Hypnostate label boss Timmo returns with Secret Groove, a focused two-track release built purely for the floor. Push Me delivers a hypnotic, melodic drive, while Secret Groove locks into a raw underground rave energy, powered by a prominent rave synth and relentless groove. Proper, floor-tested techno with clear intent.

Drumcode's beloved A-Sides compilation makes a welcome return after a two-year absence, with a mammoth 25-track feast covering every shade of the techno spectrum. The project was devised in 2012 as a way of showcasing the wealth of strong material Adam Beyer receives each year, which due to Drumcode's busy release schedule, might not otherwise find a home on the label. Since then, it's grown to become an essential fixture on the techno release schedule and a marker for where the genre stands in any given year.
