Techno has never really been my thing. Most of the time, it just doesn’t really do anything for me. There has been a track or two here and there that have tickled my whistle such as T. Raumschmiere - Monster Truck Driver, Punx - Y.E.A.H., LFO - Freak and most recently D.I.M. - Sysiphos. But the other day a good friend of mine (and fantastic producer), Chad North, sent me his techno take on a breaks classic, Auto Erotic by Dark Globe from aught-two, and i was sold. This track fucking bangs while remaining somewhat understated and simple which is my kinda techno. Chad just keep getting better and better and will no doubt continue to surprise me in the coming months. He used to live here in Chicago and initially turned me on to the original version of the tune, actually, so its fitting that he be the one to make it even better. And if you like his remix, add him on myspace cause he desperately needs some friends. Here’s the tune plus the original.

Dark Globe has reappeared on the scene as well recently with their new album “Nostalgia for The Future” which I have yet to hear but, based on this RA review it looks pretty sweet. Go and Buy it here.

On a completely unrelated note, I’d like to do a bit of shameless self-promotion to all the Chicago readers. I’m playing with Passions and Guns’N'Bombs of Kitsune Records tonight at Lava. You should come, seriously.

GO HERE TONIGHT:
