Today’s roundup, EKM readers, is all about that dancefloor energy, as we bring you three excellent new tracks that cover a huge variety of the Rave music spectrum. There’s the Hard Acid Techno track Blood On Me by Michael Leathers on NEUROTECHNO, the Tech Trance release Nothing by Paul Denton on Dreamstate, and the Neo Rave tune OK on Headroom by Noro$t, ØSLO and DJ KINNER.
Michael Leathers’ “Blood On Me” Brings Hard Acid Techno Pressure at 150 BPM
First up on our list today is Blood On Me by Michael Leathers, a Hard Acid Techno track built around hypnotic tension and a cyberpunk attitude. Its 150 BPM pace gives the track a relentless, high-pressure feel, while the acid-led sound pushes it towards the darker end of the dancefloor. There’s no easing in gently here, as Leathers sets out to keep the energy moving using a driving Techno pulse alongside the track’s more unsettling edge. Released on NEUROTECHNO, the label founded by Leathers, it fits the imprint’s futuristic, industrial-leaning identity perfectly.

Paul Denton Blends Tech Trance With Peak-Time Techno Energy on “Nothing”
Paul Denton takes a more expansive approach on Nothing, weaving the atmosphere and uplift of Trance into a harder Tech framework. At 140 BPM, its rolling bass and thunderous kicks provide the forward motion, while arpeggiated builds and supersaw leads bring a euphoric lift. A spoken-word vocal helps connect those contrasting elements, giving the track a moment of space before it surges back into full-throttle territory. Released on Dreamstate, Nothing sits comfortably between Trance and the tougher energy of a peak-time Techno set.

Noro$t x ØSLO x DJ KINNER Fuse Techno, Trance and Neo Rave on “OK”
The final track on our list today is OK, which brings together Noro$t, ØSLO and DJ KINNER for a high-impact Neo Rave cut on Headroom. Its genre-spanning blend pulls from Techno and Trance while leaning into the unabashed intensity of rave. This is a track with big, bold club energy that has no interest in staying in one lane. The collaboration gives the track a collective feel, with its mix of styles making it a lively change of pace after the more atmospheric Tech Trance builds of Paul Denton – Nothing and the Hard Acid Techno of Michael Leathers – Blood on Me. Classified as Neo Rave, Hard House and Hard Dance, it’s aimed squarely at listeners who like their club tracks fast and full of momentum.
In this sense, taken together these three releases each bring a distinct flavor to the dancefloor, making for a varied roundup. Don’t forget, meanwhile, you can head to EKM.CO for more exciting Rave music and roundups!
