TECHNO & DRUMCODE

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

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 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.

Klicks and claps which hypnotise. A proper build up and some techy vibes. Welcome @Vanita on Ein2. With her "Obscure" Ep she is taking melodies to the dancefloor. The title track is getting a dreamy and trippy one full of warm energy. "Ghost" comes colder and straight but you'll be on the dancefloor for sure to enjoy the deepness of the night. Buzzing electro synths in "Desert" and some deep and bumbling bass minutes. Enjoy the package.

Dynacom - Echoes Of Hope (Antiques Vocal Remix)

Paul Hazendonk returns on his own Manual Music imprint with the final part of his Signature Series trilogy. Yet again presenting two brand new originals that cross over between various genres within the melodic electronic music spectrum.

First up it's 'Unagi', a massive and intense peak time dance floor bomb that will leave you with the feeling that you've been slapped in the face... in a good way! Paul's trademark arps build up the tension towards a roaring ravey bassline only to revert back to emo mode during the beautiful piano break until it's all systems go again. Proper madness this one!

The accompanying piece 'X Is Forever' is a more heady and intelligent piece. Starting out with a minimalistic arrangement and wobbly bassline, a mysterious vocal gets introduced early on which turns out to be the trademark element of this song. Of course the ever present arps make their introduction as the track gently builds on towards it's climax. A lovely piece of work to end the Signature Series trilogy!

Artist: Various Artists
Title: The Last Trip
Label: Stil vor Talent 
Catalogue No: SVT242
Release: 2019-02-22

Initially materialising as a fully fledged happening, The Last Trip is ultimately available in tangible sonic form, as a mini-compilation of party-friendly styles under the Techno umbrella rolled into 12 exclusive tracks.

1. Malandra Jr. - Utter
2. Malandra Jr. - Poison
3. Citizen Kain - Crush
4. Citizen Kain feat. Aves Volare - Balance
5. Heerhorst - Centaurus
6. Heerhorst - Hydra
7. Transcode - String Theory
8. Transcode - Molecular Cloud
9. Olivier Giacomotto - Moonshine
10. Olivier Giacomotto - Bonobo
11. Made in Paris - Warm Hearts
12. Made in Paris - Conjure

Classically trained instrumentalist and Cocoon alum Malandra Jr. kicks off proceedings on a dynamic note with a pair of blissed-out tracks featuring blossoming synths, supple drums and whirring glitches. Citizen Kain follows suit with two energy-loaded numbers, the more dreamy and spaced out 'Crush', followed by the vocal-heavy 'Balance'. Next up is German producer Heerhorst who takes a turn for deep and pensive melodies with 'Centaurus', while 'Hydra' stands out with powerful synths and a rattling beat. Bold, intense synths are also at the core of Transcode’s 'String Theory' and 'Molecular Cloud', with the former offering a massive breakdown fit for peak time, and the latter a more resolute atmosphere overall. In the release’s final quarter, we find Olivier Giacomotto with two tribal-tinged constructions, the slow burner 'Moonshine', and its more unhinged counterpart, 'Bonobo'. Made in Paris rounds off the Trip with a couple of stirring slices brimful of radiating synths and spacious breakdowns.

All in all, a steady trickle of dancefloor-primed pieces setting off sparks of all the different types of energy needed to sustain a coalescent set.
