Tale Of Us - Another Earth

Sam’s EP boot’s off with ‘Chocolate’, a track that builds and builds using detuned synths, stabs and funky drums to make any dance floor erupt. ‘Domino’ is a track that’s bassline drones underneath its own distinctive synth line to keep the drums rolling along steadily. The title track ‘Black Leather’ is everything you would expect in a Drumcode record; a subtle throbbing bass line which, keeps the track moving before the synth stabs enrapture the track and twist it into a dark, throbbing composition. The final track ‘Daegon’ uses dubbed out drums to incorporate a synth melody line that will blow your socks off and rounds off this well shaped EP.

DC119 - Sam Paganini - Chocolate - Drumcode

This was in the old tracks archive called just "frankie" 
I believe this was recorded in Studio A at StudioChicago in the late 90s. I was a staff recording engineer and would bring in a couple synths and drum machines at night and record through the SSL 4056 with nice effects. It's probably just a TR-909 and Korg MS-50 controlled by ARP sequencer.

Mark Verbos - Frankie

The Tetra

DC123 - Alan Fitzpatrick - The Tetra - Drumcode

This is a track I made in 2005. All analog gear, live to DAT, usual stuff really. I probably could have done something with this, but....

ALAN FITZPATRICK - TRUANT - COR12118

Len Faki - BX3 (Techno)

Locked Groove marks his return to Hotflush with the grandiose, puzzlingly-titled "Enigma". It's a colossal record whose bass-centric melody looms large. Large enough, even, to inspire what is nowadays a rare Scuba remix. 

A counterpoint to these theatrics comes in the way of 'Wandering In A Cage', a broken-beat creeper flaunting the Belgian's ear for subtlety, and two beatdown versions of the title track that fit neatly into your DJ toolbox.

Locked Groove - Enigma (HFT037 Preview)

You can spot Jimmy Edgar's homegrown imprint from twenty paces -- someone at BR HQ genuinely peered at my screen and said, “bit of Ultramajic, eh?” while I was typing this. The warped club constructions falling off the label’s assembly line take many forms, but often serve as an aural reflection of that typically eye-popping artwork: synthetic, pneumatic, and kinda sleazy.

Chambray’s “Rub” flew the freak flag high all through the summer. Now, as a bonus on his Rub Remixes, we have a remix of deep cut “Untitled” by none other than Len Faki. The longstanding techno don remoulds the track into the kind of functional, weaponised tool that laid our Berlin space to waste back in April.

Barnt - Cherry Red (Tale Of Us & Recondite rmx)



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.
