Some of my favorite tracks right now!!!

YO!!!!!!

Hey guys, I thought to get the ball rolling we could start track sharing!!!!

These are some of the most influential tracks I have heard and loved and learned from over the past year of diving into techno.

Nude Photo - Rhythm is Rhythm (Derrick May)


This track....  the syncopation says it all.... check out how he moves where you feel "one" and how he makes the phrasing feel unique each time by introducing loops and elements on different beats throughout the track...
AND THAT SYNTH SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i remember correctly this was one of his first releases, or one of the first releases that the clubs responded to really highly... either way. check out derrick may.  hes crucial to the history and innovation of the Detroit sound.


JUAN ATKINS (Cybotron, Model 500, etc)
"he invented techno"

this is his Sonic Sunset album
please check out this whole record one of my favorites of his model 5 sound
Especially Neptune.....
His patience is strong!!!!
You will know when the kick comes in....




also check out this House track, by a French dude named Mad Rey, not much documentation on him. he released an EP in 2014 and people speak about him with anticipation and respect. its a nice contrast to the detroit stuff...
Also Peter and I help shoot a piece for PBS Detroit Public Television on Juan Atkins focused mostly about Kraftwerks influence on him as a techno artist. I cant upload that rough cut publicly, but if anyone is interested, I can send the cut privately via email or something.
