Dim Key - Broken Piano

As part of a two year retrospective from Russian producer Dim Key, Broken Piano is a playful cut of techno. Stripped back percussion allow room for the wonky pitch oscillated synth to dominate the spectrum.

Also on the album are two more tracks that caught me ear; Black Room. keeps the sparse percussion with a syncopated analog synth pattern and the final track Storm takes the main themes from the previous two tracks and seamlessly blends them.

I love the chunky bass riff that propels the entire song forward. As the track progresses the scattering of sounds on top of the bass become darker; it starts with guitar hammer-ons and clean glissando squeaks and ends with sawtooth synths, distorted vocals and white noise swells.

Here's something a little more deep and melodic than I usually cover. Rigopolar's interpretation of Lewis Beck - A Thought From Jupiter skillfully combines a deep house groove with synthwave melodic stabs and wait for that Stranger Things-esque breakdown.
