Techno Tunes - Feb '18

Genesis EP by Estero & Tapiia delivers a feverish blitz of indie dance and techno. Featuring rather heavy club tracks, the EP draws inspiration from old-school psy-trance and analog synth textures, creating an otherworldly, high-energy vibe. With deep, rolling basslines and intricate, trippy soundscapes, “Lip Lock” is a journey through revelrous, retro-futuristic sound design.

Genesis

Lip Lock

BadWolf, Valmaiin, and Chris Korczak join forces for “Somos Fin,” a peak-time club weapon engineered for pure dancefloor destruction. Merging old-school minimal techno aesthetics with raw analog synth grit, the trio crafts a hypnotic roller that thrives on tension and release. A deep, pulsing bassline underpins the track’s relentless groove, while haunting, exotic Latino vocal inflections weave through layers of distortion and crisp percussion. The result is a high-energy, sweat-drenched affair that feels both modern and primal - a late-night anthem built for strobe-lit warehouses and underground after-hours alike.

Somos Fin

Gorgin returns to Octopus Recordings with “Operation Hades,” a relentless rave assault designed for the darkest corners of the club. A masterclass in high-voltage tension, the track fuses menacing low-end 303 grooves with an industrial wall of sound.

Have You Seen

A slow-burning descent into the groove, The Place is built on a foundation of slinking basslines, razor-sharp percussion, and a creeping crescendo. Third Culture & Cafius strip things back to the essentials—subdued yet insistent, like a whispered invitation into the night. At its core, David LeSal’s vocals act as both guide and instigator, weaving between the steady pulse with an effortless allure. His delivery is intimate yet distant, seductive yet detached—repeating like a lingering thought in the back of your mind. Roe Deers takes this mystique and mutates it further, warping the vocal into an eerie, spectral presence that haunts the off-kilter groove. It’s club music that exists in the in-between spaces—shadowy corners and neon-lit mirages, where genre and reality fracture.

The Place (Roe Deers Remix)

The third single from Sian’s album Chaos, Sian & Dark Heart’s “Blacklight” is a relentless plunge into the void, where Sian’s raw, industrial techno edge collides with Dark Heart’s pristine, cinematic soundscapes. David LeSal’s spectral vocals—equal parts ethereal and visceral—pierce the track’s churning, subterranean basslines like a solitary flare in a dystopian rave. The result is a primal, almost feral energy, precision-engineered for the nocturnal pulse of sweat-drenched dancefloors.

Blacklight

Pysh’s Find the Rhythm EP, out now on Octopus Recordings, is a two-track triumph that channels the ecstatic spirit of ’90s rave into a modern techno juggernaut, with Lesal’s electrifying vocals as the beating heart.
The title track, Find the Rhythm, is a pulsating anthem—its sinuous, groove-soaked bassline and crisp, kinetic percussion lay the foundation for Lesal’s voice: a soaring, adrenaline-charged throwback to warehouse raves, radiating pure, hands-up euphoria. It’s less about brute force and more about infectious momentum, pulling listeners into a hypnotic sway that feels both timeless and urgent.
That Groove, the EP’s second offering, doubles down with a deeper, funkier bassline that rolls like a tidal wave, cradling Lesal’s vibrant, rave-recalling vocal hooks amid shimmering synth flourishes.
Both tracks capture the raw, communal joy of dance music’s golden era while pushing forward with Pysh’s meticulous production flair.

Adam Beyer’s Drumcode juggernaut attracts more fans and critical plaudits with each passing year. Holding firm on its future facing ethos, techno’s number one label presents a new volume in its acclaimed A-Sides series with 20 prime tracks to signify its 20th anniversary. 

Such is the volume of quality music Adam Beyer receives throughout the course of the year, releasing all of it would be impossible. Enter the blue chip A-Sides series: a chance for the quality-obsessive label head to issue a collection of outstanding tracks that couldn’t fit in their regular EP release schedule. 

With an eye on future talent, as much as the label’s established roster of heavy-hitters, the compilation showcases the full breadth of Drumcode’s multifaceted techno sound, equal parts inspiring and functional. 

Led by the stealth techno funk of ‘Nine of You’, Beyer’s deft collaboration with Mark Reeve, the compilation takes in exciting highlights from big guns such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Dustin Zahn, Bart Skils, Pleasurekraft, Luca Agnelli, Jay Lumen, Kaiserdisco and Gary Beck. 

The rich vein of form displayed by emerging techno talent is similarly given prime position. Rising DJ/producer Boxia makes his Drumcode debut, fresh from a well-received warm up set for the crew at the hugely successful Junction 2 festival in London, while the likes of Enrico Sangiuliano, Juan Sanchez, Ian O’Donovan and Timmo also drop fire, establishing their credentials as some of the most promising talent breaking through the ranks in 2016. 

Reinforcing the global scope of the label, artists such as The Junkies from Toronto and Layton Giordani from New York, prove techno is winning a place in the heart of the new generation of artists coming out of North America.

The quality of Stockholm LTD’s 2016 output has been hard to top, with acclaimed full length ‘Isle of Real’ from label boss Pär Grindvik in May, followed by a split EP from Grindvik and SLOBODA label head Nihad Tule in September.

And the Stockholm born, Berlin­based imprint is right back with another lethal VA, ‘A Number of Thoughts’. Their 39th release combines contributions from Dutchmen Doka, Sinfol and Octual plus Belgian newcomer Phara, as well as Grindvik himself.

Doka’s ‘Hidden’ layers staggering, tribal percussion under sinister robotic formants. Label boss Grindvik follows up with The Order, where jagged waves of ice build and swell to a dramatic breakdown, to be broken against warm chords and deep harmonies.

On the flipside, Phara turns out 6 minutes of thundering, stuttering techno, while Sinfol and Octual round off the EP with ‘Signals’, as syncopated toms fire under breathy moans.

Adam Beyer’s Drumcode is growing from strength to strength, year after year, with a non-stop release schedule showcasing both the labels new and most established artists with cutting edge techno beats. After 20 years since its inception, Drumcode continues to push the boundaries, firmly grounding their position as the world’s No.1 techno label.

Drumcode’s youngest rising star, Layton Giordani, exploded on to the scene after his debut album “Where It Begins” back in February, after scoring some of the biggest festivals in Europe this summer, he now returns with an exciting collab titled “Live Again”.

NY born and bred, Danny Tenaglia has always been a true inspiration for Layton since his teenage years, so when the opportunity to collaborate with the fellow NY legend was on the cards, it was a dream come true.

Danny and Layton join forces for the lead track ‘Live Again’. Its deep and dark with a slowly building pad wrapping around a modulating synthetic hook. The dark and effected vocal echo takes the track into a hypnotic vibe.

‘Take It Back’ delivers a pumping drive the moment it fires up. Snapping percussive force and an infectious rhythmic groove will unhinge dance floors nationwide, whilst ‘Secrets of Vibration’ has a rattling, yet blistering low end presence to it.

The New Yorkers unite on this energetic and exciting collab.

Keys N Krates - A Beat Tape For Your Friends 

The project is all instrumental and pays homage to the beat tapes we love like Jay Dilla’s “Donuts” which has helped shape how we approach music in general. This is our take on that idea, made from our perspective. It's a good-vibe playlist you can put on with your friends to enjoy the summer and get outdoors after a long winter.
