Paul Conrad’s latest release, ‘Odyssey’, out now on VANTA Recordings, is a cinematic slice of melodic techno that builds from darkness into light. Known for his ability to craft immersive soundscapes, Conrad leans into pulsing rhythms, expansive synths and oniric textures to deliver a track that feels both powerful and transportive.
The track moves like a story. A low, hypnotic groove anchors the opening, gradually layered with shimmering synths and atmospheric pads that expand the space around it. Tension builds steadily before releasing into soaring passages that carry an emotional weight. The progression feels deliberate, inviting the listener on a journey rather than rushing for impact. It is music designed for both headphones and late-night dancefloors, with enough cinematic depth to capture attention beyond the club.
‘Odyssey’ also reflects Conrad’s background. Raised on trumpet, orchestra and jazz before diving into the warmth of artists like Stephan Bodzin, Einmusik and the hypnotic grooves of Boris Brejcha, he brings instrumental sensibility into electronic form. The result is music that carries both technical precision and emotional storytelling.
With over 500,000 streams across platforms and support from key Spotify editorial playlists, Conrad has been steadily carving his place in the melodic techno scene. Releases on respected labels, including Einmusika, Aviary Recordings, and Dark City Music, have already earned him recognition from artists such as Pretty Pink, Nora En Pure, Korolova, and Einmusik. ‘Odyssey’ feels like a continuation of that rise, sharpening his signature blend of detail, atmosphere and rhythm.
Backed by a full visual campaign and a push into sync opportunities, the release is more than just a single drop. It is part of a growing vision where Conrad’s music functions as both club-ready energy and cinematic experience.
‘Odyssey’ cements Paul Conrad’s place as a producer who can balance depth and drive, creating melodic techno that resonates on the floor and lingers long after.
