  • Human Safari: Culture Shock

    “Human Safari brings jazz improvisation to techno.” Yeah, okay. Whatever, that’s going to sound… wait, wtf? If this is jazz, chain me to the wall.

    The jams on Culture Shock bring techno to a whole new level that you’ve probably never heard before. The jazz improvisation fits perfectly into the genre in a way that I would have never expected would work so well. My only gripe with this album is that the album art isn’t a mouse playing a piano. While I will take this fact to my deathbed as a missed opportunity, the tunes are still worth checking out. Don’t miss out.

  • SOMA NEU Vol. 1-4

    I’m a sucker for a good techno compilation. And good techno compilations don’t come any better than this. The series is currently releasing volume 4 on August 5th, 2025. They’re not offering any previews on Bandcamp, but if the first three volumes are any indication… it is sure to be packed full of bangers.

    Soma Records, headed by Slam, is one of the most consistent labels in techno. You can blindly pick up every release on the label and never be disappointed. Actually, I should probably be assuming that you already know this label and own these records. If not, you have an amazing world of techno to dive into!

  • Sons of Geometry: Lightstrands

    Hove you ever just clicked on something randomly and been blown completely away? Yeah, so I get tons of emails from Bandcamp and this was a seemingly random suggestion, presented to me amongst many other albums. Something about the name, Sons of Geometry, just screamed at me, “THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL LIKE!”

    So, I don’t know anything about this project and there doesn’t seem to be much online in the way of links to check out. The short bio simply reads, “Exploration into the depths of improvised, modular synthesis.” And what more do we need, really?

  • Kyoka: Is (Is Superpowered)

    https://raster-raster.bandcamp.com/album/is-is-superpowered

    Part of this blog is about finding new music. The other side is diving back and sharing old favorites. This album was released on May 5th, 2014, which is right around the time I started producing music as Clone 334.

    Every time I listen to Is (Is Superpowered), I hear something new. The production is jam packed with raw energy. While it doesn’t fall directly in line with “traditional” techno, it belongs right there along side of it. These tracks could all easily be thrown into a playlist or DJ set to add variety and progression. You have to hear this one.
