Take a journey down into the darkest hours of the Barcelona club scene with Miguel Bastida. This Spanish producer has a pure talent for the dark arts of techno and tech house, with a loyal following of artists including Richie Hawtin, Umek, and more. Learning ourselves about this artist through one of our favorite techno and tech house podcasts, Operandi Radio, Miguel’s sound is crave-worthy and worth the indulgence.
Techno is a difficult genre to perfect; a repetitive style of music has to hook the listener in at first bite. In this case, Miguel gives us no choice but to be pulled under his heavy spell, and oh, how it tantalizes our ear-waves. Also boasting a label Be One Records which is now hosted on Beatport, Miguel Bastida is quickly rising as an underground techno lord and deserves all the praise he can get.

This may come as no surprise to those who are into the heaviest of bass genres. Moody Good, a London/Chicago native with a truckload of bass in tow, is ever-amazing dance music listeners with the heavy-handed productions like his latest EP eight months ago. Most recently, Moody Good took on Yogi featuring Pusha T, taking the hip hop original from pretty bad-ass to full-blown BAMF status. This remix comes in just in time for all things dark and heavy taking form, and let’s face it: Fall doesn’t mean we turn down anything but ill-worthy tunes. Keep Moody Good and all of OWSLA on your radar this haunted season, and if you’re new to Moody Good, let us welcome you with Burial.
Catch Moody Good at Foundation Nightclub on November 10th!

While LoftyLows likes to take an incognito approach of artistry, one thing is certain: The music does all the speaking for itself. Dishing out rainy day heartbreak sounds and supreme chill-out session material, LoftyLows is an artist to watch for in this particular melodramatic style. Raw to the core with emotion, LoftyLows’ remixes have made their way into the Soundcloud streams, including our favorite Lykke Li remix, as well as quite a few fall-ready originals.
If you like what you hear then keep a close eye – especially since we’ve seen hints of an EP in the near future. “Find the Highs in the Lows” is the one and only mantra behind LoftyLows’ musical mentality, and who says Cloud 9 isn’t grey and misty? This may just be the perfect fall-in-the-Northwest element.
