Hidden Treasures: Managed Anger – The Continued Story of Anger Management
Some tracks don’t just get buried – they’re songs that were never marketed. Not because they’re bad, but simply because there was never enough time. Managed Anger is one of those cases – and there are more like it, which now deserve to be added to the website. And what better moment to do that than when it has just been published by The Strive?
Originally a hardcore rave experiment from 2011, it sat there – festering in some dusty corner of a hard drive – until I decided it deserved a second life. Back then, it was pure chaos: a release valve for whatever frustration was swirling around at the time. But as the years passed, that raw energy was reined in and reshaped into something different. The 2025 version is no longer the unhinged sonic brawl it once was. Instead, I stripped it down, rebuilt it with the syncopated heartbeat of tech house, and layered it with the sort of restraint that only comes from a decade of both technical refinement and personal growth. The energy is still there, but it’s controlled – like a boxer who knows they can throw the knockout punch, but chooses to dance instead.
More importantly, Managed Anger is a personal statement – born from different kinds of frustration, reshaped into a form of anger management to avoid becoming too adult-centric. It’s not about suppressing the fire, but about channelling it into something that moves both body and mind. What once was an aggressive outlet now feels like a diary entry written in beats – a reminder that intensity doesn’t have to mean chaos. It’s a track that says: I’ve been through the noise, I’ve found the rhythm, and I’m not wasting it on shouting.
Both the original track and the new version are added to the playlist in this post.
