Derrick May proved that machines could cry. Through Transmat and records that still stop rooms cold, he fused raw drum programming with melodies that feel like midwestern weather — sudden, beautiful, unforgettable.
On 313 LIVE, May’s presence in the playlist is a reminder: techno isn’t only about BPM and distortion. It’s about feeling something true at 3 a.m. When those strings lift out of the mix, the whole city seems to answer back.
Keep listening live — and dig our artist series for more of the people who built this sound.
