Coming soon: Techno (All)

Review: Cocoon's iconic compilation series returns with its 22nd volume, and it soon becomes clear Sven Vath's label still knows how to curate forward-thinking electronic music with precision and style. While Cocoon has long been associated with quality techno and electro, this series has become its true hallmark. Presented on a deluxe vinyl edition where each track gets its own side, the sonic fidelity is pristine and gives each production the space it deserves. Superpitcher's 'Dream B' is a futuristic techno voyage that swells with melodic elegance and otherworldly textures. DC Salas shifts the mood with 'Escapism'. a track steeped in Goa trance vibes but grounded with a modern, polished edge. Marcel Fengler delivers 'Aura', a euphoric and high-energy techno track. Joe Metzenmacher's 'Da Freak' brings funky flavor into the mix, with an infectious bassline that demands repeat listens. Joseph Capriati surprises with 'Cosmopop', leaning into a lush 80s-inspired synth pop and electro pop. Matthias Schildger's 'Distorter' closes with pounding broken beats, injecting grit and tension into the collection.
