TECHNO 01

Techno/Tech House

A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration. 

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint. 

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014.

Featuring heavily on most of Drumcode’s shows due to his impeccable DJ’ing, Bart Skils is back with a new EP flexing his signature rolling sound and hooks. Caressing from one track to another, the use of pads in this EP and using uneasy sounds to build tension in each track. The swelling bass within each track manoeuvres the tracks into dark after hour’s territory with the help of the subtle percussion.

“Stay With Me” - Like a heart as big as a stadium, the title track thumps a colossal rhythm around the listener, reeling them up a mountainous intro with a generous helping of high hats and echoing bass effects. No one is going to be able to stand still with this beast on the loose, charging through hips and hearts alike with an unbelievable energy that is not going to leave memories anytime soon.

Over the past couple of months, we at Jumpstereo HQ have been working hard to freshen up and re-vitalise Jumpstereo. We have pushed it forward to the next level with new artwork, bigger and better promo mailout, improved PR campaigns and a brand new podcast. 
So to kick things back off, the obvious choice was something new from label captains, Anti-Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N.
The brothers return with their brand new single called 'Runaway'. Tried and tested by the duo across the globe, this peak-timer certainly gets the dancefloors moving with the usual drive and groove... topped off with a huge vocal.
First up on remix duties we have the outstanding Italian brothers, Mr. Bizz, who bring their huge hypnotising sound to the table whilst Techno master, Dino Maggiorana provides the second remix with a crazy groove that completely sucks you in! 
Both remixes perfectly complement the original making this a great package for any Techno DJ.

Early support from... Paco Osuna, Sinisa Tamamovic, Spartaque, Gabriel D’Or & Bordoy, Raul Mezcolanza, Arjun Vagale, Philipp Straub, Steve Mulder, Oscar L, Phunk Investigation and more…

D-Unity - Time To See (Original Mix)******OUT NOW!!!

A work 12 months in the making, Adam Beyer continues his exciting series of collaborative EPs, teaming up with heavy-hitters Pig&Dan for an multi-faceted four-tracker.

Chances are up if you spied Adam Beyer in an airport departure lounge over the past 12 months, he’d have his head buried in his laptop, immersed in creating sound sketches. A long-time fan of collaborations, the Drumcode chief has been on an inspiring streak of form lately, teaming up with the likes of Mark Reeve, Dense & Pika and now Pig&Dan. The results have been compelling, to say the least. 

In trademark perfectionist Beyer style, the title track ‘Capsule’ – a shimmering slice of techno - involved “around 15 different versions” the track rigorously road tested by the Swede and featured in episodes of Drumcode Radio to test dancefloor reactions, before finally getting the sign off.  ‘In Love’ is a big room techno groover, driven by crisp drums and the kind of evocative vocal effect that’ll have hairs standing on ends. ‘Atmosfear’ is true to its name, centered on a menacing synth line and gritty percussion, its deep kicks and subterranean bass combining superbly to create a heady dancefloor brew. ‘We Are E’ is propelled by a catchy synth hook and a classic call-to-arms vocal, which tips its cap to the artists’ shared love of classic UK rave.
