From obscurities uncovered during trips down Bandcamp rabbit holes to the latest releases from legendary artists, Crate Digging is here to keep your collection up to date.

1. Toumba – Rashash [Nervous Horizon]

Toumba draws on his Jordanian heritage with “Rashash,” a contemporary club banger that blends traditional Arabic percussion with rapid-fire kicks and gnarly drones. Nervous Horizon is the perfect home for this kind of forward-thinking, experimental bass music.

2. Dennis Quin – Temptation [Dennis Quin]

The title track from the Temptation EP sees Dennis Quin returning to his self-titled imprint with a classy slice of uplifting house. A bouncy, ’90s-style bass line and swinging beats lead the way, complemented by fluttering pianos, classic rave stabs, and a catchy vocal sample.

3. Trunkline – Overlaps (Sterac Remix) [Arkham Audio]

Dutch techno legend Steve Rachmad dons his Sterac alias to remix “Overlaps” in his inimitable style. Rachmad strips down the drums and adds dusty dub chord sequences that slowly build and release tension as they wash in and out of the mix.

4. Jeff Mills – The Other Maria [Axis]

“The Other Maria” sees Jeff Mills heading deeper down the rabbit hole of leftfield, experimental techno, adding touches of cinematic sound design to his now signature sci-fi flavor.

5. Sully, Coco Bryce, Dwarde and Tim Reaper – Synergy [Future Retro London]

Four absolute powerhouses of the contemporary jungle scene team up on the aptly-titled “Synergy.” Sully, Coco Bryce, Dwarde, and Tim Reaper each bring their production strengths to a collaboration that is more than the sum of its parts. Roughneck breaks, sub-rattling bass, and trippy synths conjure images of hazy warehouses in the mid 90’s.

6. Radio Slave – Strobe Queen (Kirk Degiorgio Remix) [Rekids]

The already lush and uplifting “Strobe Queen” heads into full-on Balearic territory thanks to Kirk Degiorgio. The tempo gets lowered, and the strings and pianos of Radio Slave‘s original are replaced by reverbed acid licks, soaring pads, twinkling synths, and a warm, fuzzy bassline.

7. JC Laurent – Chemical Clouds [Cielo Records]

JC Laurent gets deep with a heady, minimal and percussive soundscape that draws influences from techno, drum and bass, and ambient. Despite its stripped-down aesthetic, “Chemical Clouds” is a thunderous track that will do serious damage when played through a big sound system.

8. Loleatta Holloway – Crash Goes Love (Jaymie Silk Remix) [Jaymie Silk]

Disco luminary Loleatta Holloway is the latest to get the Jaymie Silk edit treatment. Her powerful, catchy vocals from “Crash Goes Love” get layered over chunky kicks, rolling bass, and chopped-up tribal loops.

9. Sanguine – If You Know [Pure Space]

“If You Know” is a slowly-evolving, spaced-out tribal techno journey in which Sanguine seamlessly combines warm, subtle melodies with precise drum programming and booming low end. One of many highlights from Pure Space’s latest compilation in the Proximity series.

10. Rebecca Goldberg – Automated (Mark Broom Remix) [Phoq U Phonogrammen]

Straight-up hardgroove goodness from one of the pioneers of the sound. Mark Broom adds some thumping TR-909 patterns and rolling sub bass to “Automated” while retaining the hypnotic synth sequences from Rebecca Goldberg‘s original mix, cleverly combining elements of both U.K. and Detroit techno.

1. Neil MacLeod – Curer (Second Self Remix) [Particle Recordings]

2. Fantastic Man – Nebula Nights [Superconscious Records]

A digital-only bonus track from the second installment of his Visions Of Dance series, “Nebula Nights” is a low-slung, psychedelic trip. Fantastic Man deftly weaves together euphoric chords, wonky bleeps, and warm bass together, all underpinned by a steady breakbeat loop.

3. Scotch Rolex & Shackleton – Shattered [Silver Triplet]

Death by Tickling by Scotch Rolex and Shackleton

New label Silver Triplet storms out the gates with a collaboration between Scotch Rolex and Shackleton, two of electronic music’s most fearless mavericks. “Shattered” takes the recognisable sonic palettes of each artist and mashes them together into a off-kilter mixture of tribal drums, gnarly echoes, experimental sound design, and unpredictable rhythm changes.

4. Adolpho & Franky – Red District Ballade (Zillas On Acid Remix) [Folklor Nation]

Folklor Nation bosses Adolpho & Franky land on their fledgling imprint with “Red District Ballade,” a chuggy, mid-tempo house track full of attitude. Zillas On Acid add some extra grit in their remix with an undulating, acid-tinged bassline and skippy drums, peppering the groove with the original’s tripped-out vocal hits.

5. Amy Kisnorbo – Squidge [Pineapple]

A rapidly rising talent in the bass music scene, Amy Kisnorbo is making a name for herself as a forward-thinking artist who combines elements of grime, breakbeat, jungle, and electro. On “Squidge,” she adds ghetto-tech to the mix, delivering an up-tempo, snappy, and unabashedly fun dance floor burner.

6. Men From The Nile Feat. Peven Everett – Watch Them Come [Undaground Therapy Muzik]

Legendary label Undaground Therapy Muzik, originally launched in 1996 by Roy Davis Jr. and Odell Brazier, is re-releasing their entire back catalogue digitally, starting with their biggest hit “Watch Them Come.”  A collaboration between Roy Davis Jr., Jay Juniel, and Peven Everett, it’s a classic deep house cut with an instantly recognizable vocal refrain and a quirky, future-jazz lead synth.

7. Angus Mills – Herbert St [Moonshoe]

Taken from Angus Mills‘ debut release on Moonshoe, “Herbert St” is deep, meditative electronica with tasteful nods to dub and psybient with its swirling reverb washes and hypnotic sine sequences. This one fits perfectly in the space between the dance floor and the after party couch.

8. Forest On Stasys – Ritmica Natural [Danza Nativa]

Forest On Stasys cement their position amongst the upper echelon of artists producing heady, intricate, and spacious techno with “Ritmica Natural.” Stripped-down, organic drums and wispy, echoed atmospherics give the track an eerie atmosphere only amplified by the French spoken word passage that sits on top.

9. Peter van Hoesen – Imposter [Time To Express]

A Swing Is Not A Throw by Peter Van Hoesen

Constructed from just a fragment of the countless hours of individual sounds he has been using on-the-fly during his live shows over the past 12 months, “Imposter” is quintessential Peter Van Hoesen. Tunneling, sharp-focussed hypnotic techno with a gnarly, worm-like lead synth.

10. Pugilist & Tamen – Lithium (Dwarde & Tim Reaper Remix) [DEXT Recordings]

An absolute dream team come together for all-out breakbeat hardcore madness. Contemporary dons of drum break manipulation Tim Reaper and Dwarde remix regular collaborators Pugilist and Tamen‘s “Lithium,” turning it from a deep, atmospheric jungle cut into an assault of chopped-and-screwed breaks, rave-ready synths, classic vocal samples, and massive sub bass.
