Technodreamer Delivers His 8th Selection on Spring Tube AC
Spring Tube AC's Artist Choice series reaches its 81st instalment with Technodreamer at the helm, and this eighth selection cements the Russian producer's reputation as one of the most consistent curators in the European progressive house circuit. Spanning nearly one hour and forty minutes anchored at 117 BPM, the continuous DJ mix drifts elegantly between progressive house, deep house, and organic house, weaving a sonic narrative that moves with purpose and restraint.
The tracklist opens with a surprising burst of energy via Phrakture's Remix of 'Stellarity' by Claes Rosen, a breakbeat-laced cut that immediately signals the selector's broad musical outlook. From there, the focus shifts to mid-tempo progressive: 'Seeds' by Nugsupreme delivers seven minutes of hypnotic construction in Ab Major, while 'Flonkerton' in mredrollo's remix provides the set's longest moment — 9:32 — with an organic house texture that intentionally slows the pulse at just the right time.
Particular attention should be paid to 'Quasar' by Dave Shtorn, eight and a half minutes of dense progressive in B minor, and the remix of 'Needed You' co-signed by Technodreamer himself alongside Slang, where deep house takes on a more personal and introspective dimension. Blood Groove & Kikis appear at two key junctures — their remix of 'Nude' and the Akamas Remix of 'Underwater' — further consolidating their omnipresence on the label.
- Highlight: Quasar – Dave Shtorn
- Highlight: Flonkerton (mredrollo Remix) – Hernan Cerbello
- Highlight: Needed You (Slang & Technodreamer Remix) – Anthony Mea
- Highlight: Seeds – Nugsupreme
The closing track, 'Darkest Hour Is Just Before the Dawn' by Invisible Sounds, running at 115 BPM in Ab Major, serves as a contemplative epilogue that reinforces the evocative tone running throughout the entire selection. A solid, uncompromising release that reaffirms Spring Tube AC's identity as a sanctuary for melodic underground electronic music.
