Hey, it’s me again. Back with a new mix.

After my slightly emo message with my last recording, I just want to say—I’m still figuring out where techno is heading, and more importantly, where my place is in that journey. A lot of the melodic techno producers and DJs I used to love are drifting toward what I’ll call the Afterlife sound—you know, the trancy vocal-heavy side of melodic techno. Personally, that’s not really my vibe.
But here’s the upside: it’s also opening up new doors for me. In my previous mix, I included a track by Andhim—I’ve been following these guys for years. They always bring a unique blend of influences into their sound, techno, house and afro house. This time, I want to give some love to the crew behind Scenarios. The collective includes Emanuel Satie, Maga, Tim Engelhart, and Sean Doron. I’ve been buying tracks from Satie and Engelhart on Beatport for quite a while now. Their house-infused take on melodic techno and house really speaks to me. That’s the kind of sound that makes me excited again.
This mix also flirts with electro and hypnotic techno—just small touches to fit in the mix, but enough to hit a nerve in the best way.
What I’ve put together here brings all of that into one mix—balanced, intentional, and (I hope) seamless. Different subgenres flowing into each other naturally. At the end of the day, good music is good music. And this is the kind of techno I love.

Curious to hear what you think…

Greets,
David
