Danilo De Santo

A genre that was born out of Detroit, Techno now exists as an umbrella term housing so many incredible artists, from the original Detroit legends (who are still at the forefront of the scene) to the industrial sounds of Berlin to the more electronic sounds coming out of the US.

It’s been amazing to watch the growth of Techno as a genre over the past couple of years. A sprawling journey that’s seen the genre morph into one of the most popular genres of electronic music in 2018, Techno brands like Resistance and Drumcode now have stages at almost every major electronic festival on the planet and their figureheads have pushed out the former EDM stars to claim the coveted headline spots.

Our top 20 list this year reflects the diversity of sounds that Techno encompasses, with legends like Josh Wink, Mr G and Robert Hood still dominating the genre and holding their places amongst newer faces like ANNA, Matt Sassari and SHADED – who’s journeys are just getting started. So here it is, our top Techno artists of 2018..

Lenny Fontana, The Starletts - On His Mind (Danilo De Santo Remix)

KPR 191R2 Lenny Fontana Pres. The Starletts - On His Mind [Karmic Power Records]
On the back of Lenny Fontana introducing ‘The Starletts’ to the house masses, Karmic Power Records kicks off 2018 with a remix of their classic house track ‘On His Mind’.
Danilo De Santo turns up the heat on his remix, opening the track with a slightly deeper vibe.
A sweet soulful baseline allowing the full vocal to drive the track, guiding you to a break down chorus, where the piano riff from the original version rings through giving a real lift, and merging the two together, an all-round welcomed addition to a burgeoning package.
