MSTRKRFT Debut Techno Track “Buffalo Fat” With Mixed Results

Techno is officially becoming mainstream. Labels like Drumcode and DirtyBird have helped the genre become accessible, and the techno formula is being cracked down to a science. Booming bass. Hi-hats on hi-hats. Occasional melodies. Did I mention booming bass?

The latest production team to try techno out for a ride? MSTRKRFT. The duo have released their techno track “Buffalo Fat” for their new label ORO Records. It released last Friday, and our impressions are….mixed.

The track does everything right: the production is crisp and all the sounds are well mastered and engineered. Yet, it comes out feeling cold. It’s a perfect track to play at the peak of an Ultra Megastructure set, designed for massive speakers. It’d make a good fit at any techno set at a major music festival, really. But, throw this in a playlist of top techno tracks and it becomes just another track in the crowd. It feels temporary, a surprise given the duo’s timeless music from the past.

We’re curious to see if MSTRKRFT continues down this techno trail, and if they do, we hope to hear a bit more variety and innovation next time.
