Which record captures the spirit of Berlin? For city residents Ryan Elliott and Christian AB, it's about sex appeal and the grey area between house, techno and trance. In our latest Soundtracking episode, the dynamic duo scan the crates at local record shop Sound Metaphors, discussing their approach to peak-time missiles, curveballs and the ultimate closing track. Catch their sets at London festival Waterworks Festival this weekend to see if any of these cuts get a run-out. Diego Perret Jose M. Sanchez Marbella Studio

For the 35th episode of our Telekom Electronic Beats Blind Test series we turn to the genre of Hardgroove and some of its iconic records from the 2000’s. The sound has seen a huge resurgence in recent years from many DJ’s and lovers of loop-led, sample heavy and tribal percussion tinged techno. Hardgroove’s most notable purveyor, Ben Sims, coined the term in the 90’s, although he also alludes to the genre’s lineage harkening back to hip-hop, the repeating of drum breaks and heavy instrumental sections of funk and disco records. Joining us here is a selection of ardent advocates for the sound, namely Greece’s ANNĒ, an artist on Sims’ Hardgroove and Symbolism labels, Life In Patterns and Mutual Rhythm producer Sera J and I Love Acid artist and Milano based Elisa Bee. Also stepping up is the London’s Mark Williams whose history in the genre dates back to the early 90’s, as well as the much loved Berlin-based vinyl DJ Slin, and finally the dynamic duo, BAUGRUPPE90. Playlist curated by kyly_dj Please note that this video is not filmed in real time. It’s edited to create some tension so that you in front of the screen can guess as well. It doesn’t say anything about how fast the participants recognised the track etc. All contestants receive one point for both artist and title correct, but only half a point if they can only guess the artist or the title.
