Adam Beyer returns with his first solo EP in five years.

The Drumcode founder is measured when it comes to signing music to his own imprint, biding his time till the stars align. His last individual outing was 2015’s ‘Stone Flower’ EP, which included the thrilling label favourite ‘What You Need’. A succession of classy collaborations followed, linking with DC’s most vital artists highlighted by ‘Your Mind’ with Bart Skils, proclaimed one of the best tracks of the last decade by Mixmag.

An EP that gives a nod to uncertain times, while remaining resolutely positive, ‘No Defeat No Retreat’ was written during Beyer’s fruitful production sessions during lockdown. The opening track, ‘Park People’ sets the pace with an energetic, 80’s new wave creating the track’s spine. Its hypnotic energy stems from a powerful synth riff and vocal sample culminating in a skilfully balanced track that neatly combines the old with the new. The title track is a study in contrasts, deftly crafting a muted, nagging vocal hook and infectious bassline into a slice of forward-facing, edgy techno. With its subtle, undulating layers of melody building in the background, it ushers in an understated sense of euphoria, making it a perfect end-of-set mood-maker. A thrilling return!

Comecei minha trajetória na música muito nova, quando aprendi teoria musical, assim como aprendi tocar de forma amadora violão e guitarra, arriscando sempre uns vocais de timbre mais forte e destaque pela força do canto e não pela sutileza de tons agudos. Hoje em dia, produzo, ainda de forma amadora, mixagens de músicas já conhecidas, bem como de músicas autorais em softwares como Rekordbox e Djay. Eu também me aventuro na produção musical no FL Studio. A música não é minha profissão, mas é mais que um hobby e tem seu lugar único na alma e no meu coração.
