Here it is then, DC RECORDINGS have finally got up and running after well over a year in the making.
First up we have DIGITAL : CODE himself providing us with his track called "DARKNESS" this is massively influenced by the old HENNES & COLD style HardTrance from back in early 2000. This is definitely a peak night tune full of punchy kicks, massive reverse basslines along with some sneaky samples from other classic tracks of yesteryear.

Digital : Code - Darkness

Well a year has past so I think it's about time for DC RECORDINGS 002 isn't it?

For our second release it comes in the form of a Digital : Code remix of Dj Medowz's first release 'Black Magic' originally being released on German Trance back in 2009 it came with a monster remix from Wragg & Log : One.

As usual DC doesn't disappoint, from the start you're faced with a punchy kick drum that builds in layers then drops into full gated mode accompanied by a phasing closed hi hat floating over the top and some well recognised FX samples. For the main drop we can hear that classic Hennes & Cold bassline return slightly pitched up but still sounding great, the 303 drops at the same time but only as stabs and then it's gradually unleashed to give us it's beautiful groove that's taken from the original mix. 

The break is fairly simple, it includes the 'Black Magic' vocal sample then comes in with the main lead build up filtered down and a clap and snare build that is clearly taken from Warmduschers track auf die fresse........(hey it's a good build) The main section then just rolls out with the same style lead pattern as the original and an added pluck halfway through to give it some harmonic atmosphere, followed by a breakbeat section with the bassline changing key and the famous Amen break swinging away in the background.

We're extremely chuffed with this release and hope it gets the same if not more support as our first release.......we'll try not to leave it so long for DC003.

Enjoy.

DC RECORDINGS

Dj Medowz - Black Magic - (Digital Code Remix)

So here we are again..... 

DC RECORDINGS doing their bit to keep that Hard Trance fire burning......and my god is this one burning. Release number 003 comes in the form of everyone’s favourite Irish producer......RENEGADE SYSTEM with his track ‘THE WORLD OF GOD’ 

We sent RS a message asking if he’d be interested in making something oldskool sounding for the label and literally less than a minute had passed and he sent us this.......I mean either he really is a machine, nothing but lightbulbs and whooshing noises or he has stacks of unreleased projects itching to be released. Either way we don’t care because we are more than happy with this track.

It starts off with a percussive intro and ‘THE WORLD OF GOD’ sample repeating, gradually building up to a kick and a stuttered reverse bassline drop. This section then rolls on with some cool sounds flickering around and a nice pluck at the end of each bar. In true RS style the reverse bassline then opens up to reveal itself in all it’s thick rip roaring glory accompanied by a bubbling acid line.

The break is fairly simple, the main melody starts filtering up with ‘THE WORLD OF GOD’ sample repeating and then dropping into a breakbeat along with some pleasing bass key changes. After a classic but not as manic RS build it drops in full pelt with the kick reverse bass and main melody.

Here's a remix I've done just because i love both mixes so thought I'd put them together.

DJ ARNE L II - RIP - (DC Grave Stealing Mash Up)

So here we are again, DC Recordings has pulled the choke out and flicked the ignition on the old machine that’s been stood idle for far too long and we bring you.....“Acid Vision”

For our fourth release Digital Code has stepped up for his second original track on the label, first being DC 001 “Darkness.” Acid Vision is nothing short of a dancefloor banger, it has a heavy kick coupled up with a warm (Wump) style bassline that I’m sure will have your chest vibrating when played on a rig.....well.....when we’re allowed to have our lives back it will, but lets not go down that road. 

The overall track has a slight ‘Iain Cross’ feel to it which we love, from the start it doesn’t really stop. After the intro it drops in with the kick & bass and accompanying percussion building and synth / acid stabs. The bridge then takes you straight to the break which is a filtered down kick and the main acid line bubbling underneath with a filtered synth lead. The break turns into a build which then drops into what can only be described as German Hard Trance Heaven. The bassline has been thrown out and replaced by a deep solid gate, the lead changes to a more driving energy filled up / down sequence accompanied by the acid line in full distorted swing with appropriate percussion thrown in to keep the grove. 

We hope you enjoy this release as much as we do and don’t fret.....DC Recordings 005 is literally just round the corner, like.....some time in February round the corner.

Digital Code - Acid Vision

Here we go with DC Recordings 005, and only 4 weeks after 004......not bad hey?
 
Anyway it’s another Digital : Code original and this is called “FLY.” It’s a proper nod to the Deep Mission sound of Dj Arne L ii. I always loved how Arne L ii music was stripped right back but always sounded solid and full. I tried to follow the same vibe with this track.

"FLY" is a straight dancefloor banger....well.... it would be if we were allowed in the clubs on the dancefloor, but let's not go down that road. There's no floaty melody or emotional key changes in this, it's a head down bass face straight to the point track with a bit of acid thrown in just because acid is awesome.
