#18 Top Releases in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Repetitive Rhythm Research presents: FW25/26 The sound of the season? Or a tongue-in-cheek reflection on fleeting trends? Techno has always moved in cycles, styles fade in and out of focus, but true character stands the test of time. As the genre enters its fourth decade, its fascinating to see how experimentation sometimes becomes formula, and how fresh ideas can either break the mould or quietly slide into the mainstream. This new compilation on Repetitive Rhythm Research explores exactly that tension. 12 tracks by 12 artists, ranging from rising talents to established names, each bringing their own distinct approach. This isnt your typical cut from the same cloth compilation. Its a diverse journey through contemporary techno with all its depth, quirks, and raw energy. From Marcel Dettmanns dark and spooky slow-burner This Is a Test, to Peder Mannerfelts forward-thinking Alternate Current. Force Reaction dives into trippy terrain with Mysteries Unfolding, while Sanna Mun and Dynamic Forces channel classic Detroit vibrations. Section 6 (a well-known Dutch producer) and Sonic Propaganda (aka Earwax and Rosati) deliver peak-time power. UFO95 takes you on an epic trip with Apollo95, while Conrad Van Ortons Plaintive Drift operates in a lane of its own, fast-paced, hypnotic, and emotionally rich. And then theres the ever-consistent Jeroen Search, the fierce energy of Kerrie, and the unmistakable sonic fingerprint of Aleksi Perala. Each contributes to this wide-ranging exploration of technos current landscape. This Fall/Winter 25/26 release isnt just another techno compilation. Its a curated statement that embraces contrast, personality, and forward momentum. Pick your favorites. Revisit the outliers. Let the rhythms unfold.
