Over the years, Code Rising has shared the stage and worked with some of the biggest names in the Electro music scene; performing live mainly in Miami and the surrounding Florida coasts.
After a healthy line of digital releases on Monotone Records from 2010-2013, the duo saw the release of their first full-length CD "Dissemination Protocol" on their own label, Propulsion Recordings. 2021 saw the largest release from the duo yet; "A Spectral Odyssey" was released digitally via BandCamp with a whopping 18 track playlist. Accounting for original and collaborative work, the duo have more than several 12" EP releases in their catalogue. So, what's coming up? In early 2023 a 12" wax release of "Retro Miami (Extended Cut)" and "Don't Stop The Beat feat. Gucci Bass & E.P.G." will be available via Dominance Electricity (Germany).

1. Which artists has influenced you the most?
There are too many to name because we take inspiration from many different artists.. even different genres at times. Even in terms of Electro only, it's still too many to name and we think this mix is a testament to that.

2. What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future?
"Retro Miami" got an extended cut treatment and will be out on vinyl along with "Don't Stop The Beat" Feat. Gucci Bass & EPG in early 2023. This release will be distributed via Dominance Electricity. Aside from those, we have ~10 or so additional tracks in the works. Several of which can be heard in this mix. Also, be on the lookout for Mixer Fixer: Part 2, which may or may not be a wax release as it is yet TBD.

3. Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now?
Dominance Electricity has been kind enough to have us on board several times now. We give a huge "Thanks!" to Matthias Weise for that and we hope to continue releasing music with him. It's always an honor to be part of such a respectable label with a clear vision and the means to execute it. Not to mention Matthias is just a great guy to work with in general. Super nice!

4. What inspires you now to create music?
The fans.. those people who message us online or chat with us at our live shows about how much they enjoy the sounds we create.. that's a big thing that keeps us going. Though tweaking knobs, writing beats, and experimenting with odd synth sounds is something we take a pleasure in doing anyway. It's difficult for any artist to keep their same sound and style over time and at the same time not sound "formulated". So we keep challenging ourselves to do more, do better, and be different. Our efforts are a small contribution, but like many others in the community, we try to help push the next wave of Electro sounds toward the future.

On that note, most inspiring of all is the fact that there are many, many talented people around the globe producing stellar Electro; Their love and imagination for the genre being the only ceiling of their creativity and chosen style. This fact alone means Electro as a whole will always be immune from sounding over-saturated and boring.

5. If it's not a secret, what setup do you use when creating music?
No secrets here! Between the two of us we have the following:

Software: Abelton Live 11, Arturia Software V Collection 8, Slate Digital - Tape Machine, Waves - Abbey Road Vinyl, FabFilter Pro Bundle, FathomFive, Glitch 2
Hardware: Dave Smith Prophet Rev 2 (Desktop Module), Access Virus TI (Keyboard), Access Virus B (Desktop Module), Novation Impulse (Keyboard), Korg Prologue (Keyboard), Akai APC 40 (Controller), Akai APC 20 (Controller)
