Godspeed by Tekno & DJ TH: A Sonic Punch to the Gut
Alright, let’s get real here. If you’re into Trance or Progressive Trance, Godspeed by Tekno & DJ TH is one of those albums that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. Released back in 2018 under Germany’s Entrancing Music label, this thing hits like a freight train. It’s not just music—it’s an experience. And yeah, it’s got layers. Five tracks total, but don’t expect filler crap; every version of “Godspeed” brings something raw and punchy to the table.
First up, the Original Mix—this sucker slaps HARD. Right off the bat, you’re hit with these pulsing beats that feel like they’re drilling straight into your chest. The build-up? Insane. You can tell Tekno and DJ TH didn’t half-ass this one—they went full throttle. By the time the drop hits, you’re already losing your mind. This isn’t background noise for sipping lattes at some hipster café—it’s fuel for losing yourself on the dancefloor. I remember blasting this track late at night, windows down, volume cranked so high my neighbors probably wanted to kill me. Worth it.
Then there’s the Derek Palmer Remix, which flips the script entirely. Where the Original Mix is all about brute force energy, Derek takes it somewhere darker, more hypnotic. The bassline throbs like a heartbeat, and the synths spiral out in ways that make your brain buzz. Honestly, this remix stuck with me because it feels dangerous, like stepping into a rave where anything could happen. It’s moody as hell but still keeps that driving momentum. When the breakdown hits around the three-minute mark, good luck not getting goosebumps. That moment alone makes the whole album worth it.
Look, I ain’t gonna lie—this album ain’t perfect. Some people might call it repetitive, but screw them. Repetition’s kinda the point in Trance, right? It’s supposed to pull you deeper, keep you locked in. And damn if Godspeed doesn’t do exactly that.
Here’s the kicker though: listening to this album made me realize how rare it is to find electronic music that actually feels. Most stuff these days is polished to death, sterile as a hospital room. But Tekno & DJ TH? They brought grit, emotion, and fire. Makes me wonder what they’d sound like live—if they ever toured, I’d sell a kidney to be there.
So yeah, check out Godspeed. Just don’t blame me when it ruins other playlists for you.
