Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

Marseille's Matt Sassari and Vienna's Matt Mor break off from their busy schedule on the European DJ circuit to prove that they share not only a name, but a love of brutally intense tech house and the technical mastery to deliver it. The Apaneka EP, the first of several collaborative releases, is a trio of exercises in pure intensity, primed for the most committed and harder-edged dancefloors.
"Apaneka" takes no prisoners from the off, plunging you into a dark, Gigeresque uni- verse of latent menace, the distant groans of a trapped Hulk lurking ominously in the mix. The wobbling throb of "Here and Now" increases the intensity, offering enlighten- ment and escape through its unforgiving repetition. "Modelisme Portatif" showcases the duo's production skills, taking you on a journey from outside the warehouse to deep inside the rave. Sassari & Mor pull out all the stops, expertly building tension and adding rubbery analogue motifs to their technoid palette. All three cuts display a deep attention to detail, with carefully curated sounds and samples interweaved and layered around the booming heart of each track.
With Sassari set to tour Brazil and North America this fall, this 7th release on Oliver Huntemann's Senso Sounds imprint is another pan-European collaboration with global potential.

It doesn’t get much bigger than this: Adam Beyer links up with Green Velvet and Drumcode’s outstanding rising star Layton Giordani for a debut collaboration.

Some musical partnerships feel fated. Both fans of one another’s work, for years Adam Beyer and Green Velvet had discussed writing music together. In turn, Beyer’s protégé Layton Giordani had admired the Chicagoan’s work for as long as he could remember. When the 25-year-old found himself playing alongside the green mohawked legend at Belfast’s Shine, the spark and subsequent friendship was immediate. With the links now set in place, it was only a matter of time before the trio’s creative chemistry would manifest musically.

‘Space Date’ was conceived organically and birthed quickly. Propelled by Green Velvet’s trademark vocal hypnotism, the triumvirate combine to craft a pumping intergalactic slice of techno laced in melody that’s highlighted sets by Beyer at Awakenings, Ushuaia and also EDC Vegas when Green Velvet dropped it to a raucous response. The track is complimented by ‘Rome Future’, the product of a year-long series of productions between Beyer and Giordani. Deftly combining crisp drum work, catchy vocal effects and a powerful bassline melody that gives the track an almighty kick, it will be familiar to many who’ve followed their sets over recent months.

Techno talents Oscar L & Matt Sassari return to Stereo Production for their first outing together in 'Cilene EP.' Formed by two cuts, created in both studios, Madrid and Lyon, where each producer started a project and in the middle of the process, they exchanged the works to round off them. Thus, both have their essence and all their good deeds. 'Electric Noise' is blunt and dark, forceful and fine, filled with different music elements placed in the right beat to deliver a frantic banger. 'Celine' is driven by rolling percussion and hypnotic synth effects that dip in and out throughout the elegant work. Vocals tie the track.

Oscar L dishes up his third Truesoul release in two years, establishing himself as one of the label’s most reliable contributors. 

The Spaniard last appeared on Truesoul in May ‘18, dropping a trio of inspired rollers that fitted the budding summer season like a dream. With festival season and Ibiza in full swing, his return is perfectly timed.

His ‘Vertigo’ EP is his strongest release yet for the imprint, with a triumvirate of cuts showcasing his evolving skills as a producer. ‘Unique’ fizzes with energetic verve as an undulating synth line builds excitement, alongside a vocal and a foundation of punchy beats. ‘Vertigo’ is a deeper, tribal house triumph, expertly displaying Oscar’s flair for arranging complex drum sequences. ‘Exodo’ is the sleeker, more bass-driven accompaniment, perfect for late night moments.
