Green Velvet & Jay Lumen - It's All About Me (Original Mix)

With his last EP offering on Keinemusik, &ME displayed himself once again as supplier of anthems that easily reconcile style with general floor purpose. You would think, such an universal and inexhaustible tune as this very “After Dark” can only be a lucky hit. But no, he’s knocking out the classic material just like that. Another example? Catalog number KM028, his brandnew “Trilogy” EP.
The titletrack on A initially places a synth arpeggio behind a kick that in dryness is hardly to excel. The beat of "Trilogy" is then seasoned with rimshot patterns until the saturated bassdrum comes in and paves the way to the dancefloor. &ME even refines his knack for stoic grooves on this jam and once again shows his sure feeling for suitable vocal features. Sabotas croon comes devoid of big gestures and still knows the ropes to appeal to the collective mentality of a clubcrowd.
On the flipside, “Woods” is living up to its name from the very beginning. Woody percussions are thumping within an almost subtropical scenario that’s frequently pervaded by mighty synth clouds. And once again, there’s an arpeggio sneaking in that at some point is taking the lead in this strictly instrumental affair. Add a break building that will educe a floor’s complete euphoric potential without going for the rather mindless escalation and there you have it: a B-side that’s actually more of an A-competitor.

Channeling the energy echoing off dancefloors along his path, Reinier Zonneveld has been on a steady slope rolling out dance igniting productions while touring an intricate live set.

Reinier Zonneveld – Plastic People [Snippet]

Marco Bailey has announced his new Gravity Drag EP, a dark offering which drops on October 21. Its title track is as heavy as its title implies, tying together abundant percussion, cunning synth stabs, and warbly bass into a neat bundle that commands full attention on the dancefloor. It seems as though Bailey is painting a dystopian picture of his sonic future, one which techno fans are likely to ironically welcome with positivity.

Release Title: Centaur
Label: Stil vor Talent
Catalogue No: SVT189
Release: 2016-03-24
Incl. Deva Premal, Secret Cinema

Reinier Zonneveld gets in touch with the spiritual side of techno, channeling airy grooves with new age influences in his Centaur EP.
Calling on the vocal prowess of Deva Premal, a musician known for her meditative spiritual new-age style, Reinier succeeds an unusual combination, pairing his trademark dynamic techno soundscapes with the songstress’ ancient Buddhist and Sanskrit mantra chants in Invocation.
Teaming up with Dutch veteran Secret Cinema results in Extreem, an upbeat and cloudy slice of mesmerising, straightforward deep tech that leaves no room for layovers. Dark synths, relentless basslines and cavernous elements come together to forge the perfect late night ambiance.
The eponymous title track comes in third, set forth by a chopped up vocal sample paired with a tight-knit lead line. Incisive sound bites introduce a sharp synth sequence that swiftly takes over and establishes itself as the central motif and relentless earworm.
A fitting finale to the release, The Groove stays true to its name, unfolding as a wavy melody with zig-zagging layers and sinuous details. Spring-like particles wonder about on a backdrop of rolling bass and hard hitting, punchy drum pads, crafting a piece that’s equally immersive as it is dance-inducing.

Rampa's Remix for Pastaboys & Osunlade is out now. Release date: 10.04.2017

Rebirth 10 (Remixed)

Pastaboys & Osunlade - Deep Musique (Rampa Remix)

2016 was a standout year for Alan Fitzpatrick, with the Drumcode stalwart racing out of the gates in spectacular fashion with the release of his fabric 87 mix. A substantial amount of high profile shows followed, including appearing at the inaugural Junction 2 festival and closing the car park to a packed-to-the-rafters-crowd at Drumcode Halloween. He returns to Drumcode with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, marking his first appearance on the label since late 2016 when he remixed Moby’s seminal ‘Porcelain’.

The release opens with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, a track which caused a Twitter meltdown on Alan’s profile when he first started playing it at the tail end of 2016. Loaded with sharp and pounding drums, this is an ethereal experience from start to finish and packs a real punch. It’s a no holds barred, certified main room anthem. ‘Wait A Second’ feat. mc r1bbz has been a staple of Adam Beyer’s sets of late and has been getting a lot of air time on Drumcode Radio. This rave inspired track takes a raw, stripped back approach and delivers a real killer blow. Alan sampled the vocals of mc r1bbz from an LTJ Bukem tape pack from the early 90s and the record tips its cap to early jungle raves around the M25. The release closes with ‘Trance, Init?’; A homage to Alan’s days first and foremost as a raver before he became a DJ, with his non-purist attitude when it comes to electronic music shining through. The breakdown is sure to be a hands in the air moment at festivals all over the globe this summer.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead who’s legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

The new Intec release is from Darren Emerson who many will instantly recognise as being an original member of iconic Underworld, and played a large role in the making of their anthems such as Born Slippy, Cowgirl and Rez.

Darren Emerson left Underworld at the peak of their popularity to follow his solo career, and over the last three decades he has been one of the most influential producers and DJ’s in electronic music.

He has collaborated with the likes of Sasha, Depeche Mode, Björk and The Chemical Brothers as a solo producer, and travelled the globe to headline festivals plus DJ in the world’s best known clubs.

