Layton Giordanithe NY-based DJ and producer rapidly garnering recognition as a tastemaker in the techno scene, has released a new single, “Better Than U Thought,” on Insomniac’s Factory 93 imprint.

“Better Than U Thought” is a vocal-driven techno song characterized by a driving bassline, sharp percussion, acid-fueled synths and a captivating vocal that delivers an unforgettable hook. Giordani’s latest is yet another masterful blend of infectious and hypnotic elements.

Reflecting on the track’s creation, Giordani shares: “I was playing a Euro weekend in Amsterdam/Berlin, and I was looking to play a more driven techno set, but I also wanted a more sexy aesthetic, so I started surfing the web for vocals “I found this amazing slow vocal, sped it up, added an acid hook, and here we are.”

“Better Than U Thought” follows the release of “Freaks at Night,” which dropped on Adam Beyer’s Drumcode imprint in June, and a high-profile remix of Dom Dolla’s “girl$” the following month.
