Max Brannslokker - Spanda

Here, have some nice german techno from Max Brannslokker, otherwise known as Sonopictorial, to whose music I would definitely recommend you took a listen.

Have a great day.

Mr Squatch - Please Squash

I discovered Mr Squatch's music with the track 'Regrowth' on the 'Up The Duff' compilation. It's been quite a long time and I never took the time to look further until today, when I stumbled upon this collection of Squatchtastic hits of 2008-2011-ish.

His musical style immediately made old memories come back to me, memories of a sizzling hot beach dotted here and there with a bit of shriveled trees, a big stage close to the water, adorned with an enormous sound system on both sides, shaped like a mystical swamp-dwelling creature, guardian of the primordial mojo. And the sound it made was so perfect, so typical, swirling and swinging, deep...

Please Squash takes its roots firmly on a solid base of techno music, stretching its electronic tentacles in all directions, from deep to psy to tech-house, with some discreet glitchy influences here and there.

Dedicated to those still looking for summer.

Hedflux - In Retrospect

Here's an album that is almost impossible not to like. Just pressing play means that you want to pump up the atmosphere, you want to dance, to move, to wiggle-jiggle, to make light come out of your friends eyes as you say to them "here, listen to this one, I found it on La Mojoteque, it's amazing".

You can also use it to test your sound system, so as to see if it can go the distance.

Hedflux is a london-based producer that specialises in what we'll call psychedelic techno with a touch of electronifying vibes and a twist of technotronic voltage power. To say the least, it moves, it bumps, it goes in all directions, and there is a great probability that you will find yourself doing the same thing in less than a minute.

Best regards.

Hedflux - Wanderlust EP

Sometimes I try and write a review of the music I share, and sometimes I may be doing good. But this time we'll just let the artist talk, because he's doing good in summarising his own material : Hedflux "started this project in 2006 with a mission to combine the rhythm and bass of nu-skool breaks with the hi-tech sonics of psy-trance. After much tinkering and perseverence, a distinctive new style began to emerge; a style which [he] thinks is best described as Psychedelic-Tech-Funk".

Well friends, how is this ? Do you not want to discover what is hidden behind this strange genre ? It is really the best description possible although it is a little slower than the usual Psytech rhythm, but there is also something strangely glitchy at work around here... I discovered this EP on Bluetech's Facebook page.

Eardream Music (VA) - Natural Intelligence

Good morning, I would like some psychedelic techno please. Yes this one seems nice thank you. Hmm ! Tasty ! It feels really like a nice blend of techno whirled and twirled a bit, with a foot on earth and the other in another dimension. And a little bit of tagada in the back, that is so nice thank you very much, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again ! Bisouzgerg.

Merkaba - Ancient Relics

Due to its seemingly easy robotic beat appearance, it is quite hard to find good Techtrance that is different from the great stack of boom boom music you will certainly find. You found some already, if you tried. If you liked Merkaba's album "Rediscovery", you will certainly appreciate these four tracks of groovy Techtrance.

It goes on and on...

Merkaba - Rediscovery

We're here tonight to celebrate the marriage of Techno and Psytrance, step forward, love each other, etc. Cold robotic futuristic trance shall be your children and they will bring joy to human ears and distorsion to human brains. Some people will call them techtrance, but as it is really a blend of techno and psytrance we will not create a unique tag for them, because we think they will please the former's lovers as well as the latter's.

Phew, that was awkward. Merkaba gives us a selection of early works, a very good blend of psychedelic trance and techno, a little glitchy sometimes, but not enough as this to be considered a glitch release. Sometimes I wonder if my english grammar is really that good. Well that's not the point here. And for those who would ask, no, this is no jewish music.

Edit : Techtrance it is. So techno seekers won't be whatthefazed and psytrance lovers won't be whatisthissed. Sorry if I keep messing things up.
