A1 The Choice Is Mine
B1 The Choice Is Mine (Rødhåd Remix)

Dutch legend and Wolfskuil inner circle member Benny Rodrigues returns to the label for a fresh twelve. In the DJ booth he has no equal and established himself as one of the world’s premier selectors. Besides his ominous DJ skills, Benny has been making waves in the studio the last couple of years as well. Wether it be as ROD or under his own name, respected imprints worldwide have embraced and released his productions with eagerness. Klockworks, CLR, Drumcode and Desolat are just a few of the labels he can call home now.

Wolfskuil wouldn’t be Wolfskuil if we didn’t pick the ‘odd one’ of the litter. The Choice Is Mine might be the most freaked out & modulated excersize Benny has yet to unleash upon the world. No 4 bars in this mental trip are the same, ever evolving around a sequence that brings old 90’s warehouse techno to mind. 

A peaktime monster like this deserves a royal rework. Berghain resident, Dystopian head honcho and man of the moment Rødhåd happily agreed to give his own and unique vision on the original. The result is stunning, psychedelic and with a little unexpected surprise in the final part of his remix and compliments the original in a perfect. Another Gem in our catalogue, we hope you will enjoy this as much as we do!

Florida 135 Resident, Mixmag one-to-watch this month and all-round man of the moment Andres Campo continues to smash his name all over 2017… This time with his debut release on Nicole Moudaber’s mighty MOOD – ‘Blind Call’. 

The only cold caller you’d ever really want to receive, Campo dials deep into our personals with a tightly poised groove. Weighted with his resounding rounded warm kicks and sparkling percussion, we’re soon swept away into another world as the sombre vocal textures and smouldering keys ripple, reflect and gradually envelop us in a way that complements all techno and house styles. Restrained, subtle and timeless – it’s one of Andres’ moodiest compositions to date.

Remix-wise MOOD welcome the legendary Pig & Dan on board for an equally exceptional version. Retaining the restraint but refocusing the momentum through an acid arpeggio, added layers of texture and a rolling techno dynamic, Pig & Dan’s signature controlled heaviness and latent funk is coded deep into every element.

One deeply atmospheric original, one killer remix - two remarkable moments for your sets this season. MOOD are kicking off the summer in style right here. Call us!

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.

1: Pan-Pot - Weltlinie (Gregor Tresher Remix)
2: Pan-Pot - Startphase (Gary Beck Remix)
3: Pan-Pot - Exzentrisch (Shlomi Aber Remix)
4: Pan-Pot - Zeit (DEAS Remix)
5: Pan-Pot - Freigeist (Gary Beck Remix)

Coming in hot off the release of their recent Weltlinie EP, Pan-Pot return with four of their cohorts who have taken all five tracks and reworked them into a bundle of stellar remixes on the Weltlinie Remixes EP.
Kicking things off is Frankfurt legend Gregor Tresher who twists ‘Weltlinie' into a relentless, yet delirious venture with his signature brand of infectious grooves and floating atmospherics, resulting in a timeless future classic. Up next we see Glasgow’s own Gary Beck reshape not one but two tracks into fierce, heavy hitting Techno bombs. Beck’s first take is ‘Startphase’, where he wastes no time in getting straight to the point as relentless, hi-pace percussion sets the tone for untamed aural animations sure to set the speakers on fire. Shlomi Aber steps to the plate next and serves up a stripped down, yet tough adaptation of ‘Exzentrisch’ where percussion is king, emanating in a rowdy dance floor detonation. Following is Poland’s rising star DEAS who takes ‘Zeit’ into sinister territories perfect for dark spaces and peak time encounters that will surely set the floor on fire. Wrapping up the EP is Beck’s second attack with his rework of ‘Freigeist’, and here we see him take a somewhat different approach where harmony and emotion take center stage as lush harmonics float over Beck’s trademark high energy programming.
No matter what your style of Techno happens to be, we are sure you will find something here to satisfy aural obligations.

Bristolian DJ and producer, edetto, has been immersed in his home city's thriving electronic music scene for the past few years, and comes to the attention of fellow Bristolian, and @ei8htrecords label boss, @eatseverything, who has plucked four tracks from the rising talent to form the ‘Hustler’ EP.

Already with three self-released singles under his belt, edetto presents his drum driven productions for Eats Everything & Andres Campo’s EI8HT imprint, which has been driving intelligent and funky techno releases from the likes of Truncate, Gaston Zani, Black Girl / White Girl, Dave Sinner, as well as releases from the label bosses themselves.

Crisp and rolling techno sounds are stamped all over the ‘Hustler’ EP, each of the four cuts peppered with vocal refrains. From the propulsive pace and rasping bleeps of the title track, to the swinging jack-trax vibes of ‘Two Toads’, edetto demonstrates his ear for infectious and spirited techno tracks that have him in good stead for a luminous path ahead.
