Melbourne Techno Collective

Seth Troxler has continued his recent rise to fame, with the notorious party animal and wild child DJ/Producer throwing down the latest edition of BPitch Control’s Boogybytes mix series. Boogybytes Vol 5 - which hit stores last week – features an amazing collection of tunes from the likes of Luciano, Mike Shannon, Alexi Delano, Hearthrob & Fever Ray and the MTC’s Sabine Brix took the opportunity to give it a spin.

The fifth version of Boogybytes doesn’t really pack a punch until a few cuts in – then it really finds its groove, which is more akin to the refined tweakings of previous volumes.
Troxler starts off with jazz-infused house tracks but picks up the tempo with Spectrum’s Freakbox, which exudes twisted, minimal flavours, courtesty of Minimalist Man himself, Mr Hawtin.
Not straying far from the M_nus family, Heartthrob’s Signs, remixed by Troxler, is undoubtedly the standout for Vol.05, peppered with downright dirty, funky breaks, whilst Fever Ray’s Seven also gets transformed into a dark tech-house ditty.
Troxler proves that an outsider – he is the first DJ to mix the compilation, not from the label – is just as much a contender as the label mates who spun before him.
