Electronic music by tag and subgenre

Go straight to track sixteen. Marcel Dettmann's 'Magnet' is the longest cut in this festival selection —7:20— and the slowest on paper: 97 BPM listed, in Db major, inside a grid where almost everything else runs between 134 and 146....

One detail reshuffles how you read this WMB compilation: four of its thirty cuts come from the same man. Florence's Giacomo Bisciarri — whose Deezer profile confirms that Bsharry, Mutehead and Jaques Le Noir are one and the same — appears under...

One remix sets the bar for this closing selection: FJAAK, the Berlin duo, twist Chris Liebing's 'Higher Things' —a cut from his spring album 'Evolver'— into rattling dub techno, molten chords over a mechanical kick, released...

Some guest appearances read like a statement of intent. Josh Wink, the Philadelphian who founded Ovum with King Britt in 1994 and signed the half-million-selling 'Higher State of Consciousness', turns up here with 'NGF': no acid...

There is a very direct way to audit a label's identity: put its anniversary compilation in front of it. Fur:ther Sessions, based in Bad Kohlgrub, Germany, describes itself as a home for deep, timeless electronica spanning everything between...

The first stop sets the course: Edd's 'TO THE RESCUE' opens on Metamorfosi Records, the label Joseph Capriati himself founded in 2025 — named after his Ibiza residency and his 2020 album — and launched with 'No Sleep'...

Three cuts are enough to justify this week's batch of exclusives, and the first arrives with a double pedigree: Basement Jaxx's 'Jump N' Shout' in the hands of Gorgon City. The duo return to Toolroom to reimagine the Jaxx...

The BPM column on this selection lies, and you want to know that before it lands in your record bag: a dozen cuts read below 110, and the ones marked between 66 and 71 —ASAN's 'Picktooth', Lucas Sosa's 'La Noche', the...

It opens in a major key, a rarity in this corner of techno: 'Tenebrous' kicks off at 142 BPM in A Major, the first of three consecutive cards MaKabre keeps for himself, each on a different label: Isogon, Dolma, M4rlow. It is no...

Twelve cuts locked between 134 and 138 BPM, and a thirteenth that reads 71 on the sheet: this Alex Micca selection is best read through that fracture. Everything before 'Nada Existe' is big-hour techno, and the closer's title —signed...
