Simina Grigoriu kicks off 2026 with ‘Drenched’: Uncompromising Techno on We Are The Brave

After a stellar 2025 that saw her dominate the charts with releases on Drumcode LTD., Terminal M, and her own Kuukou Records, Simina Grigoriu opens the new year by returning to one of her most significant creative homes: We Are The Brave. With the release of Drenched, the Berlin-based artist delivers her third EP for Alan Fitzpatrick’s esteemed label, further refining a sound that is as powerful as it is emotionally resonant.

The EP kicks off with the title track ‘Drenched’, setting a disciplined tone with rolling grooves and immersive low-end pressure. ‘Illusion of Ego’ follows, diving inward with multi-layered rhythms and ghostly vocal elements, while ‘Radical Changes’ closes the package with a relentless, propulsive energy that captures the essence of transformation through sound.

Reflecting on the release, Simina shares: "I’m thrilled about this new record and incredibly happy to return to WATB. The three tracks take different paths, but they lock into the same groove. I poured love, drive, and raw energy into what I see as pure dancefloor weapons. ‘Drenched’ pulls you into the depths, while ‘Illusion of Ego’ and ‘Radical Changes’ hit with direct, forward momentum. No compromises — just music made to move bodies and minds."

This latest outing reinforces Simina’s reputation for clarity of purpose and constant evolution. As she steps into 2026, Drenched stands as a definitive statement of intent, proving once again why she remains at the forefront of the contemporary techno landscape.
