Beatport Insider: Top-Selling Techno Tracks, Artists, and Labels (Jan. 2023)

Dutch techno champion HI-LO kicks off 2023 on a high note as Beatport’s top-selling techno artist of the last six months, followed close behind by his French companion Space 92 — who previously held the title back in 2021 — with their collaborative tune “Mercury” taking the number one slot on the genre’s best-sellers list.

The track is followed by another HI-LO joint, “WANNA GO BANG,” the dance floor bomb he cooked up with DJ Deeon back in October of 2022, and Maddix’s peak-time acid excursion, “Heute Nacht.”

Adam Beyer’s Drumcode holds fast as techno’s most sought-after label, Reinier Zonneveld’s Filth On Acid takes the number two spot, and Christian Smith’s timeless Tronic imprint comes in at number three.
