Debut Album
Sara Landry, the High Priestess of Hard Techno, has officially released her highly anticipated new debut album, Spiritual Driveby, through her label HEKATE Records. This album not only marks a significant milestone in her career but also showcases her commitment to empowering women in the electronic music scene. Over the past year, Landry has emerged as a powerful figure in this genre, and her latest work is already making waves across the globe.
The Creative Process Behind the Album
The journey to the new album ‘Spiritual Driveby’ was both intense and transformative for Landry. Collaborating with an impressive lineup of artists for the new album—including Mike Dean, Nico Moreno, Shlømo, Aaron Hibell, LEGZDINA, and Alt8—she crafted a 12-track opus that reflects her artistic vision. In a heartfelt message about the making of the album, Landry expressed her gratitude:
“These sessions with you over the last 4 months have made me fall back in love with producing after 15 long months of writer’s block. I am eternally grateful for this creative journey.”
The new album opens with “devotion 396hz,” featuring vocals from her personal hypnotist, Restorative Hypnosis. This ambient introduction sets the stage for a sonic exploration that dives into the depths of hard techno. Landry describes the essence of collaboration within the album:
“Everything we do is interwoven and collaborative… Every euphoric moment that echoes across time has been a collaborative experience.”
Exploring the Tracks
The new album Spiritual Driveby features standout tracks such as “Prisoner,” “Heaven,” “Pressure,” and “Because They Want Our Seat.” Each song encapsulates Landry’s unique style—a blend of aggressive beats and intoxicating melodies.
“Heaven,” a collaboration with Alt8, is noted for its uplifting synths and bouncy kicks that evoke nostalgia for early hardstyle raves.
‘Veni Vidi Vici,” crafted with Aaron Hibell, brings a cinematic flair, transporting listeners into a chaotic battlefield before finding moments of solace.
“Speaker Freaker,” featuring Diøn, delivers distorted synths that are sure to energize any dance floor.
Fans have praised the album’s cathartic energy and engaging rhythms. One fan review highlighted how the album creates a sense of unity on the dancefloor “Every track feels like an invitation to lose yourself in the music and connect with others around you.”

Artist Reactions
Other EDM artists have also weighed in on Landry’s new debut album. Fellow DJ Charlotte de Witte remarked on its powerful impact:
“Sara’s sound is a breath of fresh air in techno; she combines intensity with emotional depth like no one else.”
A Statement Against Doubt
Beyond its musicality, Spiritual Driveby is a bold statement against those questioning Landry’s success and skills as a producer. In her own words:
“This album is my big Fuck You to anyone who doubts me. It represents unity through intense beats and dark melodies.”
Looking Ahead
As Sara Landry embarks on her ‘Veni Vidi Vici‘ tour this November, she will be playing tracks from her new album. This will take her across major cities in the U.S. and South America, Sara Landry continues to push boundaries in the electronic music landscape. Her notable achievements include headlining the main stage at Tomorrowland in Belgium, making her the first DJ to bring hard techno to such a prestigious platform.
