20 techno tracks that knocked 2016 sideways
Pure energy
Noir, Olivier Giacomotto 'Reste' (Raxon remix)
Carl Cox blasted this out several times during his final run of Revolution nights at Space this summer. It’s one of those behemoths that career into a club, flattening the dancefloor and leaving its melody ingrained in the minds of all who encounter it. Soundtrack to the dawn of the apocalypse.
Function 'Low Lights & Trick Mirrors'
Found on his label’s various artists compilation (which took Comp Of The Month in our June issue) this is a jovial cut by NYC maestro Function. Layers of analogue chirps and bleeps dance around the top end, while sweet pads add to the beauty of this track. The beats are crafted with precision, giving this its knockout punch. A perfect combination of strength and beauty.
