Airdrop Records, Agency & Blog

The legendary ex-raver, DJ, producer, Midweek Techno host, NuNo Recordings founder, reconverted raver, Pat Fontes has graced us with his latest mix for our new AirPod episode. When Pat gave me the only copy burnt of this mix, he quickly jotted down “Dripples #1″ on the CD, and the name could not be more appropriate. As usual Pat knows techno, you know, the dark addicting melodies type techno, but hey, don’t take my word, listen for yourselves.

The mix features a few of AirDrop’s tracks, some which you already heard, like Franco Cinelli‘s banging version of Soulclap‘s The Giraffe, and others that you never have… yet! For example, there is Tanner Ross‘ remix of die Ente (another Soulclap original production, coming out this month on 12″), there is also Night Patrol a raw Techno groove produced by 19 years old Frenchman Louis Encontre.

Like the true Techno Mixmaster that he is, Pat blends them with some of the most powerful and trapping tracks of the moment. Opening his mix up with an unreleased track by Japanese producer Den, remixed by Sarah Goldfarb on Mark Henning‘s label, Clever Music. The tune is so dirty and bluesy at the same time, it comes right out of the catacombs and I would easily imagine Damian Lazarus going crazy with it. Pat also includes Smash TV-member Holger Zilske‘s amazing tune The Birds, which appears on Playhouse‘s second to last release.

WARNING Some disruptions in your daily routine might occur when listening to the closing of Mr. Techno’s mix… Enjoy your new break!

Thank you Pat for all the good beats and energy you deliver. Techno Activism still exists and Mr. Techno was, is and will always be part of it.
