Techno music

Hardware gods unite: Simon Heartfield strips it back to raw, computerless live techno—Elektron, Korg, and Soma Labs colliding off the mixing desk in real time. EKT brings "thinking man's dance music" with a collection of remixes, mashups, and dancefloor refixes, while ThirdTemple drives hard with Big Beat-laced electronica—best played loud. Cave - Return to Chomesh rounds out ThirdTemple's techno-indie electronica remakes, and Statik locks in with hypnotic, dancefloor-oriented minimal.
