With “Liftoff”, the techno and trance project Roughage, led by Andreas Kettenbach, presents an energetic single that has its roots deeply embedded in the rave and trance culture of the late 1990s. Released on the legendary label Time Unlimited, the track blends classic influences with modern production, bridging the gap between nostalgic spirit and contemporary club aesthetics.
For many years, Roughage has been synonymous with uncompromising electronic music that blends driving rhythms, hypnotic synthesizer sequences, and melodic depth. “Liftoff” also stays true to this signature sound, delivering three distinct interpretations of a track crafted equally for peak-time moments, long club nights, and sophisticated DJ sets.
The title “Liftoff” brings the unmistakable character of the golden age of trance into the present. Powerful beats, dynamic builds, and atmospheric soundscapes blend into a modern sound that evokes memories of the great raves of the ’90s, while remaining perfectly tailored to today’s sound systems.
