Deep Inside: December 2018’s must-hear house and techno playlist

With hundreds of records released each week, it’s difficult to keep track of what’s going on in dance music. Thankfully, FACT’s Deep Inside column is back in the form of a new playlist, delivering all of our favorite house, techno, electro, disco and rave tracks from the past month straight to your ears.

The end of the year is always one of the best times for new music, as labels rush to get those last albums and EPs out of the door before list season starts. This year has been no exception, with great LPs from Neville Watson, Deena Abdelwahed, Vester Koza and Peder Mannerfelt landing right at 2018’s close of business alongside EPs from Solid Blake, Erol Alkan, Shelley Parker and Parris.

Also on this month’s playlist: abstract electro from London Modular Alliance, deep, dubby techno from Beta Librae, “kitchen wave” from Kiki Kudo, blissed-out house from Ciel, D. Tiffany’s ethereal breakbeat, proper Detroit business from Waajeed and an ‘ardkore rinseout from The Higher, a new Shed alias on XL Recordings.

Listen to December’s picks via Spotify or Apple Music below and subscribe to the playlists to get fresh selections direct, every month.
