Donny Carr steps into HIGHER STATES with a bold 2-piece musical statement.

Known for genre-blurring explorations that unite deep, progressive, techno, and classic house, Utah-based music producer Donny Carr is the latest artist to align with the HIGHER STATES vision. A former saxophonist turned producer, Carr brings over 15 years of live-performance experience to high-level studio precision, resulting in a sound defined by groove, atmosphere, and instrumental soul.

His debut on HIGHER STATES aligns seamlessly with Roger Martinez’s musical vision: deeply textured, emotionally resonant progressive music with heart and drive. Within this perspective Carr however completely weaves his own distinct sonic trajectory, balancing great technical finesse with profound emotive resonance. Expect this release to stand as both a creative leap for Carr and a milestone in genre innovation.

DOLBY D & MATT MUS - Blood And Sand  ( original )

Karim Sahraoui, known by releases on labels such as Transmat, Cocoon and ARTS, as well as DJ appearances on Boiler Room and on dancefloors all around the world, makes his debut on OFF Recordings.

Book Of Life is a melodic techno track in Karim's signature style. Warm and emotional, albeit with a strong drive for the dancefloor, it can set a strong accent in a set.

Italy's DAST created a slamming peaktime techno interpretation, which is sure to create a massive effect on the dancefloor. Syncopated chords and a rolling groove build towards an epic break.

"Exodus" is aptly named as a perfect track to close the set by the end of the night. Lush and warm pads and melodies evoke a warm and optimistic atmosphere.

Anton Pieete remixed Exodus with a minimalistic and more groove-focused interpretation.

Altogether an EP with a timeless feel, spanning the borders between techno, house and electronica.

Now in its second decade, with a steady stream of the most forward thinking and cutting edge techno productions, Drumcode has one of the biggest selections of releases from industry heavy hitters, whilst not forgetting its future by bringing the newest talented producers into the limelight, where Layton Giordani is now a name firmly within that line up.

The New York born, but now EU based producer first had recognition back in 2014, and his debut release came via Drumcode with his track “Rivington” on the A-Sides Vol5 compilation in 2016. 

Consisting of 12 original tracks, the album packs a punch when it comes to no-nonsense techno. Successfully weaving relentless drums and catchy vocal hooks into a selection of thick, brooding, atmospheric tracks.

Making his debut on Drumcode in 2017 with his track ‘Fake’ featured on the A-Sides Vol 6 compilation, one of Brazil’s much loved exports Wehbba brings us his first full EP this February with ‘Eclipse’.

A no nonsense 4 track offering, and all thoroughly road tested by Adam, they have gained much support from longtime Drumcode fans. Eclipse, delivers a low end rumble along with a modulating synth line. Reigning high throughout the track, is the undeniably catchy and unique synth. Leaving this track one to be recognised on dancefloors all over the world.

‘Protocol’ doesn't turn down the pace, straight into a chugging hypnotic drive, this track leaks with attitude, along it’s eerie undertones.

Probably the most acid influenced track of the EP, ‘Glasswerk’ has a futuristic modular synth riff which thunders along a hypnotic bass line which flows nicely into ‘Framework’ to close out the EP. Its punchy and powerful kick sits alongside the cleverly crafted synth pattern, taking this track into a dark zone with a groovy element still resonant.

ID149 - Through The Lens EP

HSH_PREMIERE: Brennen Grey - Through The Lens (Original Mix) [Intec]

Almost one year in the making, Bulgaria’s outstanding techno talent lands his return to Drumcode with a four-track EP. 

Timmo (aka Valeri Ivanov) doesn’t do things in half measures. Since the release of his excellent ‘System’ EP last year and ‘Muzik’, his inclusion on A-Sides Vol.6, he’s committed himself to crafting, refining and polishing a quartet of cuts inspired by the cosmic realms beyond planet earth. Titled ‘Meteorite’, its release marks 10 years since he first began producing and stakes its claim as a resounding career highlight with tracks already highlighting gigs for Adam Beyer at Tobacco Dock, Awakenings, Future Kappa Festival and Junction 2.

Beginning with the title track, the streamlined work throbs with a searing synthetic pulse. ‘Black Moon’ sees the EP land its first blow, kicking with a mixture of undulating synths and understated hoovers. ‘Spacetime’ stays true to its name delivering intergalactic techno vibes. ‘Cosmos’ concludes the work, taking us into extra-terrestrial dancefloor territory, with a barrage of trippy synth work and a melodic underbelly the makes the track both beautiful and heavy-hitting in equal measure.

Riding the wake of their awesome contribution to the last Mutual Respekt compilation, we welcome Steam Shape back to Respekt with another sharp 2-tracker.

'Into My Veins' teases with an insistent arpeggio and haunting spoken vocal, before dropping the hammer with a quirky syncopated synth hook.
The supporting cast is no less punchy; 'Forget About Time' fuses a low, polyrhythmic 303 sequence with sidechained sirens and a higher acid pattern to devastating effect.
