![Joachim Spieth – Textures [Sound Library]](https://musicyouneedtohear.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/a0665602549_16.jpg)
Saturday afternoons tend to be a great time for me to let my mind wander a bit while I’m doing minor chores. This Saturday’s release comes from Joachim Spieth, DJ extraordinaire, remixer and owner of Affin Records, one of my favorite modern techno labels. This album is a departure from Continue Reading
David San – Frabulloso EP
Thanks to our dear friends at Colombia’s fine techno label, Miniline, for introducing us to the work of David San. This is a one-track release of danceable tech-house from a composer, whom I believe, works out of Colombia. There seems to be an amazingly active electronic music scene popping up, Continue Reading
Subact – Life EP
Subact are based out of Dresden, Germany, and are friends of myself and my former blog, A Miscellany Of Tasteful Music. They produce a very hyperactive electronic music sound, and the energy given out is dance-floor-friendly. As well as dubstep, one can hear ragga, jungle, and if you can believe Continue Reading

Sean Khan – Starchild
I came across Sean Khan’s work a couple of years ago when he paired up with Brazilian jazz legend Hermeto Pascoal on a phenomenal record called Palmares Fantasy. He’s back on his own a new Samba-infused track and a remix of it for your listening pleasure.

Rettward von Doernberg – Night Drive
Because this isn’t a Bandcamp release, and because I should be exploring more sites so that readers can enjoy an ever-widening array of music, I am happy to offer for your ears a track by Berlin-based composer (and an alum from the Musician’s Institute in my home town of Los Continue Reading
Manne Skafvenstedt – Archway
This was a happy surprise. Manne Skafvenstedt is a Swedish pianist, composer and producer who works in the fields of jazz, ambient, electronics and sound design. His latest album, Archway, is a calming experience. There is a sort of sweetness to this music, where the listener actually feels good enjoying Continue Reading
Yu Su – Yellow River Blue
Chinese-Canadian composer Yu Su produces an album that left me pleasantly surprised by. Though I found this download under “ambient” music, it turns out that it may have more to do with the motorik music of Neu! quietly subdued by elements of dub, dance music and wee touches of Chinese Continue Reading
