If the dancefloor has a dark night of the soul, it sounds something like ‘Controlling Me’. SIAN’s latest on Octopus Recordings arrives like a reckoning – a slab of acid-soaked groove that feels like watching a storm roll in from the wrong side of midnight. This is dancefloor music in its raw form – precise, unnerving, and deeply satisfying in the way that only truly committed club music can be.

‘Controlling Me’ is available here.
