There are very few artists that have gone from being radically unknown to one of the most desired up-and-coming techno acts in the world within such a short time. Known as Derry's Dangerous Duo, @RIOTCODE has quickly burst onto the global club circuit with a palpable force.

2022 was RIOT CODE's year as the disguised pairing released their hugely awaited single 'Uncivil Jungle' via HOMAGE and other projects on well-known labels like NineTimesNine, Elixyr, Molekül, Reckless, and Paula Temple's Noise Manifesto.

Now, the boys enter 2023 guns blazing with the release of 4EVER. Pumping hyper rhythms, bright infectious chords, and booming baselines are tearing through clubland, and thankfully, this project has em' all. It's euphoric electronica, uplifting trance, heads-down breaks, and hard techno. The perfect cocktail and we're all havin' it.

On October 4, 2024, Vel will make a splash with the release of her debut LP, MTY-011 «There is Always a Solution», through Anetha’s label, Mama Told Ya. After 3 exciting EPs and the recent rise of her Live performance, Vel made waves last year with the track «Velds1» on MTY-AIR «Mille Attaques, Les Vents Contrèrent» in collaboration with LDS. She is now ready to unveil her first full-length album.

«There is Always a Solution» flows with two slippery vinyl records and 10 immersive tracks. Nine tracks are produced solely by Vel, while one is co-produced by Vel and Anetha. Once again, Mama Told Ya returns with a valuable lesson: no matter the challenge, you will flow a way.

Vel is back with a mesmerizing new album featuring 10 tracks that draw you in with her captivating energy. Are you ready to heed the call? The High Priestess of Drums plunges us into a world of vibrant Techno and brisk Tribal rhythms, while her Ambient passages offer a calming retreat and her Mental influences are bound to stir your emotions. Rest assured, “there is always a solution.” Renowned for her expertise in rhythmic innovation and spatial soundscapes, Vel presents a revitalizing and dynamic release. MTY-011 promises to cleanse and rejuvenate—let yourself be immersed.

With a hint of irony, The Babe (A1) playfully teases, “Do you love me? Do you love my music?” But Vel’s real question is more reflective: you’re in deep water. Dive into the sound bath of Humans in Cafe (A2), close your eyes, and let the drums, the kicks, the bangs, and the buzz wash over you. One Xanax Introspection (A3) later, Vel is inviting us to explore the full spectrum of frequencies—a galloping race of deep bass and high treble in this ambient choreography.

« Don’t let the relentless BPM Anxiety (B1) drown you. Its tortured synth may try to hold you back, but you’re free. You’re in your Pop Tribe (B2), and nothing can stop you—DRUM BIG. »

Darling it's better down where it's wetter: joining Vel for a jam session « under the sea », it’s Anetha! Driving percussions are combining with a pulsating psytrance bassline, pure magic: « Ain’t We Mermaids (C1), dear? » Vel, ever the master of the salty beats, slows it down just enough to say, «I Don’t Care (C2),» as she deconstructs. A few moments later… She’s at it again—just when the BPMs are peaking, she draws us into a state of floating lethargy. That’s the absorbing power of Ambient Core (C3).
The current is strong with this one—prepare for a challenge. Deep Tracks Don’t Sell (D1) will drift you away in a swirl of intertwining undulations and dripping drums. It’s time to return to the surface: with a bubbly twist of whimsy, Oh La La (D2) pops in, full of new-wave energy. Vel gently swims us back to shore.

For this new LP, the artwork was crafted in-house under Vel’s artistic direction. The design was skillfully executed by Diplomatie Studio, while mastering was entrusted to In Aeternam Vale, Vel’s close friend and mentor.

"Beats from the Underworld" production album & "Beats from the Underworld (The Remixes) available NOW !

With eyeball-popping, eardrum-throbbing beats and ingenious guitar-driven crescendos, Empirion has created a unique sound that finally fills that vacuous gap in the world of techno, falling somewhere between Front 242, Orbital and Prodigy. While maintaining visceral mayhem, Empirion has also managed to infuse a sense of humanity to their music-it's almost organic electronica.

Empirion credits this amazing quality to their exclusive use of low-tech, archaic equipment and the incorporation of band member Oz Morsley's old fashioned rock guitar solos. Even more remarkable in this age of frenzied sampling, the album contains almost no samples and is composed entirely of sounds that the band creates on their collection of old-school equipment, including an Atari computer. Advanced Technology is a rare dance album, infused with musicianship and artistry.

In 1993, the trio exploded onto England's rave scene with the now-classic "Narcotic Influence," included on this album. Richly layered, this track saturates their audience with the beat and sends it reeling on a six minute rollercoaster ride. The now-infamous "Giving them drugs, taking their lives away" hook has become a tongue-in-cheek anthem for technoheads everywhere. 
Tucked away in Essex, the band is free from the pollution and creative obstacles of London's throbbing pulse. The album is crammed full of original ideas and soul-drenching atmosphere. "New Religion" recalls a sound close to Orbital, but Trent Reznor's influence is also a strong presence; "Jesus Christ," with its ever-building frenzy, is met by the simpler, more mellow "Ayahuasca." This versatility gives Empirion tremendous staying power.
