Total 26

The new Total compilation lands right on cue and reminds us why this series still matters. It opens with DJ Hotline’s Xtasy, a bright, euphoric start from the rising Cologne-based producer.

Orlando Voorn delivers a stunning So Deep Remix, while Frankey and Sandrino return with the expansive Disruption. Tee Mango brings his tender melancholy, and Team 85E, newly formed around Jorg Burger, rework a classic by Ton, Steine, Scherben.

Michael Mayer salutes the Artemis 2 lunar mission with love at the centre, and SOG, aka Wolfgang Voigt, keeps it beautifully simple. Robag Wruhme heads down the rabbit hole, Jurgen Paape and Fenja Ludwig shape a fresh dub-techno moment, and Reinhard Voigt closes things in laid-back style.
