Melodic Techno

Sam Collins set a celestial melodic techno score in his latest mix, Orion

Posted on 13 October 2022

The up-and-coming Netherlands-based techno producer, Sam Collins, launched his latest meditatively melodic single, Orion, on September 27th. Strap yourselves in for a spacey trip through the extensively mythologised constellation.

Much like his eerily cold debut mix, Sam Collins’ sophomore release gently builds in momentum through the instrumental progressions after a dystopic ambient industrial prelude and pounding bass kicks which break into electro melodies that will become your new sense of gravity for the entire duration of this immersively dark mix which asks for no permission before it entrancingly takes over your rhythmic pulses.

Orion is now available to stream on Spotify & Bandcamp.

Get transcendentally high with Kuma Pop’s melodic techno drop, Ishq عشق

Posted on 7 February 2022

Euphoria breathes seamlessly through the latest release, Ishq عشق, from the Spanish, LA-based composer and music producer, Kuma Pop.

He evoked the melodic 90s techno spirit in the transcendently liberating track that goes so much further than appeasing your aural senses. Ishq عشق unravels as one of the most emotional and spiritual techno tracks that we’ve heard since, well, since we can remember. It scarcely comes as a surprise that he has held a residency in Ibiza clubs. There’s something intrinsically primal in his production style that is nothing short of transfixing. Between the massive beats, hypnotic vocal harmonies, tension-filled breaks and exotic eastern strings, few tracks will take you higher.

Ishq عشق is now available to stream on Spotify.
