Isolee - Yes Let

Waves of echo and reverb wash over the rhythm in Yes Let, Isolee´s contribution to Cocoon Recordings´ Compilation R, a dubbed-out track that marches along while dropping depth charges at every turn. The collection features music from other artists like Pig & Dan, Mano Le Tough, Ingo Boss and Eduardo De La Calle, exploring the different faces of deeper techno.

The July Mix, Pt. 1

This mix features some left-field tunes as well as proper techno bangers, so it turned out somewhat eclectic. Weird melodies get paired with massive kicks for a shifting and heady session, covering the many different faces of techno, as The Techno Chapter´s mixes always do.

Dubspeeka - Contras II

Bristol´s Dubspeeka is one of dub techno´s most prolific producers, with a constant stream of releases and remixes complemented by a busy touring schedule, making him a recurrent name in the game. His repetitive and hypnotic style has been embraced by labels like Drumcode, Get Physical, Crosstown Rebels, among many other major players. Odd Even released his Contras EP, a collection of five original tracks full of groove, echo and reverb that get into your head.

Ray Kajioka - 12 Hours

Reverb and echo take center stage in Berlin-based DJ, producer and live act Ray Kajioka´s 12 Hours E.P., released by MATTER+ Records. Dubby techno full of atmosphere and rising and falling cymbals, backed by a solid beat and subterranean bass. A real treat for those who love this kind of trippy, meditative take on techno. The E.P. includes 2 original tracks and a remix of the title track by Truncate.
