20 techno tracks that knocked 2016 sideways
Pure energy
Danny Daze 'Swim'
Speicher strikes again! Sven Vath has been smashing the crap out of this tune all year and understandably, it has that magical combination of power and drive with the kind of build up that teases you to the point where you are about to implode with anticipation... The arp slowly grows and grows and grows… and then it drops. POW! Game over, dancefloor destroyed.
Dax J 'Invisible Man'
Dax J has emerged as one of the heroes of the UK techno scene. With widespread praise for his releases, including Album Of The Month in Mixmag in March 2015, he’s kept up a high level of quality and consistency for quite some time. ‘Invisible Man’ is a great example of what he does; hard-hitting, groovy and mysterious with echoes of rave in its DNA. Tip of the hat to Dax, this crushes each and every time.
