10 songs to soundtrack the human race's journey to Mars with Elon Musk
To infinity and beyond
Maceo Plex 'Sparks Of Life'
Ah, here we go. Maceo Plex's 'Sparks Of Life' seems more of a space travel anthem than a techno maestro's surprise genre-crossing presentation.
The production's oscillating, beautifully expanding work explores a well of emotions and drama, it's true journey music with a heavy mid-plot twist.
Recondite 'Poised'
We wouldn't be going dark, vast and mind-bending without some Recondite.
'Poised' is that one deadly track you heard in countless techno sets around the world but could never get a damn track ID because it was just obscure enough you couldn't describe it quite right.
It's smooth and somber and perfectly minimal, just like a spacecraft floating quietly with an incalculable sea of shadows and faint, isolated gleams of light.
Adriatique 'Womb'
Adriatique debuted their own 'Siamese' imprint with the release of 'Womb', a devilish techno ballad proclaiming the label's opaque, provocative style.
The track is one to twist up your spine and bring a new breed of depth, a motion wrangler that ricochets straight against the tinging high-tech metallic aesthetic of our galactic crossing.
