DRUMCODE SELECTS | Peak Time / Driving / Melodic / Hypnotic / Raw Techno 2025

From his heart-racing productions to resounding mixes and live sets, Alliance founder OTON has found his distinct voice mixing tantalising vocals and compelling grooves, translating his love for music from many influences. After several releases on his own label, OTON now septs up with four playful, wide-eyed tracks that mix well known classics with a maximalist approach. 

Who said we didn’t need another Beyonce edit? OTON proves us all wrong with his club stomping take on ‘Baby Girl’ culminating in music that has serious dancefloor momentum, while keeping things uplifting and memorable. Madonna’s iconic ‘Frozen’ then plays out against the backdrop of acid leads and electro flavoured breakbeat; the overall sound design feels poignant and the lyrics add dramatic melancholy in a cathartic end to the record's A side. 

OTON doubles down on our dopamine receptors with ‘Hump’. The tracks' propulsive bass and fast moving kickdrums are submerged in pink hued synths that move like lasers before ‘Juicy’ closes the show with a jittery workout that could be used to make any crowd get down.

EURO004 // OTON - Baby Boy EP

DJ Gigola is a shape shifter and she comes in many forms and colours. Since her debut EP “Tender Trance” with Kev Koko, she has worked in a variety of collaborative efforts blurring boundaries between Techno and Pop music. For her first ever solo EP, DJ Gigola moves away from ethereal vocals to portraying her own signature club sound in an exploration focussed on rhythm and groove structures. Drawing from a multi-facetted palette of musical genres, DJ Gigola’s productions recontextualize references to rave culture into a refreshingly breezy high energy feel. Think crunchy baselines, frivolous melodies and euphoric breakdowns layered with complex percussive structures and catchy vocals. In combining her passion of being a front-row dancer with her experience as a performer, DJ Gigola weaves together a three-track EP that follows a simple thread: get everyone in the mood to dance.
The EP and its title track are aptly named “In the Mood”, with the single set to be released on the 14th of July. The EP itself will be available from 09.09.2022 in both digital and physical formats.

“Gratitude Practice” is the first single from DJ Gigola’s upcoming album “Fluid Meditations”, set to be released on the 3rd of February 2023. 
On her debut LP, she explores shared aspects of meditation and the dance experience, fusing them into a new form of introspective practice. Gigola expresses her approach through the lens of guided meditation with spoken word. Lyrically, she traverses three aspects in particular: awareness of the now, embodiment and unfolding of the ego. Her work presents these themes chronologically ordered in a continuous mix. The very personal compositions deliberately juxtapose leading themes of a virtual world, such as anonymity, the restlessness of online interaction, and the physical disembodiment.
We are guided through this process by her voice, which DJ Gigola places against a background of low-pass frequencies, field recordings, breathing techniques and ASMR. These are synthesised with a warp of organic percussions, goa, and psytrance - creating a meditation practice that goes beyond traditional methods by decontextualizing elements of rave as a catalyst for Gigola’s own exploration of escapism.

In a world where social batteries are constantly drained, and spa weekends seem out of reach, DJ Gigola's latest single, "La Batteria," emerges as the perfect antidote to recharge and rejuvenate. Following a prolific 2023 that witnessed the release of her
debut album, "Fluid Meditations," alongside multiple singles and a notable collaboration with X-Coast, DJ Gigola returns with an electrifying force.
"La Batteria" by DJ Gigola stands as a personal interpretation and homage to the original masterpiece, "La Batteria della Mente," crafted by Dottor Dag nearly two decades ago in 2005. Drawing inspiration from her profound affinity for lento violento
and the early works of Dottor Dag, the original track swiftly became a cherished favorite in DJ Gigola's debut Boiler Room in 2022.
Fuelled by her passion for high-energy DJ sets and a distinctive soundscape, DJ Gigola embarked on a journey to breathe new life into the timeless composition. With her unique touch, including the infusion of her signature vocals, she reimagined and
revitalized "La Batteria," delivering a version that resonates with her dynamic style.
This rendition serves as a testament to DJ Gigola's signature club sound. The track features a distinctive vocal sample echoing the proclamation, "la batteria è completamente ricaricata" – “the battery is fully recharged.” This declaration sets the tone for the infectious energy that permeates the composition. Anchored by a robust
four-to-the-floor drum pattern and adorned with nods to eurodance through captivating synths, "La Batteria" is poised to become a dance floor anthem, pulsating with vitality throughout the year. DJ Gigola, with her unparalleled creativity, invites
listeners to tap into the reinvigorating energy of "La Batteria" and experience the sonic journey she meticulously crafted.

FIRE UP: Fifteen successful releases later, Anetha continues to fan the flames with MTY-FEU, an incandescent new compilation. Titled «Ils s’embrasèrent, réduits ensemble», the release stands for fusion and oneness.

Bursting from the depths of the earth, magma is devouring: melting hot techno, deep techno, fast techno, firestorms of trance, eruptions of hard groove, break, mental, smoldering experimental… MTY-FEU is a lava flow of boiling, vital energy, unstoppable and full of blistering textures.

During the Nuit Blanche (A1), we surrender. We, the offer. Our fire is combusting. Our feet, stomping.
Berserk, in a fury, there’s No End (C1) to this party. In a trance, Eternal Echoes (E2) beguiles us all, until we become one into the Molten Core (H2) of Inferno. Ils s’embrasèrent, réduits ensemble.

The incredibly talented visual artist FEMUR crafted the artwork by creating an AI-generated meta-crackle of fire. Diplomatie Studio handled the design while mastering was entrusted to Sixbitdeep, except for Anetha’s edit, where mix and mastering credits go to Le Dom. We’ve opted for bio-vinyls for this release, knowing that one day these records will return to ashes, only to rise again, like the phoenix.
