Klub Theme is like trance techno. I’m not sure if that’s a thing but I’m digging it.
Schacke – Kisloty Forever
Einmusik, D-Nox – Einmusik / D-Nox
Overall great techno, smooth and melodic. I like the filpside with D-Nox better, especially Escape.
Evigt Mörker - Krona
For the first listen I was hooked on this. For the second listen I found it boring. It’s totally up to mood and state of mind, but it’s a good minimal techno album. Also it shows that it’s a debut, some way to go, but worth keeping an eye on.
Orlando Voorn – The Best of Orlando Voorn
It’s a mishmash of things around the house-electro-rave globe from a lifetime catalog. Two random notes. One: Playboy – A Paco Di Bango’s World goes to my hilarious house tracks playlist, right after Big Fat Head. Funny house is a thing, I’m slowly getting this. Two: Format – Solid Session is my favorite dancefloor anthem on this one, and it’s from 1991, gosh.
Oliver Koletzki – The Arc Of Tension
Deep-tech house with an ambient vibe. Soothing and conveying energy at the same time. Great for work.
Brandt Brauer Frick – Echo
That jazz techno, on the level I expected. Apparently acoustic techno is a thing on last.fm and the top artist is Brandt Brauer Frick. (The second one is Dawn of Midi, so now I’m intrigued.)
Kölsch - Fabric Presents Kölsch
Wonderful leftfield music. Created as an inspiration from flights, I love how this concept is there from the flow of the music through the titles of the tracks to the artwork of the cover. It’s a beautifully coherent piece of art.
Strangely I have an association between this and Kalkbrenner’s Berlin Calling soundtrack album, but that’s probably some kind of mood undertone that links these for me. Maybe becuase it’s summer now and both have this “late night walk with a warm breeze of air” feel to it.
Red Axes – Sound Test
The tune in Shabak Shalom gets me hooked like when I couldn’t listen to anything but Forget the Timing on repeat. Fantastic tech house.
Vaal – Nosferatu
I have the same feeling like when I listened to the latest record by FJAAK: these guys are rummaging in the bottom of their pockets and pull out stuff from the past, dust them off, and create something that I find fascinating. Vaal has these breakbeats that are like echoing the Matrix all over it, so much ’90s, blast from the past, but she still builds something atop that feels current. I love it.
Adriatique – Nude
It’s like IDM techno. Deep, melodic, atmospheric.
