Spotify playlist: 50 intoxicating techno tracks
A healthy dose of high-volume units
We’ve loaded more mind-altering music into our weekly updated Best New Techno playlist.
Featuring among the picks is a track of the year contender in the form of Skee Mask’s sublime ‘Routine’ on Ilian Skee Series; a haywire slice of chaos from Special Request’s impactful forthcoming Houndstooth LP; a darker version of KiNK’s new single on Running Back; and the Jekyll and Hyde meditative bassweight delirium of Minor Science’s ‘Volumes’ on Whities.
There’s also a jittering synth-driven Basic Soul Unit cut; a breaksy low-end cruncher with sparkling highs from Ryan James Ford; Perm’s ethereal textures on shtum; Cosmin TRG’s gurgling white-label flip ‘Electra’; a reformed Red Hot Chilli Pepper unleashing emotive acid; Alexi Delano and Butane combining on a wigged-out minimal groover; a breathless vocal-led number from Radio Slave's debut album; and Mark Broom exploring off-kilter Hood-indebted sounds.
Listen below and head here to subscribe to the playlist to keep current with the pulse of techno.
