#99 Top Releases in Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Say What? returns with Dani Sbert and Mr Coalman bringing Aluvion EP — a fierce four-tracker fusing raw energy, mechanical drive, and hypnotic grit in equal measure. First off is Dani Sberts Aluvion opens the release with a relentless pulse: pounding low-end pressure, modular undertones, and an industrial edge that captures the tension of a warehouse at full tilt. Its stripped-down yet massive — a pure tool designed to ignite late-night floors. Next up is Mr Coalmans remix of Aluvion twists the original into darker, dust-coated territory. Gritty textures, distorted percussion, and a brooding sense of motion create a raw, analog-heavy reinterpretation that feels both primal and forward-thinking. The third track on the release is Mr Coalmans Ash and Stone and dives deep into a murky, hypnotic groove — where smoldering atmospheres and broken metallic hits fuse into a pressure-cooker of tension and groove. Its a track that breathes, evolves, and burns slow. The last track on the Ep is Dani Sberts remix of Ash and Stone and closes it with precision and power, reshaping the Original into a high-impact floor weapon. Razor-sharp hats and a thunderous kick carve through layers of smoke and delayed synth layers, reaffirming both producers command of raw, unfiltered techno. Enjoy
