Premiere: Simina Grigoriu serves ‘Coconut Milk’ on Drumcode LTD

Simina Grigoriu returns to Drumcode LTD with Frame Control, a four-track EP that captures the Berlin-based artist at her most precise and purposeful. Following the success of her previous Drumcode LTD outings, Declare Me and Divine Assignment, Simina once again delivers a body of work that balances raw physical intensity with intricate rhythmic detail, reaffirming her place among contemporary techno’s most focused and refined producers. Built around movement, contrast and carefully sculpted atmosphere, the EP explores the interplay between structure and release across four distinct yet interconnected tracks, channelling hypnotic momentum, sharp percussive design and immersive low-end pressure into a release that feels both instinctive and exact.

Today we are thrilled to premiere ‘Coconut Milk’, the EP’s second cut and a perfect window into Simina’s sound. The track follows the commanding title piece with more intense energy, balancing hypnotic percussion with warm, evolving textures and groove-led momentum. Beneath its driving framework lies a subtle sense of swing and movement, allowing the track to breathe while maintaining the focused pressure that defines her productions. It is peak-time techno with a craftsman’s attention to detail, rolling forward with confidence while leaving just enough space for the groove to truly lock in.

Across almost two decades of releases and performances, Simina Grigoriu has built a reputation for techno that is both emotionally resonant and physically commanding. As founder of Kuukou Records and a regular presence on globally respected labels including Drumcode LTD, Terminal M, OFF Recordings and We Are The Brave, she continues to refine a sound rooted in discipline, momentum and artistic clarity. Drumcode LTD, the sister imprint to Adam Beyer’s legendary Drumcode, has long served as a home for forward-thinking, dancefloor-driven techno, and Frame Control sits comfortably among the label’s most compelling recent additions.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Coconut Milk’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
