Beatport Insider: Top-Selling Techno Tracks, Artists, and Labels (Jan. 2023)
With Beatport Insider, we dig into key stats from the Beatport store each month. This time, we look at the artists and labels that dominated our Techno sales and streaming charts for the past six months.
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.
