After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks on each, both consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

CLR is back with release number 83 and has something very special in store this time. Monoloc´s latest effort offers a challenging mixture of various electronic music genres. Apart from the original version and the Monoloc Edit, which occupy the A side of the vinyl, two highly respected producers have contributed remixes to this project, making it an impressive assembly of potential A sides.

Monoloc´s original version underlines the capacity of the Berlin based producer, to create unorthodox, suspenseful Techno with a very personal handwriting. Once more the beat structure, treatment of vocal bits, the selection of sounds and the overall arrangement and production style make his productions easily recognizable and truly unique. His additional edit surprises with a mesmerizing and enchanting sequence, which could easily become one of those laid back after hour sunrise classics. The two versions alone would make a dignified EP already, but then there are the remixes by Roman Lindau and Rødhåd, which turn this release into one of the most diversified CLR releases ever. While Roman Lindau takes a House oriented direction and excellently works out the potential of the track on the more uplifting side of the musical spectrum, Berghain resident Rødhåd explores the dark side of Monoloc´s composition and delivers a haunting Techno version full of well balanced bass, phasing sequences and an irresistible, almost tribal rhythm structure.

CLR083 is one of those releases that characterises the direction the label has taken over the last years and is equally interesting to DJs from all kinds of stylistic branches of the scene. It´s available on vinyl as well as digitally and will surely grace countless record bags and playlists all over the world.

Releasedate : 20 October 2014

Hoodlum - Traumer (Eric Hernandez Mix)

British powerhouse Alan Fitzpatrick returns to Figure with his second EP on the label after 2009's 'Weed Killer / Science'. Since then its clear that Alan has continued on a dedicated, valiant quest to find his own sound, and the results are on show here, with a heavyweight, emotive and futuristic Techno three-tracker.

Like a warm rush of endorphins on the summer breeze, Alan's rich up-building sound is perfectly represented in tracks like 'A Subtle Change', with its jubilant stab-led melody, or the modern club-weapon vibes of 'Trigger Finger'. Harking back to late 90s UK IDM and 'proper' dub-Techno atmospheres, Fitzpatrick then gracefully crafts a down-tempo, space-out version of 'A Subtle Change' for the B-side, providing the afterhours sessioners with a new buzz-track.

A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration.

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint.

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014.

DC140 For An Endless Night (Jel Ford Remix)[Drumcode]

Système apresenta uma estética techno escura e noturna, com foco em timbres secos, estrutura linear e progressão contida.

A construção rítmica é firme e constante, com kicks pesados e elementos percussivos que funcionam como engrenagens, sugerindo um ambiente mecânico e repetitivo. Os sintetizadores têm função mais textural do que harmônica, ampliando a sensação de clausura e tensão.

Système aposta na repetição como forma de hipnose e no espaço negativo como elemento ativo da composição. O resultado é uma faixa sóbria, funcional, feita para a pista, sem concessões estéticas.


Système embraces a darker, more stripped-down approach to techno, with dry textures, linear structure, and a restrained progression.

The rhythmic foundation is solid and mechanical, driven by heavy kicks and percussive elements that resemble gears in motion. Synths are used more for texture than harmony, enhancing the track’s sense of confinement and tension.

Système relies on repetition as a tool for hypnosis and uses negative space as an active compositional element. The result is a sober, functional track — designed for the floor, with no aesthetic compromises.

Wigbert had us Dancing In The Dark Room back in October of last year and makes a quick SCI+TEC return with his latest release ‘Urban Noise’.

Having already explored many musical paths in his career, Wigbert’s current sound is an impressive amalgamation of all that has come before, matched with a tougher, more driving dancefloor delivery. 

The German’s latest four track collection sees him present the gentle and yet electrifyingly ‘Unknown Intro’, a perfect set opener for all.  We’re treated to the intense acidic groove of the title track and are them ramped up further still with the twisted 
sounds of 'Moog Mood’, before a full throttle finalé with the tribal touch and thumping drums of the excellent 'Back To FFM’. 

Another excellent offering from Wigbert and further proof as to why he’s such a firm SCI+TEC favourite.

Tokyo’s finest techno outfit Drunken Kong, return to Session Womb for their second contribution to the imprint with their latest offering ‘How I Work’. The A-side presents a myriad of sound; dubbed out synths jittering rhythms and subtle glitches emerging from a hypnotic, peak time groove. On the B, ‘Can’t Explain’ blossoms a tripped out breakneck concoction of tense synths and pounding drums built steadily around soulful vocal samples.

Dynamic DJ/production outfit Leftwing : Kody make a welcome return to the Truesoul fold.

Londoners Leftwing : Kody made their first impression on Truesoul back in 2016, with the excellent four-tracker ‘Telepathy’. Since this time, they’ve dropped strong releases on Moon Harbour Recordings, Green Velvet’s Relief Records and Desolat, all the while developing their sound to explore the breadth of house and techno’s broad terrain.

‘In The Moment’ EP is the embodiment of this development. The title track kicks off the EP and conjures up atmosphere in spades with its stripped back techno approach, tribal grooves and wonky synth line, while a bongo hook line maintains the energy throughout. ‘You Know’ is an attitude-packed beast, led by ghetto vocals and sleek groovy basslines, with the duo’s masterful drum work ensuring the track pops. No surprise it was championed by Loco Dice throughout the summer. ‘Stutter’ lays it down, pure and simple; a mash of stuttered stabs and squelching techno beats, it manages to occupy an otherworldly atmosphere courtesy of some intergalactic synth effects, giving the track its memorable edge.

Spiteri keeps a strong groove going with a heavy kick and open high-hats, but it is the sputtering deep synths, echoing vocal and sweeping background fx that make the record what it is.
