While it has attracted few followers since its inception in June 2018, of our seven Spotify playlists, we’re always exceptionally proud of our Techno list because we know the lengths these artists go to in pushing the genre ever-forward and in turn, those we go to in sorting the wheat from the chaff and ensuring not one spot in the 30 is wasted. We think its the best kept non-secret going. If you’re lucky enough to be here, judge for yourself below. Limited to 30 tracks at any one time, original mixes only, always updated, always fresh.
Coming soon – with the number of tracks featured in this playlist during the first few weeks of 2020 now sitting at 145 already, our Tracks of 2020 Series: Techno is imminent. There you’ll be able to access all the techno goodness removed from this playlist to make way for new tracks.
And don’t be fooled into thinking because indie is in our title that indie30 is not a techno, house or electronic music blog as much as it is a blog for the non-electronic genres we cover. This is an indie blog – an independent music blog, Because indie simply means independent music, pound for pound Techno has always been more indie than any other genre.
