All I Need
Produced By: Shinichi Osawa
Why You Should Listen: Shinichi Osawa’s All I Need is simple, collected and striking all in one. What’s really special about the Kitsune release is how peculiarly intoxicating the single is. Magnificent!
Analogies
Produced By: NEUS
Why You Should Listen: Darker rhythms and menacing sound? That’s exactly what you can expect in this NEUS single. It’s the perfect, dark electro jam.
Backup
Produced By: Ferd
Why You Should Listen: Fan of Drivepilot? Well, Ferd’s Backup is the closest thing you can get to that ominous, metalectro noise. The 3-minute track fuses driving bass lines and sophisticated synths together in the most unique ways, and we dig it.
Before I Go Away (Le Wanderer Remix)
Produced By: Leo Napier // Le Wanderer
Why You Should Listen: This soulful electro epic is nothing less than brilliant. Really, Le Wanderer’s Before I Go Away revamp delivers a refreshing wave of classically-inspired tek-funk, which brings listeners on one of the most captivating sound adventures.
Cassette (Neo Tokyo Remix)
Produced By: Punx Soundcheck
Why You Should Listen: Video game synths? Smashing kits? Electrifying leads? Bloghaus energy? You’ll get all of that and more in Neo Tokyo’s Cassette remix. It’s nearly eight years old and it still keeps us moving.
Ignition
Produced By: Linoleum
Why You Should Listen: For such a simple melody, Linoleum’s Ignition really hits home. The 5-minute single maintains this unusually exhilarating flow of sound, so it’s no wonder it made this list.

Is You (Le Castle Vania Remix)
Produced By: D.I.M. // Le Castle Vania
Why You Should Listen: This is the Le Castle Vania sound we’ve grown to love. In recent years, the talented DJ/producer’s music took a slight departure in style, so we wanted to highlight some of his original work that brought him into the limelight. His Is You remix? It’s to die for.

Lapidatio
Produced By: Dizkodeath
Why You Should Listen: Now, Dizkodeath first appeared on our radar back in 2014, when his blockbuster track, Raw, hit our ears. Since then, the German musician has been relatively quiet, but his sounds still hold their own. In specific, Dizkodeath’s Lapidatio is one of those undiscovered gems that you’ll never be able to forget.
Looking For Tracy Tzu
Produced By: Carpenter Brut
Why You Should Listen: Retro-futuristic influences and animated dark wave never go out of style. That’s precisely the case with Carpenter Brut’s Looking For Tracy Tzu, which sees the French electronic musician dish out some soundtrack level sounds. Prepare to be wonderstruck.
Octane
Produced By: Dash30
Why You Should Listen: From its filtered funk trinkets and amplified builds to its distorted rhythms and fresh grooves, Dash30’s Octane will put a spell on any modern-day electro enthusiast. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

Ouais Ouais
Produced By: LemKuuja
Why You Should Listen: Lemkuuja’s Ouais Ouais will have you saying “oh, mon dieu” in no time at all. The 4-minute frenzy is a quintessential french electro hit, with a light sprinkle of disco-pop accents to top it off. Don’t miss out on this one!

Roleplay (Husky Remix)

Toxic Is Dead (Euphorie Remix)
Produced By: Euphorie // The Toxic Avenger
Why You Should Listen: Toxic may be dead, but French act, Euphorie, brought it back to life in their stunning remix. It’s a fusion of pristine synthwork, elegant leads and evolving moods, and it would certainly make The Toxic Avenger proud.
