deeply atmospheric soundscape. “This synth has such a distinctive character; it instantly sparked the idea for Pulsation,” Adrien M shares.
Drawing from influences like Vitalic’s Poney Part 1 and Stephan Bodzin’s Infinite Monkey, Adrien M balances retro-inspired textures with innovative sound design. The Moog Sub 37 adds lush melodies and pads, while Serum contributes powerful basslines and crisp effects. Together, these elements create a sonic journey that feels both experimental and irresistibly danceable.
“Pulsation is about letting go and immersing yourself in the rhythm,” Adrien M explains. The track’s minimalist approach, reminiscent of OXIA’s Domino, allows each layer to shine, guiding listeners through an intricate yet approachable musical experience.
With its combination of emotional depth and club-ready energy, Pulsation represents a pivotal moment in Adrien M’s artistic evolution. “I’m proud to have captured something raw and freeing,” he adds.
Whether you’re on the dancefloor or lost in your headphones, Pulsation invites you to explore a space where music and motion converge. "I hope it helps listeners find their own escape," Adrien M concludes.
