Here's a great channel I found in 2020 for techno mixes. Seems like its mostly folks from Berlin but there are a few big names also.

EDIT: There's craploads of content, a lot of styles, although I will observe that oldschool sounds have continued to come back in a big way in 2020. Rave, electro, acid.

Here's my favourite party set from 2020.

My favorite HÖR BERLIN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MBQFq06w5Y

So happy to see HÖR references on HN! Thanks for your recommendation!

Videos I've come back to way more than once below (most of these are on the harder side of "electro" -- hard techno, hard acid -- but not all)

Tham is awesome! Really working all 4 decks during his mixes, with multiple tracks looping in layers.

Dax J and Hector Oaks also need a mention - Hector adding a sparkle of punk to electronic mixes.

I did not expect to find a link to hör on hn news today. Interesting overlap

I lived in Germany in the 90s and early 2000s, loathed techno, and I must admit that bouncing around a dozen or so of these videos gave me a flashback of nostalgia for lost youth mixed with the same desire to escape the music.

No offense intended - divergent musical taste should be celebrated!
