Andrea_andrea’s latest album, Absentia, as part of Virtua94, showcases her best work yet. Coming in at just over 55 minutes of runtime, I found myself rewinding and replaying repeatedly. The irresistible beats of Baltimore club, Jersey club, and jungle samples create a hypnotic melody and harmony that compel you to dance. My favorite single, Cellophane, starts as an unassuming pattern of percussion and samples but transforms once the kick comes in. Every coalesces around a perfectly danceable 145 bmp groove. The angelic chords over the top of the distressed rhythms and jungle breaks make me eager for the next project, and wish I was dancing at one of her live shows.
