Township Rebellion has taken over my “Instrumental Beats“ Spotify playlist. The German DJ and producer duo selected ten of their own tracks for a focused mix of melodic techno, tech house, and driving instrumental electronic music.
This Township Rebellion playlist takeover is built for listeners who want electronic tracks with movement and detail, without vocals taking over the arrangement. The selections lean into rolling percussion, tense synth lines, melodic passages, and the kind of gradual development that works well in a late-night DJ set.
Township Rebellion are two DJs and producers from southern Germany. Their electronic music sits between Tech House and Melodic Techno, though the tracks often avoid the easy formulas of either genre. A beat may stay firm and functional while the melodies shift slowly above it. The result is club music that rewards a close listen as much as it supports a dance floor.
The duo started in 2012. Since then, Township Rebellion tracks have appeared in the Beatport charts, and they have released music through Stil vor Talent, Filth on Acid, Suara, Steyoyoke, Katermukke, and Parquet Recordings. Those labels cover different corners of house and techno, which suits a project that moves between darker, more melodic material and direct club tracks.
Their live schedule has also taken them to festivals and clubs in several countries. Previous appearances include Strawberry Fields, Fusion Festival, Watergate, Kater Blau, EGG London, De Marktkantine, Kafes, and Noisily. That touring history makes sense when listening to this selection: these are tracks arranged with patience, but they do not drift.
For fans of melodic techno playlists, Township Rebellion’s catalog is worth exploring beyond the obvious peak-time moments. The music has weight, but it is not relentlessly severe. There is room for atmosphere and release, especially in tracks such as “Aphrodite,” “Dolores,” and “Liquid Green.” Some listeners will hear a tech house pulse in the low end; others will focus on the melodic tension. Both readings fit.
“Instrumental Beats” is a playlist for electronic music without vocal hooks at the center. It is useful for focused work, long drives, headphone listening, or a warm-up set that needs more character than background music. Township Rebellion’s choices give the playlist a darker edge while keeping the groove clear.

If Spotify is not your preferred streaming service, the Deezer, YouTube, and SoundCloud versions make it easy to hear the same “Instrumental Beats” playlist elsewhere. Each platform suits a different listening habit, but the music remains the point: Township Rebellion’s original productions, played in a concise sequence.
Takeover tracklist
The takeover tracklist contains ten Township Rebellion productions. It stays entirely with the duo’s own music rather than mixing in tracks from other artists, so it gives a clear sense of their approach to melodic techno.
Township Rebellion – Aphrodite
Township Rebellion – Dolores
Township Rebellion – The Sioux – Original Mix
Township Rebellion – Elevant – Original
Township Rebellion – Charlotte
Township Rebellion – Monocloque
Township Rebellion – Challenger
Township Rebellion – Liquid Green – Original Mix
Township Rebellion – Moses
Township Rebellion – The Review
There is a useful consistency across these tracks, but they are not interchangeable. “Challenger” and “The Review” carry a tougher forward push, while “Charlotte” and “Moses” leave more space for melody and atmosphere. That variation keeps the playlist from feeling like a stack of similar DJ tools.
Township Rebellion – Fusion Festival, Turmbühne 2018
This Fusion Festival set from the Turmbühne gives a longer view of Township Rebellion in a live context. Their recorded tracks are carefully arranged, and a festival performance changes the scale: transitions have more room, the pace can build over time, and the crowd becomes part of the energy.
Fusion Festival has a reputation for long sets and open-minded electronic music crowds, which makes it a fitting setting for the duo’s sound. The video is also a practical starting point for anyone who has found Township Rebellion through this Spotify playlist and wants to hear how their music works outside a short tracklist.
Upcoming shows
These Township Rebellion tour dates were announced for August and September 2019. The schedule includes German festivals, club dates in Switzerland, and a London appearance at Steelyard.
10 Aug 2019: SonneMondSterne Festival, Saalburg, Germany
16 Aug 2019: Bucht der Träumer Festival, Helenesee Berlin, Germany
17 Aug 2019: Echelon Festival, Bad Aibling, Germany

21 Sept 2019: Viertel, Basel, Switzerland
27 Sept 2019: Gaskessel, Bern, Switzerland
28 Sept 2019: Silodom, Saarbrücken, Germany
The dates show the balance between festival bookings and smaller indoor rooms that many electronic acts rely on. A festival audience may first encounter a track in the middle of a loud set; a club date gives the DJ more time to let a groove settle. Township Rebellion’s music can handle either situation.

Township Rebellion fits naturally into an instrumental electronic music playlist because the productions do not depend on a vocal refrain or a quick drop. They develop through rhythm, texture, and melodic pressure. Start with this takeover, then follow the tracks that stay with you after the playlist ends.
