These are house and techno, old and new. From these sets you should be able to find hundreds of new artist whose songs you want to discover. House and techno is music made specifically for mixing and partying. As such, the best way to listen is by listening to a mix or going to a party. Someone gave me that advice ten years ago and I didn’t understand what they meant until five years ago. The way certain songs blend in with each other, the way a DJ can create a moment, the way the tracks just flow with each other, it’s like nothing else in this world. Remember, there is no Yas Forums techno or Yas Forums house essentials track. Some of the best tracks are made by some guy in his basement who never gets to DJ but all the DJs play his music for years to come. And house and techno blend in with each other in such a way that between the two you can spend a month straight listening to music and still find new music that fit in to both spectrums for 16 months after that.

Sasha and John Digweed are one of the few artist I can think of that had good mainstreem success in the early 2000s and have stayed true to their roots and are still great to this day. The way they build up a set to a single glorious drop and blend tracks together is amazing. You really should check out Bicep. They are a good duo with that blend house/techno/trance together beautiful. The other artist I mentioned are mainstream but are still worth checking out. My cousin saw Lane 8 in Miami and the very next day Ellen Allien and Charlotte De Witt were at the same club but he didn’t go because he thought he should save money for all the Miami Music Week parties he was going to only for everything to get cancelled.

Oh and Derrick May is a Detroit Original. Well worth checking out.
