From Rivera's Groove Box #168: Mystic Jungle - Mystic Beast



What a great track from an even greater mini-album: 'Terror From The Deep'. Lo-fi and flat sounding deep and dark techno. Loads of acid flavored tracks. Altogether six very different styled tracks, but all with that grimy cassette-mastered feel. But it's on vinyl! Let the vampire mermaids attack and devour or flesh.

From Rivera's Groove Box #167: The Other People Place - Sorrow & A Cup Of Joe



What a great track from Detroit. Done by one half of the now legendary underground Detroit electro duo Drexciya. Heard this in a party recently. Had to go and ask the DJ what was he playing, because I didn't know the tune. He only replied me 'Detroit', stoned as he was. But I managed to find this track somehow!

From Rivera's Groove Box #166: Legowelt - Institute Of The Overmind



I had a terrible morning today. Nothing went as I planned and hoped will turn out. So I just started listening to music. There's something in this track which just cheered me up a bit. I think it's because this track is just so well produced. Really, Legowelt has been putting other house and techno producers to shame since the the 1990s. You can watch the video of making this track here: How To Make A Legowelt Track

From Rivera's Groove Box #165: Mall Grab - Can't (Get U Outta My Mind)



Yeah, that's an Alicia Keys sample. Great lo-fi grooves from Mall Grab. This is a good example how you can create an atmosphere in a track with overdrive and distortion.

From Rivera's Groove Box #163: Hüpnosaurus - Always In 'N' Out



Some great lo-fi garage house grooves, with an outsider feeling. Rescued from some 1990's tapes of an underground Estonian techno and electronic music production group, Hüpnosaurus. Released by the amazing Ukranian label Wicked Bass recordings.
