The deeper the boundaries of the long-forgotten station are explored, the more dangerous those waters become. This time, Bleur & MB 1, who have long proven themselves in this difficult task, will act as the head of the research group. They took 4 large bathyscaphes equipped with deadly sonic weapons for the descent, ready for any developments, because no one knows what awaits them at the bottom of the ocean trench. And only The Voice reproduced in the distress signal remains a mystery to all of us.

German based duo Hidden Empire are swiftly making progression in their climb to the top of the techno scene. They’re known from several hit releases on Stil vor Talent and Traum Schallplatten. We are gleesome to open the doors of Filth on Acid and welcome them for a 3 track original EP. On remix duties we gladly find Egbert, the Dutch powerhouse of peak-time techno, who’s currently releasing on Drumcode.

Twilight Of The Gods opens with Baldur. The authoritative, round kick and bassline build a colossal foundation on which propulsive arpeggiators shift things into next gear. A sturdy, polished groove ensures movement on the dancefloor. The atmospherics and hornlike shout of Baldur, hint to the unfortunate fate of this mythological creature as well as building pleasant pressure.

Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor, stays true to its name, as it is a definite peak-time affair. Long stretched swelling, bassy pads are the backbone for reverberated percussion and dapper synth stabs. Memorable synth melodies unfold on the break to balance force and profoundness.

Bragi can be seen as the most hypnotic of the pack. Arpeggiated synths, soft pads and detailed synths hint to the abstruse nature of Bragi; the god of poets. Smart drum programming keeps the track in ever morphing state.

We close the EP in style, with Egbert’s remix of Bragi. As an artist, always on the lookout of new ways to detonate party crowds, this time he derives a groove with qualities of cavalry. Throughout the track the kick, bassline and drums continuously exert and exchange powers, which makes it sound like a constant battle as to where in the groove they can sit. This unique element builds an enormous strain. Combined with the beautiful break; again Egbert’s music arrives at the next level.

A work 12 months in the making, Alex Lentini & STOMP BOXX deliver a standout EP debut.

The Italian pair – living at the extreme opposites of their country’s ‘boot’ will be new names to the Drumcode faithful. They first appeared on the label in December 2020, with a strong contribution to A-Sides Vol.10 titled ‘Expanders’. 

So impressed was Adam Beyer with their productions, a fulsome debut EP was secured soon after. ‘Fine Line’ was conceived in the final stages of 2019. With the extra studio time lockdown provided, the duo enjoyed a creative freefall,  
allowing them to refine a five-track work that sits at the intersection of home-listening techno and dancefloor functionalism. 

‘Natural Desire’ has a definable spunk to it, as pulsating chords undulate towards a breathy pad-laden finish. ‘Shifting Soul’ is exquisite, as crunchy drums and a rousing vocal ensure it’s a memorable addition to the Drumcode canon. The title track is colourful and thrilling in equal doses, as muscular synth lines coalesce alongside pin-sharp rhythms.  
‘Altered Cycle’ is skilfully composed and marked by a stirring melodic lead and funky percussive underbelly. ‘Curved Blade’ is abrasive and gritty, before a dreamy spoken word interlude arouses an introspective mood. A fitting soundtrack for our times.

“2020 was both strange and terrible, especially for music lovers. But it gave us enough time to carve out this collaboration. At this point a wonderful compromise arouse between our two different sound visions. It happened without too many thoughts and in a very natural way.” – Alex Lentini & STOMP BOXX
