City of Drums Black Label proudly presents its latest peak time techno release: “Wild Ride” by Roland Broemmel – a high-octane sonic journey that lives up to its name. Following the success of his debut release on the label, Broemmel returns with even more raw energy, delivering a no-holds-barred techno anthem built for the height of the night.
The Story Behind "Wild Ride"
The title Wild Ride wasn’t chosen by chance. It reflects a moment of chaotic inspiration during one of Roland’s DJ sets in Berlin, where a sudden surge of crowd energy turned a planned performance into something completely unpredictable. “It felt like I had lost control – in the best way possible,” Broemmel says. “The sound were alive, the crowd was wild – it was a ride I never wanted to end.” That raw, electric intensity became the foundation for this pounding track.
The Sound
The original mix is a relentless, fast-paced peak time weapon. With thunderous kicks, razor-sharp percussion, and gritty synth lines, Wild Ride captures the adrenaline rush of a late-night dancefloor in full motion. It’s dark, powerful, and unfiltered – classic Roland Broemmel at his most uncompromising.
Balancing the brutality of the original, Mike S delivers a melodic remix that explores deeper emotional terrain. Known for his cinematic and hypnotic style, Mike S reimagines Wild Ride with lush textures, driving harmonics, and a more atmospheric groove – the perfect sound for the festival season and more introspective moments on the floor.

DSTRTD SGNL Unleash Dark, Peak Time Energy with Their Fifth Release on City of Drums Black Label: "Untold Story"

With their fifth official release on City of Drums Black Label, the enigmatic techno duo DSTRTD SGNL returns with an electrifying new single: “Untold Story”. Known for their uncompromising sound design and pulse-pounding production, this Peak Time Techno anthem is set to shake dance floors across the globe.

The Story Behind "Untold Story"
The track title wasn’t chosen at random. “Untold Story” emerged from a studio session that turned unexpectedly introspective. As DSTRTD SGNL explain, the concept was born from the idea of stories that never get told — emotions unspoken, paths not taken, ideas buried under noise. These “untold” stories — those fragments of identity we hide or forget — became the emotional nucleus of the track.

The artists translated this concept into sonic form through hypnotic synth layers, relentless kicks, and shadowy atmospheres. The result is a driving techno track that captures both intensity and introspection — a balance rarely struck in the genre.

Peak Time Techno at Its Rawest
“Untold Story” is built for the Peak Time —  aggressive rhythm structures, and cinematic tension. It’s the kind of track that commands attention in the middle of a set, where the crowd is at its most alive. Heavy distortion and metallic textures mark this release as one of DSTRTD SGNL’s best yet.

Listen to "Untold Story" by DSTRTD SGNL – out now on City of Drums Black Label.
Available on Beatport, Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms.
