The techno weapon “Late At Night” by Lilly Palmer and Maddix is primal; it doesn’t just play in clubs; it owns them.
This is a clash of two different but complementary forces. Maddix delivers the ecstatic builds that cause crowds to lose themselves in collective euphoria, which are his trademark festival-destroying intensity. Palmer adds her dark edge and surgical precision, the kind of techno that talks straight to your nervous system and breaks through noise.
Their usage of the Audio Bullies’ “We Don’t Care” sample, which has its own weight in the history of electronic music, is what makes them so brilliant. They’ve rebuilt it and transformed it into something that respects the original while taking it to new heights. Taking a well-loved classic and turning it hazardous once more is a reverent revolt.

The reception of the track speaks for itself. You can tell it has that unadulterated, uncompromising edge that sets genuine techno apart from its commercial brethren when Amelie Lens drops it. The track’s crossover potential is demonstrated by Armin van Buuren’s endorsement.
