“Techno is dead”
“Business techno has taken over.”
“The only techno these post-pandemic kids are playing is bullshit hard techno pop edits.”
We’ve all heard these sentiments over the past few years, and they’re enough to leave anyone thinking the current state of techno is pretty dismal. But are the traditional / classic strains of techno truly hopeless?
Finding good techno isn’t necessarily easy these days, but it’s not impossible. This First Floor piece takes a look at where the genre is at, and also sounds up a bunch of quality techno tunes that all dropped within the past six months.
The piece is currently available for free, but it’ll go back behind the paywall in 24 hours, so don’t wait to give it a read.
Techno might be in a weird place right now, but it’s still breathing.

hiyaaaaa. long caption incoming with my inner monologue, but the tl;dr is that my latest instalment of into the deep is here and if you’ve never listened to one before, i am 🗣️telling you🗣️ this is the one to whack on. hot, fun and sexy 💅🏼
you can swipe for the full tracklist w labels and I do plan to start doing dives into the tracks in each into deep mix also because these bodies of work are v carefully curated but I want to bring your attention to two tracks that i am obsessed with which you can find in the hour: firstly, @snakebite_616 ’s ‘hi-vis runner’ via @diffusereality - one from his ‘skin&bones’ EP which I am quite frankly obsessed with and will never tire of listening to - and secondly, @dr.rubinstein666 ‘s ‘Rubi’s Acid Spa’ via her new imprint @uppers_and_downers_rec . rubi has always been one of my favourites and kept me sane with her QTFM YouTube series during lockdown, and her music is just another piece of the stellar vinyl-only dj’s armoury. find the track around 33 mins into my mix, and the former track around 23 mins 🧜♀️
i do hope you enjoy, find it in the usual bio spot / my soundcloud 🤠 x
Huge THANK YOU @bccoberlin and @glenn.distinkt for showcasing and supporting my sound, so so grateful!! BCCO has been a go-to label for me for music for the longest time, so being able to release a mix with them had been a real pinch-me moment :)) feeling kinda boss rn.
The set has a selection of songs from artists that I admire deeply, go show it some love on soundcloud. Like, comment, subscribe, or else. Full track list on final slide x.
