Andrewboy, Nigel Stately – Manitou [Area Verde Music]
Andrewboy simply cannot be stopped. One of the top producers across melodic techno, he has been delivering hits all year. Continuing his hot streak, Andrewboy recently teamed up with fellow artist Nigel Stately on “Manitou,” a beautifully designed anthem primed for both massive warehouse raves and intimate club settings. This track is powered by dreamy vocals and expertly crafted chord progressions that will hypnotize any listener.
Hayden James, AR/CO – We Could Be Love (Fideles Remix) [Future Classic]
The Fideles remix of “We Could Be Love” transforms the original into a more vibrant and dynamic rendition, while maintaining its emotional core. Infused with Fideles’ signature style, the remix replaces the softer kicks with a punchier beat and grander soundscapes, breathing new life into the track. This reimagining masterfully balances the serene essence of the original with an elevated energy, offering a fresh yet faithful take on the Hayden James and AR/CO collaboration.
Argy, Omiki, Son of Son – RITMO [New World]
“RITMO” brings together the talents of Argy, Omiki, and Son of Son for a track primed to dominate clubs worldwide. It kicks off with an unyielding techno rhythm, layered with a captivating vocal hook that demands attention. Argy’s melodic techno blends seamlessly with Omiki’s progressive trance flair and Son of Son’s haunting operatic vocals, creating a fusion of styles. The diverse synth elements and explosive drop ensure “RITMO” remains engaging from start to finish, solidifying its place as an essential addition to any melodic techno playlist.
Henri Bergmann, Wennink – How to Get Lost [Automatik]
“How To Get Lost” will literally show you how to get lost in the music. I love that this tune wastes no time introducing a powerful lyrical lead and a main chord progression that represents the pinnacle of melodic techno. It also blends in other elements across the broader techno genre, like an acid techno bassline in the beginning. Henri Bergmann and Wennink do a great job of using distorted vocal chops over the instrumental and even the other vocals at one point.
ANMA, Aves Volare – Resonance [Aviary Recordings]
Aves Volare is a rising underground progressive and melodic techno-based artist that should be on every fan of the genre’s radar. His high-energy track “Fearless” was featured on September’s chart, now Volare has partners with ANMA for his return to our monthly top tracks roundup. This trippy and futuristic banger is half of New Horizons, a double-single release alongside “Drift,” which also aims to bend the fabric of its audience’s reality.
REVOL(ofc), Indifferent Guy – Alive [Area Verde Music]
Another melodic techno anthem that is primed for the club, REVOL(ofc) and Indifferent Guy’s “Alive” is a sonic fever dream. When I hear this track, I picture it being 4 AM in a warehouse, no one talking, everyone just losing themselves in the music and dancing. The vocals are so serene and complement the heavy instrumental perfectly; this track’s breakdown does a great job of giving any crowd a breather while still keeping them engaged.
Dominik Gehringer, Ovadia – Digital Age [Purified Records]
Digital Age is on the heavier side of Purified Records, Nore En Pure’s label that is often known for its amazing deep and progressive house. “Dance With Me,” crafted by Domonik Gehringer and Ovadia plunges you into a pit of melodic techno with unique and robotic sound design. This track is a great option for the gym or car ride to the club.
Hidden Empire – Move It [Stil vor Talent]
Hidden Empire, the duo of Branko and Niklas, have crafted a distinctive sound that blends abstract allure with cutting-edge energy. Since their 2015 debut, their music has balanced club-ready beats with explorations into cosmic, exotic, and EBM-inspired territories. Their wide-ranging vision and ability to create memorable, ambitious tracks have solidified their reputation as innovators in the techno and house scene. Released alongside “Enemies,” “Move It” is an added notch on Hidden Empire’s belt of mesmerizing releases.
Salif Keita, MoBlack, Benja (NL), Franc Fala, Cesária Evora – Yamore (MRAK & Armonica Remix) [Decca Records]
MRAK, co-founder of Afterlife and half of globally renowned duo Tale Of Us, has been steadily growing his solo project throughout this year with an infectious six-track EP, headlining performances in front of massive crowds, and chart-topping singles. He continues to expand his legacy by teaming up with Armonica for an official remix of Franc Fala, MoBlack, and Benja (NL)’s “Yamore.” This tune in itself is similar to a remix, but more so a brilliant reimagination of Salif Keïta and Cesária Évora’s 2002 classic.
Weekend Heroes, Abstraal – Isolation [ESCAPE GRAVITY]
Abstraal made a splash on in our top melodic techno tracks from February, earlier this year via his anthem “DISCONNECTED.” Now he is doing it again with Weekend Heroes, making their debut on our charts this year, with “Isolation.” This track is an underground heater that is a must-have for any melodic techno DJ looking to crank up the energy during a set. It is guaranteed to get listeners pumped up and moving.
Korolova, Moonwalk – Prometheus [Spectrum]
An outstanding fit for Joris Voorn’s coveted label Spectrum, Korolova and Moonwalk make a lethal pairing with “Prometheus.” The sound design in this track is so well refined that it makes you feel as if you are taking a ride into the future. The drums are incredibly thick and add a driving energy to the track that cannot be replicated. My favorite part is the buildup in the second half leading into the vocal phrase “system, overload” completely isolated before erupting into the main bassline.
Innēr Sense (ofc) – Reality [Innēr Sense Records]
Innēr Sense has easily become one of my favorite melodic techno artists this year. This rising duo’s basslines and chord progressions are simply irresistible. “Reality” is the standout track from this new five-track EP, Senses, Vol. 1. At the heart of it is beautiful melodies and effects glued together by a vocal lead that will capture your soul. With the title having Volume 1 in it, this hints at more of these remarkable EPs to come in the future, which I could not be more excited about.
Dizharmonia, Bohm, Ark Nomads – Revelio [SPECIES]
“Revelio,” a joint collaboration between Dizharmonia, Bohm, and Ark Nomads, is one of many bangers on SPECIES newest compilation, Echoes of Extinction I. An exclusive on Beatport, this compilation features 22 tracks from a wide spectrum of up-and-coming and veteran melodic techno-based artists, including Mark Tarmonea, widerberg, Fatum, Mia Mendi, Eli & Dani, and more. Other standouts on the compilation are Fatum’s “Parallel Worlds” and Samuel Wallen’s “Fallen.”
Oppaacha, Berin – Memory [Armada Music]
Hailing from the nightlife epicenter of Miami, Berin has been climbing to the top of the melodic techno scene since the launch of his project. Linking up with Oppaacha, the two producers deliver an absolute masterpiece on Armada Music. It is overflowing with ethereal lyrics, outside-the-box sound design, and a bassline that is highly danceable.
Ottum, REVO DJ – Without You [Trip Records]
Closing out November’s selection, Ottum and REVO DJ’s “Without You” is a great way to wrap up the month. Powered by a vocal lead that is emotional and contagious, it also weaves in echoes and synths that take a hold of you. It is impossible to click play on this song and not listen to it all the way through, and it is likely you will end up leaving it on repeat.
