BTM0006 - VA - F_X_M_X_L_Y

The compilation features 7 tracks by several artists who have helped grow the Black Techno Matters platform into what it is today and contains a wide range of musical styles: the hard-hitting techno of Stukes, the sinister bass of Blvksite, the bumping electro of Diyanna Monet, the expansive ambient soundscapes of Smoke & Tea, and the energetically abstract drum programming of BTM founder B_X_R_N_X_R_D.

BLACK TECHNO MATTERS
Black Techno Matters is a collective whose mission is to reclaim techno as a manifestation of Black expression in a society that has oppressed it by creating spaces, both virtual and IRL, that celebrate the black roots of techno. An assertion and a reminder that Techno IS Black. It was started in October 2019 when its founder, Bernard Farley, did a google search for “Black techno artists” and was disappointed with the lack resources highlighting black techno artists, especially considering that techno is a genre invented by three black teenagers in a suburb of Detroit, Michigan (The Belleville Three). Since then Black Techno Matters has highlighted hundreds of black electronic music artists through its robust Instagram Take Over series (where black artists highlight other black artists on a daily basis), spotify playlists, radio mix series, livestreams, outdoor events such as the Techno in the Park series, and most recently Liber8 US, a historic Juneteenth event spanning 7 cities and involving over 40 artists from across the country.
