To celebrate 25 years of Electronic Beats, we're bringing you an XXL double episode (Episode 38 and 39!) dedicated to the driving force of 2000s techno. This is more than just a musical journey—it’s a tribute to the entire lifespan of Electronic Beats itself, spanning 2000 to 2025. In Part One, we dive into the early years: 2000 to 2010. And instead of the usual 10 tracks, we’re serving up 12 techno classics to test your ears. Part Two, covering 2011–2025, drops in two weeks. This episode features a stellar lineup of artists: Luke Slater – UK techno legend and boundary-pusher ROD (Benny Rodrigues) – Blind Test winner and human techno archive. Norman Nodge – Berghain resident and minimal master Juliet Fox – Tregambe label head and techno tastemaker Cecilia Tosh – Tresor resident, producer, and curator Ina Kacz – rising French/Polish DJ with a raw and refined sound We don’t divide techno into subgenres—minimal, dub, Detroit, Schranz—it’s all part of one vibrant, unified spectrum. Remember, this is not a real-time video, so it doesn't say anything about how quickly our guests recognised a track. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. 🌀 Watch the video, test your knowledge, drop your guesses, and leave us a comment.
