History Mix #5: Pounding Techno Power Tools 1998-2003

Подробнее о видео

Continuing where we left off last time with more pneumatic bangers from the subsequent 5 years. Not all tracks here fall dead centre into the classification of techno power tools (topic for debate: was Vitalic electroclash or techno?), but they all deliver plenty of oomph and pounding drive. There's even a couple of electro tracks in there, but to stick to the theme, I made sure they were underpinned by 4/4 kick drum action at all times. As we near the end, things turn into quite the dystopian epic over the last four tracks.

New feature in this instalment: dash cam. And just like with part 1, this style is all about the mix. Most of these tracks were not really designed to be heard on their own, but to be gratuitously combined into new shapes to keep the interest up and the forward momentum going.
