As you might have already guessed, Tuesday is our favorite day because, techno. This week, we were feeling a little off-beat, drawn to dark sounds that may night be typical to your staple after hours asylum, but instead take you on a trip far beyond this planet. For this fourth volume, we’ve got a handful of incredible new tracks from the likes of Cirez D, BlackGummy, Enrico Sangiuliano, Dense & Pika, and Coyu and Reinier Zonneveld. Now, place headphones on and hold tight – see you on the dark side of the moon.
Cirez D – The Accuser
The one and only Cirez D, a.k.a. Eric Prydz’s darker (some say better) half, has finally released his first track of 2017 and it is utterly satisfying. Out now on his Mouseville Records, “The Accuser” is made up of hard yet harmonious drums strung along by what sounds like a twisted, intergalactic back beat that is straight up trippy. If you’re looking for a weird and wild spiral down the rabbit hole, throw this on and enjoy the ride.

BlackGunmy – Iconoclast
Los Angeles-based producer Iman Marouf, a.k.a. BlackGummy, just dropped his new EP Monolith, made up of four incredibly mint tracks. There was quite the internal debate for some of us at RaverRafting on which would be featured. While “Arp Makes Sphinx Purr” came in a VERY close second, ultimately the majority of us were drawn to the ominous sounds of “Iconoclast.” Out now on mau5trap, the build up is dark and seductive, with a drop made up of a beat that will have you dancing in a trance for hours on end.

Enrico Sangiuliano – “Astral Projection”
You know that feeling when you hear a beat that sends your body into shock mode instantaneously, and you find yourself just…moving. That’s exactly what Enrico Sangiuliano’s “Astral Projection” track will do to you. Out now on Drumcode Records, it’s a concoction of impeccably crafted cutting-edge techno you’d expect to hear from a Drumcode release, with the addition of a few surprising drops that will send you into a hard groove.

Dense & Pika – Suki
Drumcode heavy weights Dense & Pika have been absolutely murdering it this year. Once again, they show face with their latest 3-track EP Suki. While we’re keen to all three of their original mixes, we ultimately went with Suki as our top pick, as each of us at RaverRafting seemed to gravitate to it for one reasons or another. As the EP’s title-track, expect to hear more house vibes than one would typically expect from this legendary duo, and booming, out of this world, drum sets.

Coyu and Reinier Zonneveld – My Head is On Fire
DJ and producers Coyu and Reinier Zonneveld have join forces to brew up the heart-wrenching track “My Head is On Fire.” As the title and lyrics suggests, your head, heart, and other momentary working body parts will completely lose it once you press play. The beat is made up of continuous pounding drums, intertwined with what feels like super-natural sounds about to abduct your body into a galaxy far beyond this one.
