April the 17th meets gorgeous Sara Simonit to join CODEX Family with her "Opium" release!
Sara Simonit, DJ and Producer, was born and raised in a small city outside Venice. She has done some relevant releases on labels such as Pan-Pot’s Second State, Christian Smith’s Tronic, Pig & Dan’s Elevate, Coyu’s Suara and Boris’ Transmit to name a few with her latest productions to be supported from none other than the likes of Carl Cox, Sasha, Joris Voorn, 2000 and One and Alan Fitzpatrick among others and at major events such as Time Warp, Tomorrowland, Zurich Street Parade and Creamfields.
Sara has been curating and perfecting her skills delivering refined techno sets with her fun and energetic personality which keeps
dance floors raving for hours on end.
Three tracks release: Give it Up, Destruction and Opium.

"Give It Up" - showcases the diversity of Sara’s music production. This bouncy techno track has a distinct UK vibe taking inspiration from oldskool house. The upbeat vocal and 90’s breakbeat sounds are guaranteed to get the dancefloor grooving.
With a booming bassline that rolls throughout the track, the aptly named track Destruction will not stop at anything or cause chaos on the dancefloor. The marriage of the deep bass and dystopian top line creates a haunting track that will seep into the ravers’ consciousness and create a deliciously dark atmosphere.

"Destruction" - With a booming bassline that rolls throughout the track, the aptly named track Destruction will not stop at anything or cause chaos on the dancefloor. The marriage of the deep bass and dystopian top line creates a haunting track that will seep into the ravers’ consciousness and create a deliciously dark atmosphere.

"Opium" - In her trademark style, Sara’s new release Opium is a lively techno track with a kicking bass-line. Built in a modular composition, this ground breaking modern style layers creating an hypnotic sound.
Enjoy!

Bang! Here's my new album for u!

It’s been 7 years since "7 Dunham Place“ - my first electronic album. An artist album isn't just a compilation of club tracks. It’s a concept that allows experiments, that opens up spaces for narratives, and allows the artist to go really far. At least that is the way I see it. I put everything into it, it was all or nothing. Martin Buttrich and I packed our studio and moved to Brooklyn in 2006. That album is a musical document of my time in and experience of Brooklyn, it sums up a period of my life, and for me it was a natural conclusion.

After "7 Dunham Place" there weren’t enough stories for an album. I was in the mood for straight, banging club tracks - for singles. I’d say that my "Toxic" EP from 2012 marks the end of that period. It was the time when I built my studio in Düsseldorf, and loose stories and ideas slowly intensified and condensed.

We invited guests to jam with us, rock the drum machines, synths and old, raw gear with us. Guti, Miguel de Ipola, Kobe aka Pimp Jackson, Chevy, my old hip-hop crew with whom I used to share stinky hotel rooms and tour buses in 1995. All the dots connected. What was meant to be warm-up sessions with guests, instantly became the sound I was looking for and the soundtracks to these new scenarios.

Then the features came...

There are strong bonds with all artists involved and everything unfolded naturally. I danced to Neneh Cherry's music when I was hip-hop kid, and I still do. Pulshar is one of my favorite bands who's two albums we released on my label Desolat Music Group. With Just Blaze, it was like two hip-hop guys working on something completely different, something harder, and it instantly worked. Jaw is not only that crazy guy who shares Tunisian roots with me, but his voice is special and fitted perfectly. Behind Mr. Techno there is Chris Liebing, super warm and funny guy with whom I share a lot, but whose artistic expression is quite different than mine, so here the opposites collide. Miss Kittin is a long time friend, and it was only her who could have completed that one song. Last but not least there is Giggs. You can’t ignore him if you look out of the US hip-hop box. He is unique. When I met him in London and played him the album, he was totally diggin’ it, he understood where I wanted to go with it, and I had him on board.

There have been so many changes around me since my first album that has become the narrative for "Underground Sound Suicide", and in a way I used music as a transmitter. It comes from the heart and is a testimony of who I am now.

Ultra Music's got my back on this one and the album will be going through the team there. They believe in it, and I'm happy to have them on board. Also here paths are crossing again. David Waxman from Ultra and I know each other since my early gigs in NYC in the early 2000s. Now we write this exciting new chapter together.

