44BEATZCAST 20:12
Spanning rock, synth-pop, house and techno, 44BEATZCAST 20:12 packs 80 minutes of legendary sounds. Patti Smith’s stirring “People Have the Power” ignites the set, while Moby’s “Beautiful (Laurent Konrad Remix)”, The Human League’s “The Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Tiga Remix)” and Laurent Garnier’s “Our Future (feat. The L.B.S. Crew)” showcase electronica’s breadth. Detroit icons Octave One (“Blackwater (Alter Ego Vocal Mix)”) and modern maestros Maceo Plex (“Cinemax”) join the ride, capped by Layo & Bushwacka’s “Let The Good Times Roll”.
The journey begins with Patti Smith’s defiant “People Have the Power”, immediately recast in contemplative mode by Moby’s “Beautiful (Laurent Konrad Remix)”. Laurent Garnier then rallies unity in “Our Future (feat. The L.B.S. Crew)”, before Tiga breathes new life into The Human League’s “The Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Tiga Remix)”.
Shifting gears, Land Between Grooves’s “Electricity” and Timo Maas’s “Der Schieber (Funkin' For Hope In NY)” introduce rolling bass and cosmic vocoder calls. Foremost’s “Moonraker (Acapella)” floats above Skatebard’s tough-love “Shame (Skatebard Mix)”, until Garnier returns with the raw propulsion of “Bang (The Underground doesn’t Stop)”.
Octave One’s “Blackwater (Alter Ego Vocal Mix)” glistens with Detroit soul, while Hatiras’s “Spaced Invader (Olav Basoski Remix)” unleashes acid-house fireworks. N-Ter’s “Maschinen Technology” and PinballSpider’s “Circuit Breaker” ratchet intensity higher, only to give way to Octo Octa’s lush breakbeat in “Beam Me Up (Please Take Me Away Mix)”.
Underground Resistance’s “Intersteller Crime Report” delivers militant techno, then K.Flay’s “Blood In The Cut” punches through with indie grit. Steeple Remove’s “Oval Strii (Laurent Garnier Remix)” and Confluence’s “Rising” lift spirits before Maceo Plex’s “Cinemax” bathes the room in deep-house noir.
Acid rears its head via Dr Motte & Robert Babicz’s “Nono (Thomas P. Heckmann Rework)”, preceding DJ Hell’s electrifying “The Electrifying Mojo”. Finally, Layo & Bushwacka’s joyful “Let The Good Times Roll” closes the set, leaving you breathless, emboldened and craving more.
