The Break upKode9
Steve Goodman, aka Kode9—the founder of the long-running label Hyperdub, which celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2020, and a pioneer active since the formative days of dubstep—has announced that his new album Escapology will be released in July 2022, roughly seven years after his previous work.
The track Torus is slated for inclusion on the album.
While evoking elements of UK-style bass music, dubstep, and garage, its meticulously engineered electronic sound carries the distinctive touch of a seasoned veteran.
Ringo (Miss Monique Remix)Lufthaus
Ringo (Miss Monique Remix), crafted by the Ukrainian artist Miss Monique, captivates our ears with a freshness unlike anything before.
The groove woven from deep drums, a driving bass, and ethereal chords conjures the feeling of a Berlin night.
By layering her signature melodic sound, she expands the spatial depth of the original and guides listeners into a new sonic realm.
The remix drew major reactions on grand stages like Tomorrowland Brazil, EDC Orlando, and ADE, surely enchanting those present with the energy it created.
Fusing Lufthaus’s vivid vision with Miss Monique’s sensibility, this is a must-hear for fans of melodic techno and progressive house.
Rhyme DustMK, Dom Dolla
Australian music producer Dom Dolla collaborated with American DJ MK on the track Rhyme Dust.
The song features rap laid over a track built primarily around siren-like sounds.
Its lyrics are quite distinctive, repeatedly using the words from the title.
That makes it easy to understand and sing along with, even for those not well-versed in English.
Also, be sure to pay attention to its message.
Understand feat. Brendan Yates(TURNSTILE)Mall Grab
Born in 1994 and originally from Australia, popular producer Mall Grab is now based in London and making waves.
He’s garnered major attention with the announcement that his long-awaited debut album, What I Breathe, is slated for release in August 2022.
This article focuses on Understand, the lead single from that album.
The track features Brendan Yates, vocalist of Turnstile—the cutting-edge, next-generation hardcore band from Baltimore—and fuses UK-centric beats like garage, grime, and jungle with hardcore elements to create a fresh new sound.
It’s a must-listen not only for techno fans but also for those interested in indie rock and post-hardcore.
Take You (Original Mix)Mark Dekoda
Many of you are probably looking for dance music you can enjoy and get lively with your friends.
In that case, I’d like to recommend “Take You (Original Mix).” It’s a track by the producer Decoda Mark.
The bouncy beat makes it an irresistibly pleasant listen.
By the way, the music video Decoda Mark released for this song has a strong narrative.
Watching it together with the track will help reveal the message embedded in the music.
I Can’t SleepOdesza
Do you know the electronic music duo ODESZA? They’re an act that many techno music fans are paying close attention to.
They were also recently nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 2018 Grammys.
They performed at Fuji Rock as well, so many people may have discovered them there.
ODESZA’s track “I Can’t Sleep” is a curious song.
Depending on how you interpret what “can’t sleep” means in the title, it can sound like a bright song or a sad one.
LaurenOden & Fatzo
Hearing the bassline—arguably the star of the track—and the languid female vocals without even looking at the title, anyone into not just techno but also indie rock will likely crack a grin.
Lauren by Oden & Fatzo, key artists on the buzzworthy French label Increase The Groove Records, is an edit of a song released in 2017 by the popular Canadian indie-pop act Men I Trust.
They nudge the BPM up from the more laid-back original while keeping the mellow vibe intact rather than going for sheer drive—a perfectly judged balance.
The original bassline already carries a distinctly contemporary funkiness, making this a highly recommended cut for both house fans and indie rock lovers.
