REEKO - Cyberpunk

























This is not your typical a couple of horns, a couple of tingling bells and a bassline as fat as an elephant techno.

It has a few tingling bells, but its pitch and rhythm are perfect for this track.

I just love that nasty groove which sucks you right in. Then during the break; you hear this "3-2-1 go!" sound sample from race games and that high pitched piano slowly flows in like the tide. I just lost it. 


Even wrote this post before I knew the title of the track. 


KORELESS - Sun

























This track goes deep. It's special and very powerful.

Constantly building up energy but never fully releasing it. Definitely not a track you can easily dance to. But it's not meant to be that. It's supposed to give you a feeling or get you in a certain state of mind. And it does exactly that in a very powerful way. Beautiful.

EXPLOIT - Chordism

desert drive

Now this is quality techno.

A fat sexy groove and a stomping bassline. 


FRITS WENTINK - Ezzo One

Do you know Frits Wentink? I sure didn't, but he's definitely on my radar now.

"Ezzo One" has a really rare and nice groove which sounds new. Kind of dreamy and spacey but in a different way. It's more like a vibe. I like it.


MARCKUS Live at Open Air 2013

I bet the water is perfectly warm

Cant believe I waited three weeks to listen to this one. Because I knew this liveset would be awesome.

Marckus' style varies from laidback tech house to the more deeper, groovy and energetic house. During this set he only plays his own tracks of which more then half is unreleased. And, he does some sweet live keyboard improvisation. 

You gotta love the keyboard when he plays "Need To Know". It just enters the set into a whole new level. 

His track "Drugs Are Bad" (37 min.) and "Victory" (52 min.) are my personal highlights.

What are yours?

MANO LE TOUGH - Primative People (Tale Of Us remix)


























Heard this track for the first time during Tale Of Us' Boiler Room mix. It grabbed my attention right away. Definitely a soon-to-be popular summer/festival track.

It has that typical weird Tale Of Us sound, weird but cool. 

The groove just keeps surprising me, it seems unpredictable. And I especially like those hypnotising bells in the background. They have such a cool rhythm.


From Dutch to English

Muziekbeer will continue to write in English from now on. 

The number of people who aren't from The Netherlands and visit my blog is alot higher now then it was two months ago.

So from now on, everyone will be able to read and understand what I write.
