Lerosa Returns With Blinded By Thinking on Assemble Music

Lerosa dropped "Blinded By Thinking" on Assemble Music this past weekend, the release landing as AS-31 in the label's catalog on March 16, 2026. The record marks another chapter in Lerosa's ongoing presence across techno and its adjacent scenes, arriving on a label that has quietly built a reputation for housing exactly this kind of work.

The release sits firmly in minimal/acid-leaning techno territory, the two strands that have defined much of Lerosa's output and kept the project in circulation among listeners who track the finer gradations between stripped-back groove and something with a little more corrosive bite. That intersection, minimal's restraint rubbing up against acid's insistent chemical fizz, is a specific place to operate, and it's one Lerosa has navigated with consistency.

Assemble Music's catalog number AS-31 places "Blinded By Thinking" as one of the label's more recent additions, a marker worth noting for collectors and completists who follow the imprint's sequencing as closely as its sound. Hipodrome, which covered the release, situated Lerosa within techno and the surrounding scenes, a framing that reflects how the project has moved across different pockets of the underground without anchoring itself too rigidly to any single corner of it.

For a producer whose work tends to reward patience, the title carries its own quiet irony. In minimal techno, thinking too much is often the enemy of feel, and the best records in the genre work precisely because they bypass that trap. Whether "Blinded By Thinking" leans into that tension or resolves it is the question the record itself answers.
