This time on 14tracks:

“Techno: in perpetual motion”

The rate of expansion and mutation in Techno today may not be as virulent as it was 20 years ago, but things happen more incrementally nowadays, with producers constantly refining and reducing the formula to a sleek and well-oiled rhythmic machine designed to provide a gymnastic and mental release for thousands of dancers everywhere, every weekend. Tracks from Sigha, Frozen Border and Function-Regis signify the assimilation of garage and house swing, while the talented Horizontal Ground encourages fresh electro-acoustic experimentation and Van Rivers and Delta Funktionen uphold the essence of purified, synthline-driven traditions. Techno is forever in flux, and this is just a snapshot of where it is at this particular place, in this particular moment in time...
