2. Adam Beyer – You’re The Same
As the journey continues, we’d like to highlight a classic sound from techno master, Adam Beyer. Reigning supreme as one of our favorite artists of all time, Beyer knows just how to send the listener into an underground tunnel with his sonic séances. Tantalizing echoes, haunting synths, filtered vocals and a groovy bassline dominate the seismic “You’re The Same!”

3. Kaiserdisco – 5th Element (Arjun Vagale & Ramiro Lopez Remix)
When it comes to techno – we like it dark, and we like it heavy. Things get a bit serious with this next song, “5th Element” Remix from Arjun Vagale and Ramiro Lopez. Classic techno claps, winding synths, subtle lasers, and a bumping bassline intertwine to create this masterpiece. The main melody gets pretty grungy – just the way we like it! Get ready to take a spiraling trip down the rabbit hole with this one…

4. Justin Martin & Ardalan Ft. PartyPatty – Function
Now let’s switch it up with something a bit more lighthearted. If you were lucky enough to see Justin Martin B2B Eats Everything at BUKU Music + Arts Project this past March, consider yourself golden. Justin Martin’s tunes are always in sync with what Dirtybird represents: throwbacks to old school sounds, bouncy, funky dance rhythms, and cultured techno that includes bold synths, robotic voices and sarcastic undertones. We LOVE this tune! Imagine if the bumps in the night could be funky and chic – that’s what you get with “Function.”

5. Sian – Autogamy (Harvey Mckay Remix)
This next track is pretty minimal, but packs just as much punch as the other tunes in this week’s episode! A slight break in the beginning showcases some head-spinning vocals that’ll have your body grooving endlessly to the beat. Enjoy Harvey Mckay’s amazing Remix of Sian’s “Autogamy!”
