When it comes to artists who ignore trends and write original electronic songs, Ursula 1000 and DJ Ayers would be two artists who come to mind. And if I had to predict what kind of techno would provide the soundtrack to an all out zombie invasion, it would be acid. “Zombies” is a classic techno lovers wet dream and I hope that when a zombie catches me and starts chewing on my brain, this song is blasting in the background.

Larry Tee has spent his career exploring and pioneering new sounds in dance music. Most famous was coining and trademarking the term “electroclash.” Since 1989 Larry has been involved bringing the dirty nasty beats to some of the most famous parties in history.
You may not know his name but you’ve danced to his beats. Since the early-1970s Arthur Baker has been the patriarch of dancefloor sensible beats, shaping the sounds of both hip-hop and dance music. His unparalleled discography reads like a history of contemporary music with groundbreaking titles like “Planet Rock” and “Breaker’s Revenge.” Arthur proves he’s still stepping away from the boards with forward-thinking music with “Onederful (Planet Rocka Dub),” and after 35 years, the man is still killing it!
Here’s the video for “Planet Rock.” I must hear for any music lover.
