A symbol for quality techno music going back 15 years, Jay Lumen makes his solo EP debut on Drumcode.

A dance music journeyman with over 70 releases and a quality imprint Footwork Audio to his name, Jay Lumen’s solo debut EP on Adam Beyer’s label is richly deserved. The artist has been in standout form recently, most notably contributing ‘Galactic Rainbow’ to A-Sides Vol.10, one of the highlights of the compilation. We got our first taste of Lumen on Drumcode way back in 2012 when he teamed with Gary Beck for the rhythmic gem ‘Lotus’. Nine years on, his next EP offering doesn’t disappoint.

‘Returning’ is marked by crushing drumlines and shuffling beats, before gradually building into an emotional chord driven cut that looks hopefully towards the future. ‘Mind’ contrasts this perfectly, a loopy monster that rolls for days, evoking a distinct old skool spirit.
Speaking about the title track, Lumen explains: “I wrote ‘Returning’ when I was in a period of really missing techno and the party community. The physical contact with people at events, as well as on the streets and at venues before the shows. Hugs and interactions. I can already imagine playing this at the first open air after lockdown as the sun sets. This track is about the reunion and happiness we’re all going to share.”

Produced off the back of a profoundly inspiring trip to his homeland last year, Luigi Madonna crafts the pin-sharp ‘Italian Shocks’ EP. The Amsterdam-based artist is a key Drumcode contributor, who runs the label off the back of last year’s well-received collaborative EP ‘Mad World’ with Roberto Capuano. 

The title track is brain-spangling, industrial and brilliant, characterised by a suspenseful narrative, which is typical of Madonna’s creativity in the studio. ‘This is the Future’ is crisp and rolling, an intelligent tool for every set. ‘Enveloping Times’ is punchy and hypnotic, an immense transcendental belter ready to be unleashed this summer. ‘Interfrequencies’ is an exhilarating rush to the head, as a killer bass synth and piston-like drums for a rave-ready finish.

Unrilis is pleased to welcome back the almighty Bruno Aguirre for his third solo EP on the imprint called ‘Impacto’.

DJ and techno producer straight out from Mar Del Plata, one of Argentina’s most respected artists, Bruno has been one of the names leading the techno scene in Latin America with his driving, melodic and atmospheric sounds. He has been releasing massive techno music for the last six years on other respected labels such as Autektone Records, AnalyticTrail, Funk'n Deep Records just to name few.

Impacto opens the EP with a special vocal and lead sound that brings the old & modern techno sounds together. Shadow comes second on the list with a dark feeling and groovy percussion. Future follows the same pace as the other tracks with its dark kick and melodic sounds. Closing the EP is an intro track that builds the tension in the dance floor.

Soma Records is inarguably one of Techno's major forces in 2017 and since it’s inception on the streets of Glasgow, Soma Records has stood for uncompromising quality of the highest level in every area it operates. Label figureheads Slam formed the label in 1991 together with friends Glenn Gibbons & Dave Clarke and subsequently forged one of electronic music’s most widely known and well-respected labels. Soma quickly began to develop its own sound with classics such as Slam's timeless ‘Positive Education’ and helped launch the careers of many great artists like Surgeon, Envoy, Funk D’Void, Silicone Soul and Alex Smoke as well as the discovery of French duo Daft Punk who released their first rudimentary, raw outings on the label back in 1994.

With their eyes firmly fixed on a vision of the future, Soma began the quest to instil their unquenchable passion and thirst for electronic music onto the world around them.

Box Set:
Soma have enlisted the likes of Jeff Mills, Robert Hood, Steve Bicknell, Andrew Weatherall (appearing as Woodleigh Research Facility), Blawan, Adam Beyer and more to provide brand new musical excursions for today's dance floors and beyond. These, coupled with many of today's new, up and coming names in the techno genre like Kobosil, VRIL & Jonas Kopp choosing their favourite tracks from the Soma back catalogue to remix sees Soma’s futuristic vision remaining strong with the celebration of 25 years being one of a forward thinking nature rather than one of nostalgia.

Ostgut’s Kobosil brings Slam’s ‘Visions’ into the prevailing drone-ebbed world, the veiled VRIL douses the timeless X Track by Percy X in his dubbed out demeanour and Jonas Kopp’s EBM workout of another Slam classic, ‘Stepback’ creates the standpoint for the project: “Always forward, never back”. Jeff Mills’ provides otherworldly connections with ‘A Tale From The Parallel Universe’, Weatherall delivers future/retro acid and Josh Wink unleashes a 9min epic dance floor burner. Robert Hood provides a straight up, fast paced dance floor workout; all coming together to form the collective consciousness of the Soma attitude. Slam deliver ‘Tempest’, a track that perfectly sums up the whirlwind last few years the pair have enjoyed as they continue to be at the forefront of the global Techno elite. Completing the assemblage of original tracks is Soma’s own Funk D’Void, bringing his unique brand of jacked up electronics with ‘808 Planet’.

Visual Construct:
In accompaniment, Soma decided it was necessary to match the unique musical sensibilities displayed. This led to collaboration with Scottish artist Kyle Irvine. His highly detailed, powerful yet delicate illustration style is truly unique. Each design was handpicked by Soma especially for the box set, which features exclusive Soma 25 Logo stickers, a poster and illustrated vinyl sleeves. Each individual sleeve has its own story line with enigmatic characters including Lantern Man and Little Bo, who live in a dimension beyond our own. Look out for Kyle’s designs on the Soma25 remix singles and forthcoming, limited edition clothing lines produced in conjunction with Forty Clothing Glasgow.

Alberto Ruiz, Song writer, Producer, Arranger

Born in Palma de Mallorca on the 26th of May 1985

Alberto began playing as Resident Dj of the Ibiza weekend parties in the Mega club BCM located on the island of Mallorca. He was also the resident Dj for the IN nights in Titos Palma from 2006 to 2010 but had to stop as the Mallorcan Techno scene came to a halt because of the economic recession. This is when Alberto began to spend much more time in his studio, acquiring all types of classical synths and rhythm machines of brands like: Korg, Moog, Roland etc. in order to experiment and produce music at a professional level. In 2012 he decides to open his own record label called stick recordings which begins to build momentum in Beatport and hits its climax in May 2013 when Dubfire decides to chart Alberto’s track Alien. It only takes a week for Alien to get to number 1 of the Techno charts and then stayed at that position for 9 consecutive days. Is also included on TopTracks of 2013: Techno , Beatport Charts. From that moment Alberto began to get noticed by bigger record labels such as Suara, Elevate,Terminal M, Noir Music, Deeperfect, Bla Bla, Transmit recordings and has produced and remixed with world renowned artists such as: Pig&Dan, Monika Kruse, Coyu, Noir, Axel Karakasis, Dj Boris, Dj Anna, Sinisa Tamamovic and Skober.

Alberto’s tracks are constantly hitting the top 50 techno charts and his talent in the studio seems to be evolving at a blinding pace. Only a few weeks ago he hit again the number 1 spot in the techno charts with a remix of Quentin Dourthe’s Full Vision after being charted by the legendary Green Velvet. His tracks have been played by Artists like Dubfire,Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin,Adam Beyer, Marco Carola, Carl Cox,Joseph Capriati, Pan Pot, Marco Bailey, Solomun and the list goes on and on for this young and very talented producer with a bright future ahead of him in the world of techno
