44BEATZCAST 20:08
Over 96 minutes of techno, acid, minimal, garage and ambient, 44BEATZCAST 20:08 celebrates Detroit pioneers like Kenny Larkin and Derrick May and Drexciya’s subaquatic electro. Radio Slave’s garage remix and Spektre’s modern take on PIG & DAN add UK edge, while Boys Noize reimagines Depeche Mode and a Gregor Tresher, Laurent Garnier colleague, injects cosmic techno. A seamless testament to decades of dancefloor evolution.
Opening with Kenny Larkin’s ‘Java’, the mix lays down Detroit techno before stirring acid via Troy Pierce’s Louderbach remix of ‘Even If It’s Alone’. DJ T.’s ‘A Guy Called Jack’ adds UK minimal flair, then Drexciya’s ‘Wave Jumper’ drifts in aquatic electro. Jamie Anderson’s Radio Slave remix of ‘Time Is Now’ brings a garage pulse. Bryan Zentz & Stare 5’s ‘Bonus 2’ and Butch’s ‘Dimensions’ delve into minimal techno, followed by Envoy’s dub mix of ‘Night Moves’ and Fabrice Torricella’s ‘Blood Madness’.
Ferdinand Dreyssig’s ‘Amnesie’ leads into Derrick May’s ‘Strings of Life’, which segues into Gregor Tresher’s ‘Nightcolors’ remix. Hybrid Soundsystem’s rework of Guy J & Miriam Vaga’s ‘Fly’ lifts us into progressive realms, then Spektre’s remix of PIG & DAN’s ‘Cubes’ thunders with techno clout. Superpitcher’s schaffel mix of Quarks’ ‘I Walk’ infuses Balearic swing, and Plump DJs rework Dave Spoon’s ‘Lummox’ with breakbeat.
Boys Noize’s take on Depeche Mode’s ‘Personal Jesus’ goes electro-punk, while Robert Hood remixes The Black Dog’s ‘Train By The Autobahn’ into minimal IDM. Andrea’s ‘Hera’ flutters in microhouse, then DJ Hell remixes P Diddy feat Kelis’s ‘Let’s Get Ill’ into hip-house. The Fear Ratio’s ‘Mas’ and Laurent Garnier & Mix Master Doody’s storm mix stir French techno before U96’s ‘Dark Matter’ revisits ’90s rave. Dj Rubio’s ‘Cerulean Skull’ dissolves the set into ambient dreamscapes, completing a 96-minute cross-genre soundscape.