Having also compiled mix CD’s for brands like Global Underground and featured on the front cover of many a music magazine, Darren Emerson is one of the most iconic figures in electronic music’s history, and fully deserved of his legendary status within the House and Techno genres.

“Deadlock” centres around the bubbling acid of a Roland TB-303 to provide the tracks driving force. Fast flowing hi-hats and clap rhythms provide extra momentum, whilst a rising vocal pad adds some subtle euphoria. Packed with atmosphere, this dancefloor focused track is peak time Techno at its best.

“Deadlock (Pure Acid Dub)” does exactly what the title suggests and provides a stripped back version of the original, where some of the parts are stripped back for the raw acid to take complete control. Darker and even more ferocious, this provides an alternative version for those who like their acid rough and ready!

“Catch 22” is led by a pulsating lead synth and tearing percussion which rips through the speaker. The groove has tribal elements brought to life with chanting vocals, which complement the melody part that squeaks pops and bursts with an underlying funk. The track fuses old school sounds with modern production to create timeless Techno.

Filth on Acid is excited to welcome Cari Golden for a new collaboration with label honcho Reinier Zonneveld. "Bending The End" is the second track they recorded together and the follow up of the enormous hit "Things We Might Have Said", which was one of the biggest electronic hits of 2016.

That being said, Cari and Reinier wanted to bring something new to the table and started with a white canvas when composing "Bending The End", and because of that they ended up taking a totally different direction. This time the track comes in two variations, the melody centred original mix and a dancefloor orientated 4AM mix. 

The original mix starts out with a throbbing, deep Moog bassline, and a round, deep bassdrum, while at the same time blending soft, haunting effects and a fragmented, distorted melody. Cari Golden's voice, deep and beautiful, comes in and sets the mood for a hypnotic slow burner. The bassline initiates a subtle chord progression and delicate production skills elevate the mood of the track. Powerful but stripped back drum programming along with short bursts of white noise bring impact for the dancefloor. A long breakdown starts the orchestra by three of the big classic synths - Oberheim, Moog and Juno - and pave the road for unimpeachable ear candy with Cari's angel like voice as the centerpoint of the attention. All the elements come together and form an indisputable peak; without building up too obvious. In the vein of bending the end to the beginning again, the track's outro ends as it started: deep and delicate. The second version in the package - 4AM Mix - has a definite peaktime feel to it. Powerful driving drums and a heavy bed of sub bass kick lead the way to the introduction of looped elements of Cari's voice. Colossal, bassy stabs hint to original in a disrobed way. Long synth notes lying somewhere between bass and melody introduce the harmonies of the original during the breakdowns and translate it to demanding dancefloors in a profound way.

PREMIERE: Reinier Zonneveld & Cari Golden - Bending The End (Original Mix)

ELEVATE – a label started by one of the best loved techno duos of the moment Pig&Dan, focuses on releasing music to make the listener feel just that – ‘elevated’. Since its inception in 2012, its seen a stream of hits climb the Beatport charts, featuring artists including Amelie Lens, Monika Kruse, Christian Smith, Julian Jeweil and Matador among many others.

Its 75th release comes from none other than the label bosses themselves, marking Pig&Dan’s 7th solo EP on the label.

Kicking things off, the title track “Starting Again” has a slamming kick and crisp shaker shuffle that sets the pace. It's a driving cut designed for an intense dancefloor experience. The vocals and synth collaborate effortlessly, delivering a subtle but beautiful breakdown.

Deep in those morning hours “A.M.” brings a dark abyss like track with a haunting synth pattern coupled by a bellowing horn. Both dominate the soundscape as vocal echoes escape into the mix.

Modulating low end and funked out percussion stabs roll through “In My Mind”, the filtered vocal leaks delicately in and out of the darkness, whilst the hook emerges in satisfying ooze like form.

Fast pace, old school techno inspiration comes in the form of “Obsession” to close out the EP. It comes at you with bump and swing. It’s got simple but super catchy vocals, rolling between that rhythmic peak time groove.

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

Ian O'Donovan is an Irish based producer whose music has featured on a wide range of labels ranging from Drumcode and Tronic to Planet E and Kevin Saunderson’s KMS.

Having already proved himself a rising star, Ian O'Donovan’s trademark sound combines uplifting melodies and tribal rhythms with timeless techno grooves.

This stunning three track release is Ian O'Donovan’s third release on Intec, and showcases why he is an artist popular with everyone from John Digweed to Dave Clarke.

The first track “Voodoo Doll” has a tribal groove provided by congas and a looped vocal chant. Building with tension as the bassline's held notation swells and grows ever more prominent, this powerful track packs a punch and fuses classic techno with contemporary sound design.

Track two titled “Hardline” is spacious with a haunting melody and shimmering, eerie pads that combined with muffled vocals, create a spooky atmosphere. Carried home by the hammer of the pounding kick drum, this dark track is certainly a force to be reckoned with.

Finishing off the release is “Suspicion” which has an uplifting melody and pulsating stabs, that when blended with robotic synths, give the track a sci-fi feel. Snare rolls and dramatic vocals spoken in whisper add to the tracks already epic sound, and complete the melodic techno groove.
