Drumcode bangers

El 11 de febrero Drumcode lanzó el segundo EP de su serie compilatoria Swedish Silver. Ida Engberg & Adam Beyer  forman parte de los artistas adscritos al Swedish Silver Volume II. 

Adam Beyer intensifica el tono con el que abre el EP con la segunda pista, 'Never Really Left Home' que utiliza una línea rítmica de sintetizadores para crear una oscura y desapacible pieza musical. Inmediatamente después Ida Engberg entrega ‘Lucky ones’, un track ceñido a su distintivo estilo techno con sonidos de la vieja escuela rave, sintetizadores metálicos y profundos que crean una pista que mantendría a cualquiera en la pista de baile. 

En este proyecto Beyer y Engberg comparten créditos con Mikael Jonasson, Joel Mull, Patrick Sierch, Petter B, Manic Brothers y Cari Lekebusch.

Release Date: 2013-02-11

Joao Ceser - Fittings (Baskerville remix)

Sam’s EP boot’s off with ‘Chocolate’, a track that builds and builds using detuned synths, stabs and funky drums to make any dance floor erupt. ‘Domino’ is a track that’s bassline drones underneath its own distinctive synth line to keep the drums rolling along steadily. The title track ‘Black Leather’ is everything you would expect in a Drumcode record; a subtle throbbing bass line which, keeps the track moving before the synth stabs enrapture the track and twist it into a dark, throbbing composition. The final track ‘Daegon’ uses dubbed out drums to incorporate a synth melody line that will blow your socks off and rounds off this well shaped EP.

Using rolling percussion and a thumping kick, Luigi’s four track EP starts with a bang as the title suggests; ‘Primo’ really is unbeatable! Luigi uses synth stabs that add character and finesse to this outstanding piece of music. ‘I Believe’ uses dubby drums and an infectious vocal to really tear things apart before dropping into a melodic synth section that will make anyone move. Tantra’s melodic groove synths help this early morning track really come into its own before the main melodic section, accompanied by strings, will take any clubber to their own dimension. Hypnotizek rounds off the EP being more upfront about where it’s going. This cheeky, groove based track will warm up a dance floor quickly and get people in the mood for a real party!

Harvey McKay starts his next single using a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey’s unique style with ‘Silk Road’. The second track ‘Slip’ uses ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combining two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The third and final track ‘Start Running’ is chuggy and uses a mesmerising bass loop to draw a dancefloor in. The vocal stabs sit nicely on top before the lead vocal gives the track character and definition.

1. Slam – Lifetimes (Pan-Pot Bass Times Remix) 
2. Slam – Lifetimes (Pan-Pot Tribute To Life Remix)

SOMA 20 YEARS [1991 – 2011]

Slam, the very essence of Soma records, the building blocks on which it was created. For 20 years, Slam have been at the forefront off the UK techno scene having shaped it sound with classics such as ‘Positive Education’ and ‘Step Back’. For this special 20 years of Soma celebration, Slam invites good friends and spectacular producers, Pan-Pot to provide reworks of the classic Lifetime track. 
Pan-Pot are one of the most exciting production duets around today, having garnered success with tracks such as ‘Charly ’ and ‘Captain my Captain’ as well remixes of the like of Booka Shade’s ‘Regenerate’. For this exclusive release on Soma, Pan-Pot lend their talents to Slam’s ‘Lifetimes’, providing two fresh and exciting remixes that throb, pulse and build into instant dancefloor classics. 
The EP kicks of with their ‘Bass Times Remix’ where precise, minimalist percussion, vast soundscapes and distorted basslines are laid down underneath a controlled and stripped back original vocal. The track builds nicely to a vox-laden broken beat drop, and a 2 minute long 4/4 techno stomp. Pan- Pot’s ‘Tribute To Life Remix’ follows with yet more murky soundscapes, a thumping kick drum, progressive builds in percussion and the of course that bassline . Twisting the original track to provide a darkly nuanced and intricate tech-house monster, Pan-Pot do more than justice to this remix.

So, we did this weird new track ‘Just One More Time Baby’ with the Firebeatz guys. It has lo-fi horns, squashed kick drums and our own hand claps. Not your typical progressive big chord cliche anthem you could say, and it does work quite well on our dance floors.

Anyway, the guys at Spinnin Records loved it, so they asked us if they could release it.
At the IMF @ Ibiza they gave it to Pete Tong, and guess what, he played it at his show on BBC Radio 1.

Release date: TBA

Chocolate Puma & Firebeatz - Just One More Time Baby (BBC Radio 1 Lo-Fi Rip )

As it says on the tin. This is my anthem!!! 

I worked long and hard on this track - it's gonna be the one that makes me! Lol! 

We shall see about that, but this cheeky little number is very Deadmau5 / Swedish House Mafia inspired. Massive distorted bass builds into a big big lead with (if I do say so myself!) an awesome drum beat.

Here's a little taste of our upcoming 'Chocolate Puma In The House' compilation. 
This is what those nice people at Defected had to say about it:

"Gaston Steenkist and René ter Horst – aka Chocolate Puma – are two of Holland’s most celebrated electronic producers. With a career spanning 20 years, 200-odd releases, two significant UK chart hits (‘Give It Up’ and ‘I Wanna Be U’) and countless remixes under their various guises they are a duo whose influence on the European dance music scene cannot be overstated.

Their latest project is an In The House mix for Defected, a compilation which represents the culmination of a life spent in and around house music. Including tracks from Chez Damier, Ben Westbeech, Claude von Stroke, Kraak & Smaak, Gregor Salto and many more, Chocolate Puma have remixed and re-edited almost every track, with an end result halfway between mix compilation and artist album"

Uno Mas' "I Will Follow" vocal is used as the forefront for a tribal tech / caribbean steel drum based track.

Very pleased with the outcome!

The EP starts with Mikael Jonasson’s, ‘Benefit of the Doubt’ which uses dark, melodic bleeps to create tension before the epic chord stabs kick in that resonate over the throbbing bass line. Adam Beyer steps up with the second track ‘Never Really Left Home’ that uses a rhythmic synth-line to create a dark and moody piece of music. Ida Engberg then delivers her unique style of techno using old rave sounds and a huge hoover style synth to create a driving techno track that will keep any dancefloor moving. The Manic Brother’s supply another big track named ‘Different Directions’ using reverberated stabs to create an atmospheric, but still functional track with lots of rhythmic percussion thrown in. Patrick Siech then steps up with the next track, ‘Kill Room’ that also uses atmospheric percussion and stabs to build into a funky drum groove. Joel Mull presents the sixth track on the compilation; ‘Rimson’ that uses hypnotic drums to captures the listener’s attention to lead into a floaty synth and vocal line before the track introduces a pulsating bass line. ‘Second Coming’ is the next offering with Petter B using recurrent percussion to full effect to create a purposeful, heavy hitting techno track. The final track by Cari Lekebusch called ‘Xylopeggiator’, conveys a dark, pounding 5 AM rhythm that uses vocal samples and a melodic synth to create a hypnotic drum pattern.

WinnieDee Muziek - Get Deep (WDM Deep And Dirty Mix)

Renato Cohen has remade his Pontape original eleven years on, bringing new life to one of techno’s classic records. Beginning with the immediately recognisable droning bass line that has become so synonymous with the release, Cohen introduces a build during the middle section that gives the track a new depth second time around. Alan Fitzpatrick has been selected for remix duties, adding a contemporary twist to this classic track by retaining the original hook-line using the drone in the breaks but adding his own synth-stab to bring a new and interesting dimension to the track.
