The track is “Just Feels Tight” by Fisher, an Australia-born music producer.
The sound arrangement is very simple, built around the beat and bassline, yet before you know it, you get drawn into its world as you listen.
It never gets old—in fact, that sense of being able to listen endlessly is one of techno’s strengths, isn’t it? Look, Fisher is even inviting you to “do aerobics together.”
IT’S A KILLAFISHER & Shermanology
When people think of jazz, many imagine something analog or acoustic.
While it’s true that much of jazz fits that image, there are of course genres that have evolved as electronic music as well.
Electro swing, developed by Parov Stelar, is a representative genre that mixes jazz with electronic music and has earned high praise in Europe.
“IT’S A KILLA” is a track that balances the appeal of electro swing with the charm of old-school house.
RedemptionFJAAK
FJAAK is an electronic music duo based in Berlin.
With a production approach that makes full use of analog gear, they’ve established a distinctive style rooted in techno.
This track is included on the album “FJAAK 011,” and strongly showcases elements of acid techno.
Its pounding beats and minimalist structure leave a strong impression, while vocal samples depicting societal turmoil create a frenzied atmosphere.
Released in March 2024, the song delivers the profound impact that is quintessentially FJAAK.
Be sure to check out the striking music video as well, which explores themes of inner journeys and self-discovery.

PURA VIDAHI-LO
HILOMATIK’s HI-LO, also well known under Oliver Heldens’ name, delivers a techno tune in PURA VIDA whose sequenced synth phrase is irresistibly catchy.
The track is built very simply: starting from the intro, the recurring synth phrase forms the foundation while the rhythm track evolves over time.
Notably, there’s a boldly executed mid-track break so dramatic it almost makes you think the song has ended.
It’s a perfect accent that keeps the track fresh no matter how many times you listen!
LET’S DO IT AGAINJamie xx
The xx, a British indie trio renowned for their restrained, minimalist sound paired with beautiful melodies and a fusion of diverse genres.
Jamie Smith, the group’s brains and a highly regarded DJ and producer, releases club-ready dance music under his solo moniker, Jamie xx.
“LET’S DO IT AGAIN,” released in April 2022, is his first track in about two years since 2020’s critically acclaimed “Idontknow.” It features a simple four-on-the-floor house beat, shimmering synths, and a sampled melody celebrating joy—an airtight, anthemic number refined through countless DJ sets around the world.
Considering it emerged after two years of the pandemic, its positive vibes feel all the more fitting.
