Storming his way back onto Drumcode Luigi Madonna closes off the Summer with a four track smasher that will see him welcome in Autumn with a bang. Each track contains the solid, raw drums that are the backbone to each track Luigi has conjured up. With a brooding undertone, the simplicity found in each track gives the lead lines and ideas more space to breath, which overall creates a unique and charismatic submission that can only be found from the Italian.

Italy’s fastest rising name in house and techno returns to the respected Drumcode imprint with this blistering new 4-track EP, ‘Climax’. Featuring a distinctive vocal sample crescending over a typically thumping bassline, opening lead track ‘Climax’ grows gradually with the introduction of a single synth note and skipping hi-hats. Two beatless breakdowns increase the pressure whilst a new synth melody is introduced in the second, making for a powerful ending as all the elements join together.

‘Boost’ starts out deep and dark, with a high-pitched call echoing over a determined beat. The track changes course mid-way through with the introduction of a bassy, low-pitched synth melody, helping ‘Boost’ evolve into a catchier, more playful track.

‘Spectre’, a no-nonsense closing piece featuring a jittering synth note, rattling hi-hats and a trademark tension-filled breakdown.

‘Over The Clouds’, as its name would suggest, is the gentlest of the four tracks. Filled with dusty textures over a rumbling bassline, twinkling synths move in waves before lower-pitched chords join, adding a real sense of depth to this production.

Overall, ‘Climax’ is an outstanding example of Faraone’s ear for detail as a producer: his experience as both a resident and touring DJ clearly feeds into his skill for manipulating tension in his productions like he does on the dancefloors. Having recently warmed up for Adam Beyer at Tenax, Marco Faraone’s relationship with the iconic label continues to grow.

Pig&Dan make their entrance to Drumcode with a full force, four track EP. The ‘Mexico EP’ encapsulates Pig&Dan’s well known signature sound with each of the four tracks bringing their own identity to the release. The tracks, laced with driving kick drums, modulated samples and thumping bass lines, come together to create a heavy yet dynamic EP that prove Pig&Dan are masters of their craft.

Each one has been thought out and accomplished with precision using some of Moby’s synonymous samples.

<p>Barbuto makes his phobiq debut and the aptly-titled &#8220;Cicadas&#8221; is up first, boasting buzzing synths in the background while evolving arpeggios slowly engulf the track. The Spektre remix toughens things up as the boys add their trademarked shadowy percussion and create a total heads-down vibe. &#8220;Eye Of Horus&#8221; introduces subtle riffing and claustrophobic melodic elements which lead to Thoth&#8217;s mix where we get a more looped-out approach together with a grinding rhythm section.</p>

Premiere | Drunken Kong - A New Light [Tronic]

In this newest installment of Pursuit, we present to you Wild Cards Volume 1. A collection of 6 absolute killers that deserve the limelight. With their forces combined this collection of peak timers will definitely make you understand what Pursuit is all about and we are so proud to have them. And don’t be afraid…there is more where that came from.

Kicking things off is Italian talent Luca Gaeta delivering a euphoric spaced out melodic symphony combined with a thunderous beat called About A New Life. Great friend of the family Noraj Cue makes his debut on Pursuit and this one is definitely one for the books. Don’t let the tongue in the cheek title of Opdringerig Hooi fool you, this is absolutely after party mayhem. New kid on the block Federico Naccari & Dubstone present Unmixed Galaxy, a space opera in the making. Delicious synth melodies combined with a filthy techno stomping groove. Familiar faces and absolute friends of the family is the duo Duss, who make their return with Babel, an absolutely exquisite composition demonstrating their impressive skills in the studio. What a talent. One of the newer entries on Pursuit is Berlanga who delivers an absolute monster called Time Has Changed. While the synth lines keep evolving a dark brooding voice brings us in darker environments.
And last is Murahni with his amazing Don't Talk To Me In The Morning track. 

All tracks have been road tested by Rob Hes and all carry the seal of approval of Pursuit. This is Wild Cards.
