With “Angels Landing,” GRXTZ and C3SSA return to Palmlands Records with a powerful, dark and hypnotic club release that merges techno-driven pressure with the infectious groove of house music. Built for late-night dancefloors, underground club sessions and high-energy DJ sets, the track delivers an intense sonic journey that captures tension, emotion and raw drive in equal measure. This release marks another strong statement from Palmlands Records in its mission to push forward-thinking, club-ready electronic music.
From the first beat, “Angels Landing” pulls listeners into a deep, rolling groove carried by pounding drums, a relentless bassline and a haunting vocal performance that instantly sets a dark and mysterious mood. The track is designed for those moments when the lights are low, the crowd is locked in and the music takes full control. With its blend of techno pressure and house rhythm, “Angels Landing” bridges the gap between underground energy and functional dancefloor power.
A Dark, Hypnotic Sound Designed for the Dancefloor
“Angels Landing” is not a track made for background listening. It is a tool for DJs, crafted for impact, tension and movement. The production thrives on subtle progression, slowly building pressure and atmosphere until the groove becomes unavoidable. The techno-inspired drive gives the track a raw edge, while the house foundation keeps it accessible, groovy and danceable across a wide range of club environments.
What truly elevates the track is the constant balance between darkness and groove. The arrangement avoids overcrowding and instead focuses on space, dynamics and energy flow. Each element has a purpose, making the track extremely effective on large sound systems. Whether it’s a sweaty underground basement or a packed main floor, “Angels Landing” maintains its hypnotic grip from start to finish.
This careful balance of functionality and emotion is exactly what modern club audiences and professional DJs are searching for in today’s electronic music landscape. It’s not just about loud drops or fast transitions anymore — it’s about storytelling through sound, and “Angels Landing” tells its story with confidence and control.
C3SSA – The Voice that Brings Darkness and Soul
At the emotional core of “Angels Landing” lies the unmistakable voice of C3SSA. As a vocalist, harpist and recording artist, she brings a rare combination of musical depth, technical skill and emotional storytelling into the electronic music world. Deeply inspired by the sounds of 2000s Pop and R&B, her artistic roots shine through in the warmth, character and expressiveness of her vocal performance.
In “Angels Landing,” her voice becomes the guiding force of the track. It carries a dark, slightly twisted tone that adds mystery and tension while maintaining a soulful, human presence. This contrast between emotional vulnerability and cold, driving club production is what gives the track its hypnotic character. Her vocal does not simply sit on top of the instrumental — it is woven deeply into the arrangement and becomes part of the groove itself.
In her own words:
“I’ve probably spent more time clicking undo than actually producing. But somehow, here we are. I’m C3SSA and this is my messy little universe.”
This honesty and imperfection is exactly what makes her contribution feel authentic and powerful, adding a unique signature to the record.
GRXTZ – A Proven Force in the Electronic Music Scene
Behind the driving production of “Angels Landing” stands GRXTZ, also known as Max, who has steadily built a strong reputation within the international electronic music scene. With releases and collaborations such as “Moshpit” with Gabriel Wittner, “Chardonnay” with AKA AKA and “Together As One” with Droppix, GRXTZ has already delivered countless club and festival weapons that have resonated with crowds across Europe.
Beyond his GRXTZ project, his impact as a producer and songwriter is equally impressive. As the co-producer and co-writer of the global hit “Marble,” which has now surpassed 90 million streams on Spotify, he has proven his ability to craft music that works both commercially and artistically. This experience is clearly reflected in the precision and effectiveness of “Angels Landing.”
Every detail of the track is carefully engineered for maximum dancefloor impact. The drums cut sharply through the mix, the bassline rolls with a constant sense of forward motion and the arrangement evolves in a way that keeps DJs in full control of energy and tension. GRXTZ understands exactly how a record needs to behave in a club environment — and “Angels Landing” is the result of that knowledge.
