Kein - Nemesis (Gaga Remix)

Zappel Nuss EP

Zappel Nuss

BEC is back. It's been almost a year since we last saw her with a full EP and she returns with an absolute monster three tracker titled ''Law Of Attraction'' which kicks off with the title track and wastes no time getting down to business. With fierce hi-hats and brisk, rapid percussions the track takes off like a jet plane as a simple yet incredibly wicked synth rises from the darkness and blasts of atmospheric rumbles and impacts crescendo to an exquisite culmination. ''T-ime'' is up next and BEC follows suit from the previous cut by harnessing the same breakneck pace but adding a storming lead of unpredictable resonant tones and flashes of sweltering vocal clips creating a wild and ethereal ride through the ether. Wrapping things up is the aptly titled ''End of the Beginning'' where an ensemble of swift, powerful drums provide the perfect stage for an escalation to a dramatic merger of celestial melodies and mammoth bursts of low-end leaving you with an impressive and indelible moment you wont soon forget.

BEC - End Of The Beginning (Original Mix) [Second State]

If you want a snapshot of where techno stands in any given year, and a preview of where it’s headed, look no further than Drumcode’s A-Sides compilation. Since 2012 it has marked the label debuts of countless vital Drumcode artists and affiliates, from Layton Giordani, Wehbba and Boxia, to Amelie Lens and ANNA, no less. Every year, new names are unearthed, tried and true techno contributors serve up their best, and icons of the industry land their debut on Adam Beyer’s storied label.

The 2020 edition hits with 13 tracks, eight coming from label debutants. There’s Eats Everything searing rave bomb ‘Organico’ and Dubfire’s ice-cool electro offering ‘Deadbug’, both artists landing their maiden contributions to DC after long affiliations with Beyer. With three EPs in less than two years on Truesoul, Oscar L steps up to DC, showing the breadth of his sound palette with a soaring, synth-laden gem ‘Dark Fate’. Belgians Joyhauser featured at last year’s Drumcode Festival paving the way for ‘Fierceness’, a beautiful melody-drenched cut befitting their DC cap. Anfisa Letyago is another first timer and shows why she’s one of the scene’s most highly touted new artists with the brooding beast ‘Are You In’. A growing label favourite, Juliet Fox follows up ‘Was Beautiful’, her superb track on last year’s A-Sides, with ‘Our Fantasy’, reinforcing her skill for crafting anthemic techno compositions. Thomas Schumacher & Victor Ruiz link and the result is ‘Intuit’, a sleek futuristic roller that hits you square between the eyes. Other highlights come from longtime Drumcode cohorts Reset Robot and Harvey McKay, who both dish up premium works, reinforcing their classy productions nous.
