#69 Top Releases in Electronica

Legendary Swiss DJ/producer Deetron serves up the second release on Mutual Rytm Raw in true old school style, delivering a trio of cuts for all hours of the night. Deetron is a venerated veteran who has been crafting sublime house and techno for three decades on a range of influential labels. 2025 brought another busy year for him, with another standout EP on Ilian Tape followed by his latest album which landed via Running Back in October. Back in 2024, he dropped his Translate Rhythms EP on Mutual Rytms X series and now takes charge of the second release on SHDWs new sub-label Mutual Rytm Raw - following the first 12 You And Me, which was a true summer anthem courtesy of KiNK & Raredub. In its original form, the bright, expressive Flow is a fulsome techno cut that pairs a driving rhythm with sophisticated synths. It sparkles with cosmic energy, while a textured, screwy lead winds through the mix and euphoric female vocals burst out to big emotional reactions. The Chord Dub is a tight, bouncy rework with vamping chords lighting up the drums with real warmth and soul, while the Breakbeat Mix fizzes with rich, old school energy. The dusty breakbeats demand physical reactions, while the pads bring a grand sense of scale and the vocals tug at the heart. All three are classy, effective and offer yet more timeless sounds.

#89 Top Releases in House

Snatch! Records returns with a heavyweight collaboration as label boss Riva Starr teams up with Swiss house and techno legend Deetron for 'Save Me No More', featuring the soulful vocals of Elje. Built on a foundation of uplifting house grooves and refined club energy, 'Save Me No More' sits comfortably between classic house warmth and modern deep house sensibility. Rolling drums, rich chords, and a distinctly UK-influenced house feel give the record a timeless quality, while Elje's vocal delivers a smooth yet emotive hook that lifts the track from the first beat to the last. The release showcases the strengths of both producers across four versions. Riva Starr delivers a groove-focused Club Dub that leans into his trademark dancefloor flair, while Deetron's Ultimate Dub strips things back into a deep, driving journey with intricate rhythm work and hypnotic momentum. The Extended mix completes the package, offering DJs flexibility across warm-up, peak-time, and after-hours settings. 'Save Me No More' is a confident statement from two artists at the top of their craft, blending experience, musicality, and club knowledge into a release designed for modern dancefloors while respecting house music's roots.
