HomeTwo Shell
Even Four Tet has played their tracks—London duo TWO SHELL, already a hot topic thanks to support from big names, are at the cutting edge of UK bass music! Their release “Home” originally came out in October 2021 as a physical-only, limited edition on their own label MAINFRAME AUDIO, but now that it’s available digitally in 2022, we’re taking the opportunity to introduce it again.
Its high-speed breakbeats, endearingly playful synths, and a catchy melody built from boldly processed vocals sampled from CHINAH’s 2015 track “Away From Me” really stand out.
It’s a dance track with an indie-pop vibe—an intriguing and unusual balance that makes it truly compelling!
Mwaki (feat. Sofiya Nzau)Zerb
In the richly diverse techno scene, “Mwaki” by Zerb and Sofiya Nzau stands as a masterpiece that embodies a brilliant fusion of cultures.
Boasting overwhelming streaming numbers, it’s become a sensation on TikTok, where many people have mastered the choreography and are joining the hype.
Zerb brings a captivating sound that evokes the breeze of Brazil, while Sofiya Nzau expresses a traditional Kenyan sensibility.
The infectious rhythm feels delightful, and the exquisite vocal harmonies are sure to capture listeners’ hearts.
The lyrics, which depict the subtleties of romance, also stir the emotions of the audience.
It’s no wonder this cross-cultural track is taking the world by storm.
Miss Yousouthstar
Genres like techno, house, and trance have long had strong underground roots, making it difficult for them to gain mainstream attention until recently.
However, with the rise of short-form video culture on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, everyday listeners now have more opportunities to encounter electronic music through memes and similar content.
“Miss You” is a prime example of this trend—a compelling track that blends serious house with strikingly effected vocals.
Blackout (Original Mix)AIROD
Released on February 21, 2024, “Blackout (Original Mix)” embodies Aerodd’s pursuit of new heights in the techno scene.
Based in Paris, France, Aerodd delivers a track that channels the full force of his creativity and craftsmanship, pulling listeners into an intense yet melodic journey.
This EP is defined by a soundscape of thunderous, overwhelming drums and razor-sharp, laser-like synths, while a monster cut featuring female vocals shakes the human soul.
Each track offers a different flavor, promising fresh experiences for a wide range of techno fans.
It’s especially recommended for those who want to explore the depth of techno from a different angle.
Aerodd’s talent shines brilliantly here, making this a release no music lover should miss.
Up Down JumperBoris Brejcha
Standards of value in electronic music are truly diverse: some people find appeal and worth in unpredictable, avant‑garde structures, while others simply care about the quality of the sound itself.
The latter group, in particular, includes the well-known community of “bassheads.” This track, Up Down Jumper, is a house tune I’d recommend to those bass aficionados.
When you hear “bass-heavy house,” you might think of deep house, but that’s not the case here—it’s house where the drop is simply heavy, and that’s the defining feature.
StepDeborah De Luca
Deborah De Luca, whose popularity is skyrocketing in clubs around the world.
Her tracks are addictive hybrids of her Latin roots and dark, aggressive beats! Among them, “Step” stands out for its distorted kick that feels like it hits your brain directly.
The sparse clap and snare phrases that come in midway embody a “less-is-more” aesthetic, making the track feel modern and very cool.
It’s highly addictive—you’ll find yourself wanting to play it over and over!

Speed Trials On Acid (feat. Dan Diamond)Carl Cox & Fatboy Slim
This is a track released in April 2022 that marks a collaboration between the UK’s legendary DJ Carl Cox and fellow Brit Fatboy Slim, who achieved worldwide hits in the “big beat” genre and is well known even among music fans beyond techno.
Both are true veterans who’ve been active since the 1980s, yet surprisingly, this is their first collaboration.
The sound is an undeniable killer tune: classic four-on-the-floor house, a simple yet memorable piano riff, restrained vocals that don’t get in the way of the beat, and a vibe that even hints at big beat.
For those of a certain generation it will feel nostalgic, and for younger listeners it will likely sound fresh.
