Okain Curates 21-Track Digged on Volumo #1 2026 Minimal-Deep Tech Mix
AI-generated illustration

Track 1 — The Okain curatorial frame Okain’s page, titled "Digged on Volumo #1 2026" and explicitly credited as "compiled by Okain," is published with the date 04 March 2026 and described as a 21-track, roughly two-hour selection that crosses Minimal / Deep Tech, Deep House, House, UK Garage and Microhouse. That description is the only track-level fact supplied for the Okain mix in the fragments I worked from, so this section anchors the piece: Okain is the named compiler, the post carries that exact title, and its scope is stated in those five genres.

    Malin Genie — Can't Stop (Original Mix)

    The Volumo "Focus" excerpt lists Malin Genie’s Can't Stop (Original Mix) with precise metadata: 09 Jan 2026 • BQDDIG003, Minimal / Deep Tech, 134 BPM • E major • 4:44. If you care about mixing keys and energy, that 134 BPM/E major pairing is a proper opener or peak insertion for a tight minimal set; Volumo includes it in the Feb "Focus" block that claims 36 tracks (3h 55m).

    Troy Slatts — Time (Original Mix)

    Troy Slatts appears next in the excerpt with One Records release 15 Jan 2026 • ONE061, tagged Minimal / Deep Tech at 130 BPM • G minor • 5:47. That 130 BPM/G minor combination sits squarely in the deep-tech lane where you can nudge tempo without wrecking key compatibility, and the One Records catalog number ONE061 is an exact detail to reference when hunting promos.

    Respect The Craft — Time (Original Mix)

    Respect The Craft’s Time (Original Mix) is listed as 16 Jan 2026 • RTCE04 with 128 BPM • A♭ major • 7:02. Note the curious duplication of the title "Time (Original Mix)" across two different artists in the fragment — both Troy Slatts and Respect The Craft appear with identically-named originals; treat them as distinct releases based on the explicit catalog numbers and dates provided.

    Silat Beksi — Sleepless Nights (Original Mix)

    Silat Beksi’s Sleepless Nights (Original Mix) appears with Silat Beksi Music metadata: 13 Jan 2026 • SBM038, Minimal / Deep Tech, 126 BPM • A minor • 7:07. That sub-127 BPM pocket and A minor key make it useful for slow-building minimal sets; the SBM038 catalog is the concrete release handle you'll need to track down the original pressing or digital drop.

    Kolter — Close Your Eyes

    Kolter’s Close Your Eyes is shown on Berg Audio with catalog 30 Jan 2026 • BERGADGTL26P1, Minimal / Deep Tech, 130 BPM • C♯ minor • 7:39. Berg Audio’s longer groove here (7:39) and C♯ minor tonality point to a track built for extended DJ phrasing — the explicit duration suggests where you can carve transitions in a two-hour mix.

    Detlef — CHAMP (Original Mix)

    The excerpt lists Detlef — CHAMP (Original Mix) but the label line reads "Detlef Issues [...] Minimal / Deep Tech" with an ellipsis indicating truncated metadata; tempo/key/duration are explicit: 126 BPM • B minor • 8:08. Preserve that literal "Issues [...]" fragment: it flags missing label/catalog detail in the excerpt while the 8:08 runtime and 126 BPM are precise mixing facts you can plan against.

    Brian Stanley — I'm Feeling Something (Original Mix)

    Brian Stanley’s I'm Feeling Something (Original Mix) arrives with Dushe Label metadata: 23 Jan 2026 • DUSHEL241, Minimal / Deep Tech, 130 BPM • B♭ minor • 5:41. That catalog DUSHEL241 and the B♭ minor key are clean facts for crate management; at 130 BPM and under six minutes, it’s a sharp mover for a midpoint bump in a two-hour set.

    Andres Shockwave — Morning Pages (Original Mix)

    Andres Shockwave’s Morning Pages is listed on BienAimer Music: 23 Jan 2026 • BAD071, Minimal / Deep Tech, 129 BPM • A minor • 5:42. The label and BAD071 cataloging are explicit; 129 BPM/A minor makes this track a subtle bridge between deeper and slightly more percussive selections in a minimal/deep-tech flow.

    dj sidequest — C'est Toi (Extended Mix)

    The Volumo excerpt explicitly tags dj sidequest’s C'est Toi (Extended Mix) to GROOVECUTZ, 23 Jan 2026 • GCUTZ002, with Microhouse specified and 128 BPM • A minor • 6:30. This is one of the few entries explicitly marked Microhouse in the block; the GCUTZ002 catalog and the 128 BPM groove tell you exactly how this fits into more dubby or swung pockets of a set.

    Keny G — 97 Sounds Better (Monaks Remix)

    Keny G’s entry is 97 Sounds Better (Monaks Remix) on Afterme, 13 Jan 2026 • DAM41, Minimal / Deep Tech, 129 BPM • E minor • 6:33. The remix credit (Monaks Remix) and the Afterme catalog DAM41 are explicit; use that E minor/129 BPM pairing when lining up harmonic transitions with tracks in similar minor keys.

