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

Berlin born and raised trio FJAAK are playing Berghain this coming Saturday, a week following their self-titled debut album release that came out just three days ago.

Since their establishment in 2009, Felix Wagner, Aaron Röbig and Kevin Kozicki  have attracted worldwide attention with an alternative and boundary pushing take on classic techno, house and breakbeat. They began to create all types of music made with microphones, guitars and drums in a dark, chaotic and dirty cellar at quite an early age. After getting in touch with the Berlin underground techno scene, days and nights started being all about music. Whether it was chopping beats on the MPC in the morning hours or studying manuals, the internet, vinyl stores and Schneiders Buero. FJAAK also run the international party series called “Machine Vibes” and have in the past released on 50Weapons and Cityslang

Released on Monkeytown Records, the 11-track LP has been made available for streaming on SoundCloud (below) and Spotify, and includes collaborations with Dystopian boss RĂždhåd and Modeselektor. You can purchase digital and vinyl copies of the album via Discogs.
