Berlin-based producer duo, IMPORT EXPORT, return with a captivating twist, infusing Gabba and Eurodance for their new single, “Group Therapy”. Collaborating with Luxembourgish rapper, MAZ, whose powerful spoken word features throughout the track, together they add a layer of intensity to the mix. To contrast and complement this fervent rap, the chorus features softly sung female vocals. At its core, “Group Therapy” serves as a warning signal, skipping harmful acts and finding healing through shared experiences, where a night of pulsating music and like-minded companions becomes the ultimate form of group therapy.
The evocative lyrics of “Group Therapy” take listeners on an immersive sonic journey. It begins with gentle piano chords, gradually building up to incorporate soaring synths and explosive drums, intensifying the energy to exhilarating heights. Stefan Heinrich’s background in live instrumental performances, including playing the guitar, bass, drums, and producing, is evident in the cinematic instrumentation of the track. Meanwhile, Josi Miller’s expertise in DJing brings a fresh perspective to seamlessly blending elements of 90s melancholic drum and bass with electronic influences, making it a perfect fit for moments when darkness prevails.
Josi Miller speaks on the topic of the track, “I completely believe in therapy, but sometimes a night filled with endorphins on or off the stage at a festival also heals me when I let go of everything and become one with the crowd.”
