While the compilation series tended to focus on up-and-coming artists, this one goes through the label’s history to pull their powerhouses. To name a few right off the bat, you’ll find tracks by ATTLAS, BlackGummy, Fehrplay, Matt Lange, No Mana, Wolfgang Gartner, and Zonderling. That’s obviously not all, as the entire body of work brings together names of that caliber.

Kicking off ‘we are friends vol. 10’ is deadmau5 through ‘Arguru 2k19‘, a newly forged version of the classic off random album title. Following, ‘Feels Like‘ by ATTLAS features the immense talents of Colleen D’agostino, and bringing the artists together offered us a tepid and tranquil track filled with intimate textures.

Throughout its run, mau5trap’s we are friends series has been a point of reference for much of the community surrounding the imprint. Whether it’s bringing new artists to the table or calling back on the old, it offers a body in which any of the aforementioned can co-exist. Taking that into consideration, the compilations evidently placed a wide array of artists on our radar, making it a staple for both artists and the community.

Lastly, listen to the ‘we are friends vol. 10’ compilation by mau5trap below!

The track itself is a techno masterpiece if I’ve ever heard one. The retro sounding synths exude a dramatic and epic groove, where the drums boldly beat. His synth work is impeccable here, reminding you of major club vibes. This song will make you dance and even though we can’t right now, you’ll envision yourself dancing to this. We miss those sultry low lights strobing on the dance floor.

Solomun masters his music, highlighting different shades, moments, and memories. Making people dance is what he does, and his emotion evoking tunes cast a spell through his performances. His energy is infectious, drawing in crowds like a moth to a flame.

As for the upcoming collection, it’ll recognize all that techno has evolved from. In the beginning, it started with an early rave techno sound in the late 80s. Through time, it expanded to include a wide range of styles. The 6 x 12″ box set will pay homage to one of techno’s finest operations. It will feature the likes of Rampa, Emanuel Satie, Solomun, Gregor Tresher, Pig & Dan, Joseph Ashworth, and more.

Jacek Sienkiewicz, Andre Galluzzi, and Daniel Stefanik bring on the dark side of techno. Extrawelt, Petar Dundov, and Sebastian Mullaert give us the soulful, melodic, and magical side. Say no more synths, we’re ready for it. They’re taking techno in a bold, new direction so get ready.

For now, listen to the first track of the collection below.

The songs found in the album themselves have a diverse profile yet sink into the collective beautifully. They smoothly build off one another and continue the darkened album theme with a variety of sounds that keeps you wanting more. The songs run quite long but honestly, like a good film, you don’t notice the runtime. You just notice the structure and level of craft in those methodical choices. You enjoy it truly as a listener but also appreciate it at the same time as a musician or artist.

The song that stands out for me most; while in all fairness, I adore every single one of these tracks, has to be ‘Traces.’ Its got a really beautiful shadow of a melody that carries it throughout. The track still has a visceral theme to it, but there’s almost a redemption or hope in the melody while all these other vast and guttural elements play through. It’s a beautiful track and it really stood out to me.

The EP overall is a well-rounded kaleidoscope of darkness that with each twist, shows there’s more than what meets the surface. I can’t wait to hear what else Pig & Dan have in store for us!

If you’re a fan of techno and darker tech, do give this a listen. It’s a brilliant example of the technical side of the craft.

Tracks 1-5

‘Here’s The Drop’ kicks off with Morgan Page remixing ‘imaginary friends‘. Morgan opted for a plucky and pulled vibrant sound allowing the orchestral elements to remain underlying. From there, Tinlicker deliver a more spacious sound on ‘luxuria‘, combining their style while giving the original elements their own space. Right after, Gregory Reveret turns down the energy with a calming remix of ‘coelacanth‘. Specifically, the production focuses on an ambient energy infusing light percussive elements. Rinzen then strikes with his moody and percussive remix of ‘acedia‘ marking his second official deadmau5 remix. Trailing, Seismal D takes a deep tone on ‘avaritia‘ emphasizing filtering bass synths with delicate bubbling leads.

Tracks 6-10

Up next on ‘Here’s The Drop’ is Sian‘s delivery of a pulsating remix of ‘monophobia‘. Notably, it utilizes the orchestral parts significantly less than previous remixes as the producer focuses on his own sound. In continuation, Pig & Dan infuse their rhythmic techno sound with harmonious orchestral breaks. This provides a melancholic contrast on the production within their remix of ‘gula‘. Being one of the standout remixes, No Mana puts an exceptional spin on ‘invidia‘. The remix transitions phases through a warping glitchy cut pushing into an alluring scaling piano. Overall, the cuts warping the remix through the original and new elements provide a striking uniqueness. Siding by it, Mad Zach arranges a padded remix for ‘unjaded‘. Crunched pads, leads, a bottoming bass and minimal percussion show a progressive pulled sound. Following, Gallya spins break-beats with acidic-esque synths and a punchy percussion on ‘ira‘ topped by a succeeding lead.

Tracks 11-15

Going into the final 5 tracks, Spencer Brown‘s previously released remix of ‘fn pig‘ takes its turn. Moving from that, Mr. Bill stands out through his remix of the beloved ‘hr 8938 cephei‘. On it, the producer accentuates the contrasting eerie breakdowns and his prominent glitchy sections. Showcasing what might be a favorite on the record, Matt Lange gives us a remix of ‘superbia‘. If you’re not familiar, Matt commonly works around orchestral and live elements, so it comes as no surprise that he did an outstanding job as usual. The remix offers a magnetizing feeling with the compelling orchestral elements drawing us in as the percussive side provides movement. Onwards, Dom Kane puts an infectious and dancey spin on ‘caritas’ while maintaining orchestral euphoric breaks. Concluding ‘Here’s The Drop’ is none other than PEEKABOO a remix of ‘Strobe‘. The production clearly keeps the source material close to heart.

Final Words

It’s a pleasure to hear all these producers put their own take on an orchestral piece of music. Each remix allowed every individual’s style and sound to shine in its own way. ‘Here’s The Drop’ comes amidst deadmau5 touring his Cube v3, and you can find some of the remixers here on the road with him too.
