German producer and DJ Thomas Helmich presents his latest album “Voyager”, which was released on March 14, 2025 via the renowned Harthouse label. With a running time of over an hour, “Voyager” takes listeners on a musical journey through deep, pulsating beats and expansive synthesizer soundscapes. The album promises a transcendent experience that explores the boundaries of melodic techno.
With “Voyager”, Thomas Helmich creates a musical adventure full of depth, emotion and futuristic vision. The album is available on all relevant platforms such as Beatport, Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Music. An interstellar journey that takes the listener deeper into unknown worlds of sound with every track.
The album “Voyager” marks the beginning of a journey into the unknown. The title “Departure” sets the first impulse, while deep basses and rising synth waves create an atmosphere full of expectation. Arpeggiated melodies spread out, the moment of departure has arrived. The engines awaken with “Boarding”, where driving grooves and metallic percussion trace the structured sequence of preparations for take-off. Each bar another signal that the earth is being left behind.
The acceleration is unavoidable, “Priority” takes the wheel and lets the energy flow unchecked. Pulsating synth stabs and powerful basslines create the feeling of moving forward at full speed, a feverish urgency flows through the room. But orientation is crucial – “GPS” brings structure to chaos, a rolling bass holds the course while floating melodies form like constellations on the horizon. Navigation that has become sound, searching for direction in weightlessness.
But then everything begins to blur. The title “Jetlag” sets in, and with it the feeling of drifting between worlds. Delayed synth waves and irregular drum patterns disturb the inner rhythm, space and time expand until consciousness itself begins to move. A brief pause follows with “Stopover”, a moment of reflection carried by warm textures and gentle pads. For a moment, everything hovers in silent balance before the journey continues.
Letting go begins with “Escapism”. A hypnotic beat pulls you deeper, past and future merge into a weightless unity. The here and now becomes a point of endless possibilities. But at some point, reality calls back – “Depressure” announces the return, heavy basses and low-frequency synth drones initiate the descent, methodical rhythms suggest the direction. Gravity returns, inexorably.
Then comes the turning point. “Odyssey” unfolds as an emotional culmination of the journey, with soaring melodies and dynamic shifts accompanying the sense of profound change. Transformation is inevitable before the gaze turns outwards once more. “Europe Express” brings pulsating sequences and machine rhythms, a tribute to the past and a bridge to the future. An echo from another time that pulsates in the present.
Finally, “Arrival” begins. Gentle synths glide into the foreground, the beat becomes a constant that brings the ground back underfoot. But nothing is as it was. The journey may be over, but its echo lingers on for a long time – like a memory that can no longer be let go.
Each of the eleven tracks acts as a waypoint on this expedition and tells a story of departure, movement, transformation and arrival. “Voyager” is more than just an album; it is an interstellar experience that takes the listener into unknown musical dimensions.
