This Is Octave One Playlist on Spotify

Detroit techno comes straight from the source in This Is Octave One, Spotify’s essential-tracks playlist for Octave One.

Highlights include “Blackwater – 128 full strings vocal mix”, “Gallium – Edit”, “Nicolette” and “Modernism”. Random Noise Generation, Karina Mia, Ann Saunderson and Paul Woolford also feature. Also worth a spin: “The Forgotten” by Octave One and “Price We Pay – Mothership Remix” by Octave One, Karina Mia. Recurring names include Afrika Pratt-Ansa and Various Artists.

It is soulful, melodic and futuristic, a good fit for late-night listening, focused work or a deep warm-up. There are 50 tracks and 5 hours 54 minutes in the collection. Put it on when you want one artist’s identity carried across a whole session, from the first kick to the last fade.

Detroit soul, strings and machines.
