TECHNO & DRUMCODE

My remix of Dimitri Nakov & John Monkman feat. Cari Golden 'Don't Stop' for the excellent Suara label. 

Dimitri Nakov & John Monkman feat. Cari Golden - Don't Stop (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix) [Suara]

A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration. 

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint. 

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

After hearing the original in Lee Burridge's 'Robot Heart' set at Burning Man in 2013, I fell in love with the Hot Since 82 & Habischman 'Leave Me' mix and asked Daley for the parts. 
A few months later, I resurfaced with this remix...

Hot Since 82 & Habischman - Leave Me (Dubfire Playa Remix)

Roberto Capuano has delivered Drumcode an immense 4 track EP that will blow out the cobwebs and see Roberto step back onto Drumcode with a bang. Lacing each track with pads and tantalising hook lines, Capuano’s tracks fire on all cylinders with good use of vocals and drum rhythms. His tracks have a certain swagger that only Roberto can conjure.

Anna - Redemption

Enrico Sangiuliano came up through illegal raves and is now a top DJ who plays all over the world and has his music played by the likes of Adam Beyer and Sven Vath. He has had the longest ever running techno number one on Beatport (his remix of ‘Can You Hear Me’ for DJ Boris on Alleanza) and is one of the best selling artists on the site at any one time. His music comes on Cocoon and Drumcode amongst others, and is powerful, direct stuff for the dance floor.

Written entirely in Italy, “X-Pollination (or cross-pollination) is fundamentally the key factor of growth, consciousness and life,” says the artist. “It’s the way I connect with people, share my passion, fly from one place to another and put many influences and elements into my music.”

The title track is eight minutes of slow burning but hypnotic techno funk with rolling rubber drums and nervy pads. Frazzled synths add post apocalyptic vibes to this main room anthem and many well crafted peaks and troughs along the way help make it even more standout. It is a real techno classic in the making.

Mark Reeve is the UK star who remixes. He has a long history with techno that goes back to the rave scene. Since then his education has taken in trips to techno mecca The Omen, has resulted in music on Cocoon and collabs with Pig & Dan. He has also released on Drumcode and has a big rolling sound that fills the world’s finest clubs and warehouses with his unique grooves. His take on the original is more energetic, with searing synths, cantering kicks and a dark energy that makes you pump your fist and stomp the floor. It is full of drama and is perfect balanced from start to finish.

The internationally renowned producer Alex Kenji boards the Great Stuff ship together with partner in crime Luca Guerrieri. In their luggage they have two massive tracks waiting to get played on a dancefloor near you. On the Amaro split EP resides their collaboration tune “Amaro”, that comes in the form of a muscular, moody and dark piano driven composition. It’s long breaks and dry drum programming give it quite a rough edge - perfectly suited for late night sets.

Track two ‘Layover’ was handcrafted by Alex Kenji and features a cutting edge tech-house feel. It nicely balances energy and vibe, while keeping things building and moving forward. Lush samples float alongside rumbling sounds and dazzling pads.

Schneeweiß VI presented by Oliver Koletzki
Label: Stil vor Talent

Over the years, Oliver Koletzki has continuously cited Berlin as a point of reference and, more importantly, a source of inspiration. Two of his albums Großstadtmärchen and Großstadtmärchen 2 have been a direct ode to the capital. Friedrichshain, one of Berlins vibrant districts, has always held a special place in Olivers heat. This is where he started out when he first moved to the city, and this is where he lives now. Schneeweiss, one of Friedrichhain's best and most loved restaurants, is just around the corner. Over the course of eight years, the stylish eatery has impressed many a Berlin foodie with its contemporary take on alpine cuisine and attention to detail.

Music is part of the experience here, which is no surprise due to one of the owners extensive background in Berlins club scene of the early days. Pairing striking award-winning interior design with a homely laid-back atmosphere, Schneeweisswelcomes everyone with open arms: Kiez locals and celebrities, students and businessmen, hipsters and families all can be found here, Oliver Koletzki among them. Thus, after many a late-night label dinner an idea slowly formed. Why not join forces and collaborate on a compilation that represents both, Oliver Koletzki's and Schneeweiss taste? Compiled specifically with the restaurant in mind, SVT174 once again convinces as a tasty treat for the music connoisseur and a musical treat for the culinary aficionado. Bon Appétit!

Summer (Brendon Collins) & Swyft swoop down from the looming cliffs and drop another gleaming gem into the gardens titled Nightstead / Mirage. The flowerbomb thuds against the soil and ignites the blue and green tulips growing peacefully nearby. Sparks burst in fiery fits of reds, oranges, and yellows just as dusk overtakes the landscape. These balls of brilliant light call forth the alluring sounds of hypnotica often found in the Tulipa realm. The animals react by encircling the gardens and performing a dance for lovers of deeply underground electronic music.

Strapped in voracity. The whistling agent. Passing through the softest times. A capsizing sprinkler. The undulating chords swam laps around my heart. Wilting ideas of being in a mire. The girl versus twenty harmonicas, a liter of juice, and a crisp blanket. Treated silhouette. From brotherly love to sisterly adventure. The shocking tale cloaked town sanctuaries. A melon-colored serpent fell victim to fantasy. Yeasty soup. Prancing through the fried shrubbery. Synthesized obstruction cast a shadow on the lawn. Dew dripping on a sorrowful field. Volunteer and breathe.
