Excuse Me: Intaktogene Leads a Showcase of Atmospheric Dance Music and Melodic Techno
Intaktogene helms a compilation that moves fluidly between deep house atmospherics and melodic techno, presenting eleven tracks spanning a bold 98 to 159 BPM range. The title cut, Excuse Me (Extended Mix), opens at 126 BPM with patient construction: layered analogue synthesis, detailed percussion, and a hypnotic bassline that builds tension well before any climax arrives. It sets the tone with authority.
Alexey Union & Kinky Sound deliver Pandawa at 123 BPM, a track rooted in continental European house traditions, rich with warm textures and enveloping harmonic progressions. Denys Kanel pays tribute to Lisbon with São Vicente De Fora, offering 126 BPM of melodic elegance and precise percussion that feels both cinematic and floor-ready.
The emotional pivot arrives with Beth Lydi's Extended Remix of Plant Talk Affirmation (M.Age.Project), where minimalism gives way to genuinely moving synthetic lyricism at 127 BPM. The TERR & Daniel Watts collaboration Outer Space breaks the tempo dramatically at 98 BPM, a downtempo interlude that underlines the release's curatorial ambition.
