🔥 Giving prime number pulses from Contact

Mix 006. This one is really special to me as it represents a sound I’ve been searching for as a DJ/producer/listener for a while. Too often in techno these days, the term “dark” gets mixed up with the word “hard.” In my eyes, they mean something very different. This mix represents my vision for the dark, driving techno I love to play and listen to. “Dark” techno, for me, accesses the full range of human emotion. Austerity and mechanized coldness mixed with fleeting moments of yearning and beauty. Not just grooves, but tracks with great melodies that suggest more beneath the surface. Put another way—dark, driving techno done right is layered and subtle, something that rewards you the more you listen. 

I’ve included a broad mix of tracks I’ve been feeling from across the decades. Thanks for listening. Link to the full mix in my bio.
