I seem to acquiring a helluva lot of housey minimal material at the moment but very little techno/electro, which as you may have gathered from the previous Now We Rave posts, is the general theme of this space. But in a determined mood I've dug deep and assembled a few tracks which I believe are definitely rave-worthy. Please note that several of these tracks are taken from recently released EP's which are all definitely worth getting your hands on.

Taken from the recently released Planet Turbo EP (see earlier post), Matt Walsh's adaption of Popof's The Chomper is a battering ram of techno goodness. Flecked with ravey little computer-sonics and drenched in bass, it was a staple of Walsh's closing sets during the Planet Turbo tour.

Hey Today's Strange EP, featuring three mixes and a radio edit of the original is rich in rave nutrients, most notably Polymorphic's contribution. A savage demonstration of how to create genuine dancefloor carnage, but then what do you expect from one of Proxy's mates?

Boys Noize's 1010/Yeah EP needs no more of an introduction. We decided not to post Yeah, arguably the finest piece of electro-house 2010 has had to show for itself, as out of respect we felt it should be allowed to breathe away from the blogosphere. However, on the B-side, 1010 is just unadulterated acid techno, which deserves an honourable mention...

Hervé continues to show why he's so highly regarded in the electro world right now. His deliciously distorted Together has equal amounts of ravey filth and feel-good houseyness. Fittingly, we heard him spin this during his Together appearance at London's Coronet back a few months ago. Despite the less that desirable crowd that night, the tune was one of the genuine highlights of the night.
