New Tracks

Cocoon-style techno from the mid-2000’s that has all the drama, twists and turns that you’d expect and some real power driving it along. Does anyone make music like this any more?

Duoteque – Adyra

You can really feel the power on this Dettmann track, straddling the lines between techno and EBM, and I can just imagine this track taking people into a new kind of insane level in a proper techno club. Wow.

Marcel Dettmann – Mission

One of those tracks that passed me by back when it was released nearly 20 years ago, but is beautiful and charming in a pre-minimal kinda way, with water dripping down from the ceiling.

Jesse Somfay – Small Pebbled Forest

Quite a slow-growing track that meanders and throws out jagged pained sounds as it crescendos. Then is just quite a pleasantly off-beat drum track.

Ancestral Voices – Samhain

Quite a calming and beautiful techno track, that drifts over you.

Deniro – 700

I was just like, wow, Villalobos has still got it.

This reminds me of the remixes of Mari Kvien Brunvoll’s track from 10 or so years ago, hauntingly beautiful sweeping minimalism, with her matching vocals strung out, a powerful yet clacky and occasionally off beat. And 18 minutes of this wonder – I cannot wait for the vinyl to arrive.

Ricardo Villalobos – I’m Broken

Thomas P. Heckmann has soooo much energy behind his tracks – there’s a real punk feel, perhaps an anger to it too, albeit a middle-aged anger.

Alas not released on vinyl so I’ll never heard it at its true potential, but this is pretty damn awesome. As you might expect from Thomas P. Heckmann

Thomas P. Heckmann – So Schoen War Die Zeit

For a while I thought this was called, “Space, Time, Furniture” and I still sing it like that. And for a while you might think this is a gentle track, but it really gets into a techno groove, with a powerful bassline and that “space, time…FURNITURE”.

Portable – The Spacetime Curvature (DJ Qu Remix)
