Djrum – Dam remixes
A. Dam – Akkord remix 
AA. Dam – Felix K Reinterpretation
2ndrp12030 

Released 10th March 2014

Kicking off 2014, 2nd Drop present a killer remix 12” of one of the standout tracks from Djrum’s debut Seven Lies album, Dam. Offered the entire album, interestingly both remixers chose the same track! 

On the A-side, longtime friends of Djrum, Manchester’s Akkord, take the entire toolbox to work with their intense and detailed trademark darkside techno flex. Inspired by the original’s mid track tempo change, Akkord employ incremental galvanized drums and percussive scaffolding to build towards a killer pumping crescendo. 

On the flip we welcome Felix K, the head honcho of one of Berlin’s finest underground labels Hidden Hawaii, for his take on Dam. Felix’s reinterpretation floats majestically between hypnotic Berlin techno and super deep drum and bass ala Autonomic. Stunning.

Serenade

Under Tangled Silence

Let Me

These tracks are out-takes from my first alum Seven Lies. Those familiar with my music will know that I love a coda. A coda is a passage at the end of a piece of music that brings it to a conclusion. I often use a coda as a way of framing the piece in a slightly different context than it would otherwise end. Like a musical aftertaste. When I was working on Seven Lies I made codas for several tracks but I was never completely happy with these two so they didn't make it on to the album.

As I work on my second album I have been looking back at the process I went through for my first alum and remembered these outtakes. They're not so bad after all. Perhaps they are worth airing to the world. I hope you enjoy them, or at least find them an interesting insight into the workings behind the music.

“Hot” mastered music is uncool!

Listeners with a good audio system (e.g. hi-fi stereo monitors, high performance headphones or even reasonably good in-ear-headphones) will love music with <a href="http://dr.loudness-war.info">high dynamic range (HDR)</a>.

Please, artists, do not cripple your music! Master your audio with HDR (DR12+) and use loudness normalization (<a href="https://tech.ebu.ch/loudness">EBU R-128</a>)! Your fans will thank you.
