Anja Schneider - If You Wanna Scream - Permanent Vacation

Deep, dark, and sensual as ever, Anja Schneider’s latest release is a complex entry that provides a comprehensive photogram of the Berlin-based artist’s sultry take on the dancefloor. Comprised of 3 distinct cuts, If You Wanna Scream is a centerpiece addition to Permanent Vacation’s catalog, further cementing Schneider’s status as an absolute force of nature in electronic music.

Opening the EP with the titular “If You Wanna Scream”, Anja’s vision takes shape as it edifies over a dense, throbbing frame that burrows inside, making its way as it follows a meandering blip. Chasing this leading light, Schneider uncovers a myriad of surging sparks and irresistible vocal flourishes as the piece comes alive in the depths before swaying synthetics perform dazzling alchemic wonders. Contrasting against the darkness for a breakdown in full-blown technicolor, “If You Wanna Scream” invites us to come as we are for one last throwdown as the piece blazes into the next.

Following up, the German producer presents us with the energetic “Woman In Chains”. Having been previously released as a single by Permanent Vacation, this thrilling cut is a bold counterpart that finds Anja behind a restless beat, racing in the dead of night next to tantalizing arpeggios that intertwine with sharp swells, creating the captivating connection that sits at the forefront of “Woman In Chains”.

Finally, the EP concludes with the luscious “Behind”, a unique piece of art that unfurls over a sensual bassline before a lush male vocal takes the wheel. As we cooly glide across the slick pavement, neon signs illuminate our journey, bathing us in their incandescent hue while we switch gears in style for a gorgeous rollercoaster, drifting into a future only Anja can design.
