If you're a fan of electronic music you have to listen to this guy. I was surprised to find little mention of him on here, perhaps because he has his own genre - High Tech Minimal.

You can find him on all of the streaming sites, but here's a couple of his most popular sets:

Every track seems to be well curated - there's very little that I don't like which I can't say for other artists. There's so much crossover between genres and subgenres in the electronic music scene nowadays it can be hard to define some of it. I think Boris has a unique sound though which is difficult to achieve. He's been around for over a decade but I think the Tomorrowland set helped him a lot.

I first discovered his music dubbed over old Disney cartoons - here's one here laugh

I think I've listened to a little bit of every artist you've listed. Hozho is a personal favourite. Deniz Bul and Theydream are worth a mention too. There's a few by them on the FC KING SERIOUS label.

Thanks for posting... not quite my music (jazz is my thing), but I enjoyed it all the same.

I'm always given goosebumps when I see concerts in ancient amphitheatres - it's the perfect use for them, but also mildly unsettling when you know their history. I was in Nîmes earlier this year as it happens.

I'd love to see a concert in an amphitheatre.... closest I get is Eden (which is really fabulous)... venues make such a difference to the atmosphere and sound.

Cercle has quite a few sets on youtube in places like this. Absolutely stunning to watch.

As for Boris Brejcha, I am a huge fan and quite sad I recently missed him at Electric Brixton. His Christmas mix is out on Sunday so looking forward to that. Something about how we can keep a song interesting for 7/8/9 minutes and keep adding more to it. Really something amazing to listen to!

My favourite set by far:
Boris Brejcha (Germany) /Techno/ ► Live DJ Mix @ Pioneer DJ TV

Me too - I've never been to one, but would love to as well. Without getting too heavy deep and real, the same humans enjoying different entertainment as they did 2,000 years ago is quite a thing.

I understand why he does it, but still not a fan of any DJ who hides behind a mask. See also Deadmaus and Marshmello.

My taste in music is fairly eclectic but has changed a lot over the years. Jazz bars are classy compared to most other places.

It looks like it's just a bit of branding, but he was severely burned in the Ramstein air show disaster.
