Greetings techno fans, and as always, welcome to Tech This Out! In tune with the current chaos of the holiday season, we’ve devised a gentler, deeper, more eclectic playlist of tracks for this week. These songs can take your mind to places you’ve never been, and then leave you wondering what you just heard.
1. Ray Kajioka – Strike
First, we’d like to warm up your chilly Monday morning with Ray Kajioka’s temperamental “Strike,” a sensual song that has an effortless groove. The melody is mesmerizing and it hypnotizes the listener through a cascade of funky synths. It’s a great tune to wake up to!

2. Dada Attack – Clearly Imply (Gui Boratto Mix)
Gui Boratto’s remix of Dada Attack’s “Clearly Imply” is a chill yet intense collection of experimental chords. The reverb is pretty boisterous, and it gets weird at times, but it’s a beautifully crafted song with a dark, haunting melody.

3. Green Velvet – Bigger Than Prince (Hot Since 82 Remix)
Now that we’re building some atmospheric vibes, get your groove going to Hot Since 82’s remarkable remix of Green Velvet’s classic, “Bigger Than Prince.” The posh bassline and vocal chops draw you in as your body wonders whether to dance or start voguing. We ask, why not both?

4. Justin Martin & Ardalan – Princess
We really wanted to include “Princess” by Justin Martin and Ardalan (Dirtybird Records) because it’s really out there. A fascinating mixture between an Ibiza nightclub and a grungy European dive bar, there’s a lot of avant-garde sounds going on. There’s also some clean, brisk synths and timing; that sarcastic voice making you crack a smile each time it transitions in.

5. Mason – Exceeder (UMEK & Mike Vale Remix)
Slovenian techno master UMEK has been holding it down the underground for ages, and this is one of our favorite remixes with him and Mike Vale. It’s a really minimal track with cool sounds and captivating delays. The synth arpeggios are amazing, and we love the way everything wraps up. This song should definitely be on your playlist!
