20 techno tracks that knocked 2016 sideways
Pure energy
Monika Kruse meets Pig&Dan 'Sensation'
This is pure rave. The swirling synth riff that forms that foundations of ‘Sensation’ is straight of a Blackburn warehouse circa 1989. For that very reason it has the power to crush clubs and festivals the world over. Hearing this destroy the terrace at Space will stay with us forever. Wait for the drop… Simple, but highly effective.
Avalon Emerson 'Why Does It Hurt'
Rugged business from Avalon with her second entry in the top techno tunes of the year. This one comes from another dimension to wreck havoc on planet Earth. The beats stomp along at high velocity, while dirty, twisted synth lines and a warped female vocal clip both add an air of menace. Released late in the year, this one’s going to carry on smashing up 2017 and beyond.
