A resident of the iconic Stereo club in Montreal, Atroxx arrives with his first full EP on Kraftek. The aptly titled opening track "Anvil" is just a brutal masterpiece of heaviness. With a few simple respites thrown in, the track is relentless in its visceral energy. For the title track, Marck D from Medellin joins Atroxx for a moody and at times melodic affair that encapsulates the power & beauty of the cosmic techno sound we love. Closing out the EP, the bass heavy and brooding "4Me", with vocals from Atroxx himself. We are very proud to present Atroxx & Marck D's "Adrift EP".

Support from Adam Beyer / Nicole Moudaber / Alan Fitzpatrick / Monika Kruse & more.

Atroxx - 4Me

A powerful concoction of reverb-heavy basslines and glitchy effects, that’s been thoroughly road tested by both Beyer and Wehbba.

EARLIEST MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
I have very vivid memories of the road trips my family used to have when I was a little kid, either going to the beach or to the countryside, or even abroad, on which my father was always blasting stuff like The Beatles, Iron Butterfly, or Phil Collins, he used to bang his fingers on the dashboard of the car doing the infamous drum fill on “In The Air Tonight”. His passion for music really struck me, this intensity of listening to amazing music loud and finger drumming on the wheel and dashboard was so contagious, it simply shaped my whole life. Crazy…it’s the simple things...


THE IDEAL SETTING TO LISTEN TO THIS?
Find a way to be completely within yourself, completely present, completely in the moment, no past memories, no future projections, just you, here and now. Mind Awake, body too. Find speakers with lots of bass. Rinse, repeat.

Premiere: Wehbba - Mind Awake [Drumcode]

Slovenian DJ and producer Umek has released Vibrancy, the second EP in as many months on his own 1605 label, out 31st May.

The weighty, three-track release comes off the back of April’s 19119, and sees the veteran artist combine a tougher techno sound with more emotive, melodic elements. The EP’s title track is the clearest example of this, with a pounding kick-drum making way for a groove-laden breakdown halfway through. ‘Acid Rain’ is a heavier proposition, a full acid workout that harks back to Umek’s rave-era beginnings. Loosening off somewhat, closing track ‘Constellations’ is underpinned by a steady, measured groove.
   
"Vibrancy" is evidence of a versatile artist capable of pairing emotional melodies with the heaviest of techno beats, and is out 31st May via 1605.

Vibrancy EP

Premiere: UMEK "Vibrancy" - 1605

https://WeAreTheBrave.lnk.to/ComeTogether

Eli continues to establish himself as one of the UK’s most prolific producers and it’s easy to see why. With releases like his hit collaboration with Solardo ‘XTC’ currently hitting the dizzy heights of daytime Radio 1, and anthems like ‘Brazil’ (Repopulate Mars), ‘Inside My Head’ (Black Book) and ‘BS48’ (Big Beat) causing damage on the international club circuit, his talents have garnered key support from every corner of the dance music spectrum.

This release marks yet another pivotal moment in Eli Brown’s career as he steps into the darker / underground world of Alan Fitzpatrick. Add to this the widespread support from the likes of Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Fisher, Claude VonStroke, Solardo, Black Madonna, Denis Sulta, Calvin Harris, Annie Mac & more and it’s easy to see why everyone is talking about “Eli Brown.” 

The EP kicks off with title track ‘Come Together’. A concoction of solid 909 kicks and snappy percussion which come alive once the rolling bass fires off. Keyed melodics at the break take the track in a completely unexpected direction, bringing the listener to their knees.

Deeper but equally upbeat, ‘Thinking About You’ revels in a warm ‘90s glow with powerful rave stabs that drive the track forward. Pads and extra FX complete a clever ode to the UK Hardcore scene.

‘92 Thing’ opens into a deeply vibey groove-a-thon with “ecstasy” vocal shots for full effect! Tough drums and scattergun percussion keep things grounded into 2019, as the classic Juno pads send the old school crew into raptures.

Outside of the studio, Eli Brown embraces a busy tour schedule with a stacked summer of shows in Ibiza alongside performances for Bodyworks, ANTS, ABODE and Toolroom. The ‘Come Together’ EP falls around an eleven-date North American Tour, and marking just one of the countless trips across the pond for Eli Brown this year, it’s no wonder he’s earned a reputation as one of the hardest DJ’s in the scene.

A testament to the growth of Adam Beyer’s scene-leading label, Drumcode annual A-Sides Vol.8 is the brand’s biggest yet.

The 25-track strong compilation features standout cuts Beyer has received over the last 12 months, but been unable to find room for in Drumcode’s regular release schedule, such is the volume and high standard of music that’s submitted.

The highlight-rich compilation includes Jamie Jones & Darius Syrossian’s buzzy Drumcode debut ‘Eyes of the Night’, Nicole Moudaber’s first DC release in 5 years with the mesmerizing ‘This Is Us’, Will Clarke’s bass-drenched re-work of Adam Beyer & Bart Skils ‘Your Mind’ and Joey Beltram’s first Drumcode release in 11 years with the retro-tinged ‘Can You Feel It’. 

The beloved Alan Fitzpatrick returns to the fold with the searing ‘Heiße Rakete’, alongside label mainstays Layton Giordani, who drops the stirring chord-driven ‘Chrome’ and Wehbba with ‘Mantra’, combining techno classicism with future-focused groove.

There’s a troupe of debutants donning the Drumcode jersey for the first time, including BEC, Shelley Johannson, Anthony Castaldo, Avision, Zimmz, Woo York, SAMA (in a terrific collaboration with Secret Cinema) and Ilija Djokovic, who delivers a shimmering highlight with ‘Aura’, a particular favourite of Beyer’s over the last year. Raxon also debuts on the label after a couple of quality additions to the Truesoul back catalogue.

Exciting young guns Weska and Juliet Fox bring heat to the compilation, while Veerus and Timmo follow up strong DC releases with a repeat dose. Elsewhere faithful contributors Ramon Tapia, Jay Lumen, Luca Agnelli, Marco Bailey and Mark Reeve craft powerful dancefloor weapons.
