Top 9 Techno Tracks For Doing Chores

/in /by

Techno is the ultimate background music; you can add it to any time and place and immediatley transmute it into a good time. Just take a dungy, empty warehouse in a seedy part of town- on it’s own, not a very attractive place to be. But add a stack of speakers blasting techno bombers and now it’s the most poppin’ party in town, truly alchemy. Being the spellbinding sound that it is, techno can do the same thing for any occasion. Need to get through that grueling workout? Add techno. Need to bust out 1,000 words before midnight or your professor is gunna drop you from the class faster than a DJ can drop the beat? Add techno. Gotta mop the floors, fold all your clothes, and clean the cat box before bae comes over for takeout and make out? You know the drill, add techno. Read more

Ahh, the infamous digits 4/20. For some, it’s just another date on the calendar, a time on the clock that strikes twice a day, or merely just a silly number to giggle at like a middle schooler with a sharpie in the bathroom stall. But for others, it’s a culture, a community, and a lifestyle- one that prompts you to just simply “blaze it.” It’s also a holiday, one that begs you to burn trees instead of decorating them. For stoners spread far and wide across the globe, April 20th is a day green lit to consume copious amounts of marijauna as if they weren’t already doing that on the other 364 days in the year.

Digging Deeper with Alex Stein

/in , , , /by

There’s something brewing in Brazil as of recent, with a string of talented techno and house artists from the country enjoying well-deserved notoriety in the last few years. Alex Stein is a true Brazilian (SĂŁo Paulo) homegrown artist with roots that reach all the back to the Old Continent — with German blood flowing in his veins and German citizenship to prove it.

The Bavarian-Brazilian artist has made his own way through vast musical studies, including Audio Engineering, studied at the SAE Institute in Frankfurt, as well as a lot of trial-and-error to get where he is now as one of the most well-known and revered artists of the new Brazilian techno/tech-house scene.

His work in the studio has been paying off with a recent release on Suara the latest of a series that has seen him put out music on labels the likes of Bunny Tiger, Great Stuff Recordings, ​Herzblut, Tronic and Sincopat, all the while preparing a new EP for Oliver Huntemann’s imprint Senso Sounds. You wouldn’t be mistaken in thinking that Alex seems to be following on the footsteps of his close friend, peer and fellow countryman Victor Ruiz. They have not only produced together but seem to be following the same path of ascension in their industry, as Alex enjoys an incredible legion of followers not only in his home nation Brazil, but throughout the world thanks to performances in Canada, South Africa, Australia, and of course the main European capitals.

6AM caught up with Alex to learn more about his roots and the personality behind the great music he has been churning out non-stop for the last several years.
