Techno is hitting the electronic music scene this year with a BANG! Acts such as Boys Noize, Gesaffelstein, and NT89 are sweeping the world and taking it by surprise. Even though the origins of techno date back to the 1980's the mainstream has drowned it and held it down. Fast forward to today, kids are switching genres like a kid on add, this just might be the year for TECHNO. This post goes out to all that talent that is very unappreciated by the masses.
Mr. Magnetik is one of those people who are not recognized enough for the work he's putting in. Hailing from Belgium, his latest EP Forme Noire was released on S-File's own GND records. This EP is a barrage of techno stabs and shuffling hats that is sure to keep any dance floor going.
This next track is done by none other than Electric Youth Supremacy's founders Erick Solo & Sherdisco. Heavy techno artillery was loaded in the making of this track, it is immaculate. Anger has already gained support from the likes of David Carretta, Workerpoor, Sharooz, Dimeuhduzen, Rob De Large, Starkillers, Posso & looKas. Out February 25th through Circuit Freq Records.
Suatra is techno Count Coyu's own imprint, this label has been putting the underground scene on the spot with a lot of their releases. Kitties and the underground is what coyu is all about and he's not afraid to show it. At the moment there are 32 tracks from this label on the top 100 (7 which are techno), how insane is that? This Spaniard has risen to stardom and here at EYS we are proud to showcase the hidden talent most people don't see (and its right in from of their eyes). Here are some of my favorite releases to date check them out.
Carretta & Workerpoor have a dark unique french techno style that is very iconic in the scene. These two have worked with so much good artists including the likes of Louisahh!!! and The Hacker just to name a few. The synth work put in their tracks is impeccable, everything that comes out of them is pure gold, no exceptions! check out one of their newest tracks and mix tapes below.
Heavy heavy techno should be the name of The Japanese Popstars, these three have so much huge tracks its ridiculous. All the way from Ireland, T.J.P. took techno by surprise in 2010 when they moved on to Sir Richard Branson's own Virgin Records. These guys's music speaks for itself check out their latest installment Vision/Heavy Hitter with remixes from the one and only Sharooz and Coyu.
