Hi Joe,
You can contact Emily Rush, who shares her Google drive link with folks to use for calling
techno contras.
I’ve called a techno contra recently using a couple of her tunes as well as slowing down
the BPM on some EDM music I found online (Spotify, Apple Music, etc)
There are amazing DJs who have made some fun dance mixes and many of them are square
tunes. I counted them out to be sure for mine.
I also got some tunes from Caller DJ Noah Grunzweig in Portland OR. And a recording from
a zoom techno contra that M’Gilvry Allen did for our Zoom NYE 2020.
Good luck!
Claire Takemori
