DJ MARIA. & Audrey Danza join forces for new EP ‘Inner Call’

Released on April 8 via Proxima, the ‘Inner Call’ EP marks the first collaboration between Swiss techno mainstay Audrey Danza and Japan’s DJ MARIA..

The three-track release brings together two artists known for their distinct takes on techno and psychedelic club music, blending high energy with emotional depth.

Title track ‘Inner Call’ is the duo’s shared creation—a three-part sonic expedition that opens with a galloping rhythm and spirals into a flurry of hypnotic beats. Psychedelic textures swell in the second act, dialling up the intensity before giving way to a smoother yet still pulsating finale.

On the solo front, DJ MARIA.’s ‘Eye’ leans into expansive psychedelia. Layers build slowly, shimmering with cosmic resonance, leading up to a euphoric climax with laser-sharp synths and driving rhythms.

Audrey Danza’s ‘Ich Liebe Dich’ is a darker, more minimal techno cut. It begins with a haunting vocal whisper before dropping into a powerful, driving bassline. The track stays locked into a tight groove, with sharp synths and percussive detail that highlight Danza’s refined production style.
