Sweet variety collection of Techno to get hot and bothered about... these tracks have been keeping me warm as the long cold Chile nights roll in....                                                          

Slightly mixed thoughts on including this one in the post - some classify this as Techno, others as Electro House - however because it was included on an album called 'The Definitive Techno Compilation' - i am pretty sure its Techno.  Its a fantastic remix, the duo have spruced up the originals punchy bass and tweaked the echoing space-synth to roll over, imparting a much groovier feel - this remix inspired me to buy most of Olivier Giacomottos' productions

Marek receives honorary title of hypnotic funk daddy with this dreamy euphoric groove. Driving crystal strings, a wavering bass line and of course the crooning vocals delivered by Fabian Reichelt who manages to impart solemn soul into the fresh techno. I love the gentle break before the drop.
Its a delicious production from a producer i had great hopes for in 2009 (see my post here,) he has certainly stepped up to the mark. I can only hope 2010 brings more Hemmann! His Left/Right EP will be available to download on the 26th April here

If you love deep & dubby Techno then check this out - 'Mekong Delta' was originally released in 2007  this massive production is a mix of dry drums, pulsing organ and frequent breaks. Its an essential piece of "big" techno, and one of my favorite rave anthems...was lucky enough to see this at Melt 2008 where it just tore the dance floor to shreds

DJ Madskillz is one of the most respected DJs in the Netherlands he boasts a discography over 90 productions,  not to mention a huge list of remixes, i enjoy his work. With his 2010 remix 'Mr Bean Does an E' he audiolizes the fantastic title by bringing a huge amount of energy into this remix, jumping it up with a pumping beat…. this is a fantastic tech house track that bears little resemblance to the original... best thing to come from the commercial clubbing giant Ministry of Sound since, well...ever!

Some great whomping Techno, from my choice duo 'Moonbeam'  - rapid bright plucked strings, a cold spacey synth, shimmering bass lines and soaring breakdown, a really pleasant atmospheric Techno melody...get it here