    Federico D'Anchini — In Time (Original Mix)

    Federico D'Anchini’s In Time (Original Mix) is listed under Layers of Truth records, 23 Jan 2026 • LOT009, Minimal / Deep Tech, 128 BPM • F major • 6:16. LOT009 and the F major key are precise identifiers. Its six-minute run-time and major-key tonality offer a rare bright moment amid otherwise minor-key-heavy listings.

    Jadez (ES) — Shape to the Future

    Jadez (ES) appears with a multi-line, somewhat garbled fragment: Shape to the Future, Picnic Day Music, 23 Jan 2026, followed by "Minimal / Deep Tech [...] Music_Space1" and a second line "10 Jan 2026 • MS1047." Preserve both explicit lines — the excerpt shows both "23 Jan 2026" and "10 Jan 2026 • MS1047" as literal fragments and flags a metadata inconsistency or truncation in the source.

    Matheiu — Awakenes (Original Mix)

    Matheiu’s Awakenes (Original Mix) appears with Rockets Audio (Berlin) metadata: 16 Jan 2026 • EYEAM007, Minimal / Deep Tech, 127 BPM • F minor • 7:25. That EYEAM007 catalog and the 127 BPM/F minor combo are explicit — a slightly slower pocket and long runtime make it a good candidate for shaping a breakdown or extended loop.

    Viot — Fyrah

    Viot’s Fyrah is listed on Moan, 16 Jan 2026 • MOAN252, Minimal / Deep Tech, 128 BPM • C♯ minor • 6:52. MOAN252 and the 128/C♯ minor pairing are exact; a near-seven-minute track at 128 BPM is the kind of piece you drop when you want sustained tension without increasing tempo.

    Rych G — A Being From Hadar (Original Mix)

    Rych G’s A Being From Hadar (Original Mix) shows STM catalog 16 Jan 2026 • STM078, Minimal / Deep Tech, 129 BPM • C major • 6:56. The C major key and STM078 are the facts to note; a nearly seven-minute C major tune offers a harmonic reset you can leverage before moving back into minor modes.

    Emiliano Leonel — Flirty Loops (Original Mix)

    Emiliano Leonel’s Flirty Loops (Original Mix) is on Paille Records, 16 Jan 2026 • PAI021, Minimal / Deep Tech, 125 BPM • G minor • 5:18. At 125 BPM this is one of the slower explicit tempos in the excerpt, and the PAI021 catalog is concrete. Its five-minute runtime and groove make it useful for a down-tempo passage inside the two-hour DJ arc.

    Snad — Faith In Numbers

    Snad’s Faith In Numbers is listed with Brouqade metadata: 09 Jan 2026 • BQDDIG002, Minimal / Deep Tech, 130 BPM • D minor • 6:16. BQDDIG002 is a sibling catalog to the Malin Genie entry BQDDIG003, so those two Brouqade catalog numbers are explicit cross-checks in the excerpt. The D minor/130 BPM profile is a solid peak tool.

    Alvaro Medina — Monday Disco (Original Mix)

    Alvaro Medina’s Monday Disco (Original Mix) appears with Velvet: 19 Jan 2026 • Velvet04, Minimal / Deep Tech, 126 BPM • B minor • 8:08. That Velvet04 catalog and the extended 8:08 duration are explicit; an 8-minute B minor track is clearly structured for long DJ phrasing or a closing segment.

Volumo Focus metadata and anomalies Alongside Okain’s March 4 listing, Volumo published a distinct "Focus: Best Microhouse, Minimal / Deep Tech February 2026" block credited to "Volumo team" / "By Volumo" and stamped Published:01 Feb 2026; the block header explicitly states "36 tracks (3h 55m)" and includes UI strings like "Select multiple" and "Volumo: PreordersChartsArtistsLabels." The supplied excerpt contains 18 explicit track entries even though the focus block claims 36 tracks; that mismatch and several truncated lines (for example "Detlef Issues [...] Minimal / Deep Tech" and Jadez’s split metadata) are preserved as literal anomalies from the source.

Missing Okain tracklist and what to verify next Crucially, the supplied fragments do not include the full 21-track list for "Digged on Volumo #1 2026" — the only explicit Okain-level facts are the title, the "compiled by Okain" credit, the 04 March 2026 publication date, the 21-track/roughly two-hour description, and the cross-genre scope. The Volumo "Focus" block is a separate Volumo item dated 01 Feb 2026 with 36 tracks (3h 55m) and contains 18 explicit entries in the excerpt; the remainder of the 36-track list and the actual 21 tracks on Okain’s Digged page are not present in the supplied material and should be pulled from the full Volumo pages for definitive track-level reporting.

Final note — why this matters for DJs and diggers You can treat the metadata above as actionable: exact release dates, catalog numbers (ONE061, BQDDIG003, DUSHEL241, etc.), BPMs, keys and runtimes are all explicit facts you can use to source promos, plan harmonic mixes, or map the two-hour curve Okain promises. The red flags — the 36-track claim vs. 18 listed entries, the garbled Detlef and Jadez lines, and the absence of Okain’s own 21-track listing in these fragments — are the precise verification steps you want to resolve before calling the mix complete in crate notes or a set plan.
