  • Boiler Room is legendary in the european electronic realm for putting the DJ in the audience and letting you see and hear a legit party. I've included some of the most famous boiler room sets below. They're all great, and all a little bit different. The 3 guys will be quite a bit different from MJC's, as she plays house/ tech house at a day party, while the other 3 are 100% tech at night in Berlin.

    Maya Jane Coles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB_rlsF83u4
    lighter, summery, chill vibe
    NW review: I liked the style of the music she was playing more than that of the Vath and Klock sets below (the music she was playing was less repetitive and had more vocals).  The track that starts ~8:12 is great.  The track at 50:00 is great.  54:00 is pretty good.  The track at 57:54 is great.

    Sven Vath (Papa Sven) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uInltd4OkTQ
    classics, all vinyl, groovy fun
    NW review: It was alright, I would say this was maybe a little better than the Ben Klock set (below).  It has the same issue of being very repetitive and having few vocals.  But there were some good tracks.  I really like the track that comes in at 14:10, it has a great turn at 15:57.  The track at 58:59 isn't too bad.  1:26:25 has potential.

    Ben Klock (arguably biggest name in the world right now) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGWL7YI_2rI
    minimal, bit more intense, light industrial
    NW review: it was alright, it did help me stay in the zone while coding but I wouldn't listen to it while working out, it wasn't as energetic as a Magic tape, it was more of a hypnotic / repetitive sound with a heavy use of deep bass which obviously doesn't come across as well through headphones.  It fairly sparse in its use of sounds, and I don't think there were any vocals.  Also the left/right balance in the recording was off a lot of the time.  I do think it was good enough that I wouldn't walk out if I was there in-person.z

    melodic and heavy, going for a deeper feel

    Let me know what you guys think. If you gravitate towards one, I can probably recommend many others. They all have dozens of full 1-3 hour sets all over the internet. If I just want to be heads down working for a while, this stuff is 100% my goto.

    If you want something really heavy with some great swedish podcast commentary, this is one of my all time favorite recorded mixes: https://soundcloud.com/adambeyer/dcr212-drumcode-radio-live-pan-pot-studio-mix

    4 hours of 2 of the best. little more chill than the techno stuff. https://soundcloud.com/platform/dixon-me-4-hours-boiler-room-x really good quality too
