Do you realize that this EP was distributed with Metus and Resume switched? All this time I thought that my favorite track was Metus, when it was actually Resume!

Rough Cut Groove

Rodrigo Deem - Exponential [Out on 22.08.2025]

Presented as a three-track EP, Slam’s latest body of work for Drumcode covers a range of styles, drawing on their vast experience of the multi-colored nature of techno. Vespula, with its resolute groove and low, humming bass works the speakers hardest, while synth stabs, dramatic drawn out chords and a distinctive two-tone hook add contrast. Resume puts musicality to the fore by creating a melodic ride that flows from an undulating bass line and a soaring synth line whilst retaining a strong percussive energy. Metus beats out a slow burning but impactful groove that swings between an intricate, multi-layered arrangement of wigged out atmospherics and industrial clunks and clanks. RELEASE DATE 28th May 2012

Beyond Reason is the slightly deeper of the two Techno cuts on the EP but it still packs a punch with mechanical percussion layered over murky synth textures. Its spooky atmosphere and unnerving tension combine to deliver a subdued but ominous aura of suspense.

Bart’s EP kicks off with ‘Brave New World’, which uses pitch curved synth lines to create a unique groove before opening up the filter to be released back into the track. ‘Hypnotizing’ uses a percussion line that evolves into a melodic section within the breakdown that is supported by a catchy vocal line. ‘New Ground’ uses a trippy bleeps and a rolling drum beat to create a lively record. ‘Cabana’ is slightly different to the rest of the EP and offers a distinctive set-builder using a rising and diving synth line that is guaranteed to get people on the dancefloor.
