STEFFI, SEPEHR — Drunk On Psychedeli(c)a

Steffi & Sepehr – Drunk On Psychedeli(c)a opens the Klakson Recordings KL-NR12 12-inch vinyl with a burst of fast-banging contemporary electro, a fierce psychedelic charge that feels both immediate and timeless. The collaboration between label owner Steffi and frequent partner Sepehr delivers a compact yet potent statement that sits squarely in the label’s forward-looking electro vein. Within the Klakson Recordings roster, KL-NR12 arrives alongside two same-day releases: D_Roots’ “Shapes of the Roots – Part2” (KL-NR11B) and Driven By Attraction’s “Last Days Of Innocence” (KL-NR13). Earlier in the year the label issued Negroni Nails’ “Slow Motion Drip” (KL-NR10) and Passarani’s “The Dot And The Circle EP” (KL-NR14), framing this EP as part of a busy autumn wave that balances experimental textures with dancefloor intent. Side A begins with “Drunk On Psychedeli c a”, a track that channels the EP’s title into a kinetic groove, setting a high-energy tone for the rest of the record. It segues into “The Hairy Otter”, which maintains the driving momentum while introducing a slightly more playful contour, offering DJs a smooth transition between peak moments. Side B opens with “Murder 2 0”, a darker-tinged cut that pulls back the intensity just enough to create tension before the final track. “DJ Veto” closes the release with a crisp, propulsive finish that reinforces the record’s electro core and leaves space for mixing into either deeper or more uplifting sections of a set. For Steffi, this EP follows a prolific 2026 period that saw the “HALF AN OWL AND A FULL MOON RISING” LP on Dekmantel (DKMNTL126) and the “Yours & Mine” double-LP on DESTEFSTER (DESTEFSTER002), projects that explored expansive, melodic territories. The current collaboration revisits the more immediate, club-oriented side of Steffi’s output while retaining a signature sense of timelessness. Sepehr’s recent work includes the “Fool’s Ovation” 12-inch on Kapsela (KAPS006) and the “GENESIS DOMAIN” EP on Dekmantel (DKMNTL103), both of which showcase a crisp electro aesthetic that dovetails neatly with the sound of this joint effort. In the context of contemporary underground electro, Drunk On Psychedeli(c)a offers a concise yet richly textured experience that reflects the label’s commitment to forward-thinking production. Its blend of aggressive rhythm and psychedelic flair positions it as a noteworthy entry among the 2026 releases that push the genre’s boundaries without abandoning the dancefloor. From a DJ’s perspective, the record provides four distinct tools: an opening banger, a playful follow-up, a tension-building middle cut, and a closing track that can be looped or mixed out of. Its tight sequencing makes it ideal for both peak-time bursts and more nuanced, progressive builds in a set. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent output and offering the tactile experience prized by collectors and DJs alike.
