#61 Top Releases in Techno (Peak Time / Driving)

Hungarian techno force Daniel Weirdo makes his much-anticipated return to EXTIMA, this time delivering a razor-sharp double-tracker that once again proves why he is one of the labels most consistent talents. The title track, Sun Comes Up, is a peak-time weapon built on a commanding low-end groove, rolling relentlessly while shimmering synths and subtle textures create a sense of tension and release. Its a track that radiates energy and is perfectly tuned for those sunrise-afterhours or late-night floor peaks where momentum is everything. On the flip side, The Beat Was Mine carries the same raw dancefloor intensity but with a darker, funk-driven character. The basslines hit with hypnotic force, layered with sharp percussion and understated atmospheric details that keep the groove alive from start to finish. Together, these two tracks showcase Weirdos mastery of groove-based peak-time techno—tracks that are as compelling in structure as they are irresistible in movement. The Sun Comes Up EP is another standout moment in EXTIMAs forward-driving catalog, reaffirming the labels role as a home for cutting-edge, floor-dominating techno.
