Proper Techno



Here's another short mix for your listening pleasure. This time I've gotten away from the lighter tech house sound and moved onto some proper heavy techno. The standout track in the mix is Arjuna Schiks award winning Afterbelle. Released in late 2008, Afterbelle is the opening track of an EP bearing the same. Arjuna composes wonderfully progressive tracks that truly push the boundaries of techno, challenging other artists to escape the often formulaic sound of the genre. The latter part of the mix is dominated by Pig & Dan, a duo responsible for some of the best big room techno around. They produce dynamic tracks, ones full of peaks and troughs that lift you out of this world and abruptly return you to reality. The intensity is matched with captivating melodies that make for all together fantastic club tracks. Enjoy.
