Roberto Capuano returns with his first Drumcode EP since 2015.

The Neapolitan has long occupied a special place in the heart of Adam Beyer. His cut ‘Never Stop’ is one of the finest Truesoul releases in recent years and he came up trumps with Drumcode’s 150th release in 2015 with ‘The Wilford’ EP, featuring the dub techno groover ‘Obsessed’. His last outing on Drumcode was the fantastic ‘Limitless’, a collaboration with Luigi Madonna that featured on A-Sides Vol.6 in 2017.

‘The Walker EP’ is Capuano’s most full-bodied work on Drumcode to date. The title track is a stealth combination of punishing drums and dystopian arpeggios building up a dark brew of energy. ‘Segment’ is a flamboyant follower, all six minutes of spine-tingling synth stabs and chopped up vocal effects perfect for peak time moments. ‘On Your Skin’ is no less captivating, a huge Beyer favourite throughout the summer months, its exhilarating combination of rousing vocal, swirling synths and catchy riff make it a slam dunk. The slick ‘Sirio’ concludes the quadruplet of cuts, as stomping grooves rub shoulders with multi-layered melody lines for a satisfying finish.

Ale Mayer is an Argentine DJ and producer based in Madrid. After a long period dedicated to semi-professional rugby, he decided to leave his sports career behind to fully dedicate himself to his true passion: electronic music. From an early age, Ale was a loyal lover of techno, although it wasn't until he was 22 that he began to channel his creativity and musical sensibility through mixing and production.

His sound is influenced by both the roots of Detroit techno and current techno, with influences such as Robert Hood and Kevin Saunderson, as well as contemporary figures such as Adam Beyer, Layton Giordani, Nicolás Taboada, Andrés Campo, among others. Furthermore, Ale feels deeply connected to the more melodic aspects of the genre, exploring introspective atmospheres and lower BPM tempos. This combination of influences allows him to create a unique offering, with its own essence that captures the best of each style.

Her main goal as an artist is to create experiences that connect emotionally with clubbers, taking them on a journey of sensations that range from euphoria to drama to introspection. This vision is reflected in both her sets and her productions, which will be released throughout 2025.

On the Madrid scene, Ale has established herself with repeated appearances at parties such as Icebox Club at Sala X Private, Prisma at the legendary Marula Club, Goya Social Club, Hangar 48, and other appearances in venues across the capital.

She is also part of Katarsis Electrónica, a multicultural collective that views music and dance as an ancestral ritual of spiritual connection. Katarsis has organized events in iconic venues such as LAB the Club, Café Berlín, and Hangar 48, and recently launched her own record label, Katarsis Musik, aimed at highlighting prominent artists from Spain and Latin America.

As a personal project, Ale is one of the founders of Monochromatic Sessions, a YouTube channel dedicated to promoting emerging (and not-so-emerging) talent, with the goal of offering quality musical content and expanding the underground electronic music scene. Through this project, he also embarked on his first experiences as a promoter, organizing parties in collaboration with other collectives, thus strengthening his presence in the local scene by creating spaces where the community can resonate to the rhythm of fresh and authentic offerings.

Independent record label owned by Adam Beyer.
