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!

BIOGRAPHY:
I discovered my passion for Electronic Dance Music (EDM) back in the 1990s and it has remained with me ever since. I consider myself a "hobby DJ" because I find DJing to be a great and enjoyable interest. For me, it’s really all about being creative. With bedroom DJing, I feel I can be a lot more creative in my mixes and explore my love for music. I understand that most DJs dream of performing in front of a crowd, controlling the vibe, and getting everyone moving. However, that’s not for everyone, including me. I enjoy listening to music and sharing the songs I love on social media. 

Keep spinning those tracks, DJs, and spread the love of music!
