Heartbeat is a Techbeat

An off-the-cuff harmonic excursion into progressive techno, Great for chilling, hanging out with friends and playing at events where people want to dance but don't want the aggression of techno or summer-drunk funk of house. I mixed this with an emphasis on transitions and finding tracks that were similar in key to create a melodic palette of sound. There is a nice ebb and flow that will keep you guessing. Stay tuned for more in this series, as well as a full-length album of my favorite progressive tunes, mixed to perfection (or near enough).

A compilation of minimal and deep techno and techouse – Playful Bytes takes bass-heavy, plodding rhythms and eases them into a body of quirky, bouncing, itchy tracks that focus on the tight, restless movement of clicks, blips, and beeps which wrap up into a slightly fuller sound that finishes the mix. It’s my introduction to you, my first offering of tracks mixed live and without effects or software besides that used to record the set. Enjoy.