Here's a small sample of what to expect! Keep up with me, I'll be dropping more details in the coming weeks.

One love.

Alleanza Konnekt 04

Jewel Kid

Release Date : 23nd May 2016

"Coming onto my second Alleanza Konnekt EP, I was able to approach this project with a much wider spectrum after the sentimental positive observation I got for my first Konnekt release. Reflecting an echo of emotions, this cut describes a now restored sensitive fragment of my life that brought back to light my true colours of techno. An emblem that throughout the years had fallen between cracks of artificial strategies that were forced upon me by other authorities. Promptly diminishing any ruling, this EP continues to hunt down the blueprints of my origins through creative use of music production technology, such as drum machines, synthesizers, and digital audio workstations. Creating what we at Alleanza consider to be an authentic sound of techno." Jewel Kid

Codex Podcast 047 with Spartaque [Kube, Tafalla, Spain]

Codex Recordings is a Spanish based techno label headed up by Ukranian artist Spartaque who features a remix on this new release by Germany's Thomas Hoffknecht. Also on the EP is a remix from Canadian artist D-Unity who completes this impressive package.

Thomas Hoffknecht has also contributed tracks to other heavyweight labels such as Sleaze (UK), KD RAW and Second State before making his debut on Codex Recordings.

Label owner Spartaque is an equally accomplished producer who's prestigious back catalogue includes Terminal M, Tronic and OFF Recordings for example.

D-Unity heads up the highly respected Unity Records and along with many releases on his own label has also made numerous releases on many of techno's best known labels ranging from Intec to Suara.

The twisted synths of "Robot Ride" open the EP with pulsating rhythms layered over tough percussion. Things get dark with the hypnotic melody and punishing claps of "Waves" before the remixes close things off in peak time fashion.

V/A – Drumcode A-Sides Vol. 9
Cat no. DC223
Label: Drumcode
Release date: 27 April, 2020

In a brief interview around his latest Drumcode release, Oscar L explains how "When I started producing 'Dark Fate' I wanted to try something techno and groovy. I got inspired by the original soundtrack movie from ‘Terminator' and actually this is where the title of the track is coming from. I think 'Dark Fate' is a strong weapon for DJs to get the crowd into the techno mood without hitting too hard".

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. Victor Ruiz & Thomas Schumacher 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.

2. Dubfire - Deadbug

Premiere: Oscar L - Dark Fate

Our latest premiere is now online featuring a track titled 'Humans As Weapons Of Mass Destruction' by Italian stallion Ayarcana, forthcoming on his ‘Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses’ EP for London based label Cluster Node.

Ayarcana's strong influences from hardcore punk, harsh noise and black metal have always been an undeniable presence in the artist’s sound and there is no doubt that the energy in the tracks is filled with an unsettlement and yet the effect is immediate; surrendering to mental destruction has never sounded so appealing.

Sinister and slightly oppressive, the title evokes a shadowy reminiscence of some of the darker facets of life in the artist’s hometown of choice, Berlin and consists of two destructive original tracks and two equally crushing remixes by Peryl and Outlander.

Side A - Introduces us to the two original tracks, characterized by Ayarcana’s lethal kicks, monstrous modular noise and powerful synths, they are spinning us around, forcing us to face what we went through as we look ahead.

Disorder, noise, pressure and paranoia, culminate in an electric storm, continuously upping the voltage to the next level. Ayarcana truly embodies the heavy hitting, relentless, industrial menace that he creates and routinely executes his listeners with.

On the B. side, two uncompromising remixes of ‘Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses’ continue the EP. Peryl’s version immediately transports the listener to a dystopian landscape of menacing atmospheres and sharp, distorted noises, while Outlander’s interpretation completes the EP with a brutal storm of rave energy ready to tear down the club, taking no prisoners.

Four outright dance floor assassins. 

Tracklist:
A1 - Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses
A2 - Humans as Weapons of Mass Destruction
B1 - Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses (Peryl remix)
B2 - Cheap Rents and Haunted Houses (Outlander remix)
