We at Soundlogik can all agree that 2012 saw the renaissance of almost every genre of electronic music. From speed garage to trap music, EDM from every angle blessed our ears as new young producers jumped onto the boat to not only steer the vector of innovation, but to paint a new destination altogether for themselves. Here, SL takes a tour of our favorite techno tracks of 2012 - ones we felt strayed far enough from the established norm of techno music to incorporate elements from 80s electro, UK funky, and even Chicago house.

Copenhagen producer Troels Knudsen has been a busy boy over the past 10 years. From his groundbreaking drum n bass work as Pyro through to quality house beats for Jus-Ed's Underground Quality as part of 2400 Operator via his work as Northern Structures for Adam X's Sonic Groove imprint. As if all that wasn't enough, he also knocks out more quality techno as Ctrls . With his material picking up support from the great and the good of the techno world including the likes of Blawan [...]

When I moved out to Denver I had already been involved in the electronic music scene with in one way or another and was no stranger to all the different sub-genres. However, It took moving to the Mile High City to truly grasp the definition of filth. I have always been a fan of anything below 20hz, but was very new to BPMs of 140-180. The thriving dubstep scene here changed that, and I soon rediscovered an old friend in Drum and Bass. This brings me to NERO, two UK producers who make everything under the sun with a heavy [...]

They Live By Night is een Zweedse band die tot 2007 een rock-kwartet was, maar na het vertrek van Robin Danielsson zichzelf liever profileert als pop-trio. Want pop, dat is precies wat ze maken. In 2008 kwam hun tweede album uit, en scoorden ze een hitje met Ctrl+Alt+Del My Heart. Geek die ik ben hou ik van computer-gerelateerde referenties in liedjes, en mij hadden ze dus meteen. Met een hoog tempo, een makkelijk refrein en een aanstekelijk gefloten melodie is dit een liedje dat zich in je hoofd nestelt om er niet snel meer uit te verdwijnen. Daarnaast is [...]

DIPLO.. DIPLO.. I love how Santi White says the producer's name in previous megamix. I also love the sound of his latest London mischief-making: he's the latest cool-as-duck artist in monthly charge of the CTRL project. What does that demand? Glad you asked. Diplo has to edit the CTRL MySpace blog , then curate a live show. He's live on the site now, and for his night - at Fabric, tomorrow (16 December) - he has chosen Croydon dubstep leg-end Benga, upcoming digi-gangsters Primary 1 and remix supremo Mumdance. Unfortunately Dippers has also invited Micachu & The Shapes along, but we all make mistakes. It still sounds [...]

Q: Can you start by describing your sound? Rob: I think we try and make pretty melodic, percussive music dealing with quite dark subject matter, but with jaunty melodies. It’s hard to do! Q: So disguising the dark subject matter? Rob: Yeah, you could say that! Q: The phrase ‘Kitchen Sink Indie’ has been used to describe you, care to comment? Rob: It might just be lazy journalism, as [...]
The following Passion Pit interview was conducted by our friend Theo at CTRL.You can visit CTRL here . Q: The first question is about new music. Who’s doing it for you at the moment? Mike - Theophilus London is a friend of mine and I love his music. It’s melodic hip-hop from a real personality. I’m a fan of pop personalities and he certainly has one. He came out of Brooklyn, has a great stage presence and I think he’s [...]
While Gallows aren't tearing up stages all over the world , they're doing other stuff. Like designing tshirts. Well, guitarist, Laurent has been doing that in conjunction with Topman CTRL and we've got one of his tshirts to give away. Ooh, fancy. We also thought it would be a good idea to ask him why he's gone and done it. Personally, I like vomitting lightning. And uniclowns. What was your inspiration behind the eagle design? I wanted to do something simple. [...]

Brave Leonie went down to interview Metronomy at the launch of the Topman Ctrl thing at Hoxton Bar & Grill last week. She's brave because she was supposed to be on the guestlist for the party after she interviewed them but she wasn't and even after all that she still managed to muster up the spirit to write it up for Vainzine. Over to you Leonie ... Topman have got a nerve putting a night on in Shoreditch. It's like your post-divorce dad showing up to [...]
