RAVE THE PLANET – Supporter Series Vol. 005 supplies three techno weapons perfect for peak time moments on the dance floor.

Rave The Planet is a non-profit organisation based in Berlin, which is dedicated to the art and culture of electronic music. Their main aims are to protect techno culture as a UNESCO Intangible Heritage , and to bring back the spirit of the Berlin Love Parade with a new ‘big techno parade’ in 2022. As usual, all proceeds from sales will go directly into Rave The Planet’s non-profit projects.

Antonio D’Africa & Sall are two DJs and producers from Milan who have worked with labels ranging from Ramon Tapia’s Say What? to The YellowHead’s Reload. Their track “Heaven Closer” is a main floor driving techno tune that is meant to be played fast and loud, and gets straight to the point with its hard-hitting groove.

Next up is Italy’s Ingrid with her old-school influenced track “1991”, which has a classic warehouse vibe with shimmering arpeggios. Taking its title from the trippy vocal loop, the track is in the style Ingrid has previously showcased on labels like Frankyeffe’s RXC and Simina Grigoriu’s Kuukou Records.

Never slowing down, Spanish techno wizard Ramiro Lopez is known best for his heavyweight releases on Drumcode, Terminal M and his own Odd Recordings. He closes the EP with his hypnotic techno cut “Musica” which blends analogue textures with fast-flowing percussion.
