10 Ostgut Ton gems to celebrate its 100th EP release

Let's face it, if you're into techno, then you'll have no doubt been captivated by the output of Ostgut Ton. The German powerhouse is one of the finest imprints in the world and if you've been to Berghain and Panorama Bar you'll have experienced one of the greatest clubs on in the world.

The label has just released its 100th EP and the artists responsible are some of the world's most prominent names in techno, Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann.

One glance at Ostgut's booming discography reveals a whole host of electronic gold, with staple artists including Cassy, Ryan Elliott, Function, Boris and Tama Sumo, having all contributed some of their best work to the imprint.

To celebrate 100 tracks, we've picked 10 of our favourites. Here's to another hundred, Ostgut!

The Panorama Bar resident is known for his pacy DJ sets, so this jittery track would be perfect for him to unleash in Berghain's less aggressive room. It's still got a thunderous bassline booming throughout, though.

Included on his 2010 album 'The Traveller', this one's a dangerous mechanical churner from the German producer. Sure to be a lethal weapon on the dancefloor.

There's a real sense of muscle on this thanks to the hefty drum kicks, but the subtle underlying synths make it a techno beauty, as a opposed to a proper monster.

Marcel Fengler's been a regular on Ostgut since 2007 and 'Jaz' was released as part of his 'Fokus' album in 2007. Drum kicks skip along with vigour and the synths are soothing and hypnotic. It's bound to give you a 'moment' in the dance.

The title 'Thermal Capacity' alludes the temperature will be high on this 2014 release and it certainly is warming. With the breaking of waves audible, it's over six minutes of techno relaxation.

If you like acid, you'll love this. It's relentless from start to finish with the wonkiest of synths taking precedent.

Andy Baumecker and Sam Barker have released solely on Ostgut since 2010, putting out their first album 'Transektoral' in 2012. 'Schlang Bang' features on that, filled with a sleazy bassline, glowing pads and skittering percussion.

Don't expect an easy ride from any Kobosil productions. He puts the pedal to the metal for a high-speed techno lashing on 'Konvergent', perfect for a savage Berghain workout.

Taken from 'Berghain 06', a various artists release alongside Birds Two Cage and Patrick Gräser, Mark Broom's 'Vault 5' purrs and sizzles for its entirety, creating a powerful electric techno shock.

Steffi powers this one with a sharpshooting bassline and drops in some probing synth stabs and cruising pads for bit of ambience. She does the business and creates a real lush track for her 2011 album 'Yours & Mine'.
