Alan’s new single on Drumcode demonstrates exactly why Alan Fitzpatrick is a powerhouse within the techno scene. ‘The Tetra’ will enrapture the dance floor from the off with it’s brooding nature and syncopated claps. It pushes forwards with glistening highs before more melodic stabs join the equation and slowly the beautiful melodic phrase partakes in this outstanding piece of work. ‘We Are Forever Young’ finishes off the single with a slow burning after hour’s vibe that will keep the clubbers nodding. The third and final track ‘1992’ takes us back and has a tougher more energetic feel to it. With crunchy drums, a melodic synth and a catchy vocal hook this record is another Alan Fitzpatrick masterpiece.

METODI delivers a striking reinterpretation of “Higher” by Icelandic electronic pioneers and legends GusGus and vocalist Vök. Infusing the original’s emotive core with his signature techno drive, METODI transforms the track into a peak-time weapon built for modern dance floors. Rolling basslines, sharp percussive elements, and soaring synth layers push the remix into a darker, more intense territory while preserving the ethereal energy of Vök’s vocals.

This release holds personal significance for METODI, who has waited over a year and a half for the right moment to share his vision of this beloved track. The result is a powerful bridge between GusGus’ timeless electronic artistry and METODI’s forward-thinking approach to techno, perfectly aligned with Set About’s reputation for cutting-edge releases.
