“Turning Around” [ TechHouse/Minimal] by Sternenton from Switzerland offers an atmosphere of measured but slightly tense movement. The influence of minimalist approach is palpable in it, where sounds are precisely calibrated and strictly dosed.

“Kick” is light but resilient, with a short cut that gives the track transparency. It fits well into the mix, it doesn’t overload the lows, but leaves the right pressure. This is a typical approach for Minimal House, where every frequency is thought out to the last detail. The drum is combined with a barely noticeable sub. The sub is neat, without unnecessary aggression, it just supports the groove.
The moment of mixing styles is interesting. Sternenton introduces TechHouse elements – the same crunching percussion and gloomy loops, which give the track a certain gloominess. But if in classic TechHouse you can often hear an emphasis on groove and aggressive bass, here everything is much calmer and lighter. It’s more of an immersion than a danceable energy. The track is quite possibly geared towards after-hours or chill-out sessions rather than a prime-time set.
In the end, “Turning Around” is an aged track with a minimalistic aesthetic and a subtle groove that draws attention to detail and leaves room for reflection.
