Drumcode - part 2

In the middle of the summer we are ready to present you 40th release. 
Spartaque is next on IAMT with a solid techno production for our anniversary. The leading track in this package is &#8220;Phantom&#8221;. Inspired by Moscow&#8217;s traffic jams our label&#8217;s boss made a brilliant example of backseat car production. Powerful stabs and incredible breakdown with vocal sample will forward our label to the next level of modern techno sound. 
&#8220;Code Zero&#8221; it&#8217;s a name of our second track from Spartaque. It&#8217;s totally packed with delicious techno grooves mixed with dark and hypnotic synths. Be careful with these two underground records.

IAMT label is ready for a new season. So please enjoy our music and have fun!

Cape Town-based artist Nemeni — known to many as DJ Nemeton — is a dynamic sonic storyteller with a deep love for rolling beats, infectious desert melodies, and gritty, driving basslines.

Bareback Rhythm turned into steel and sweat — two bodies, one loop. Dark minimal techno, hypnotic 4/4, grinding percussion, whispered moans. Risk, lust, and mechanical ecstasy colliding in the underground. Press play if you dare.

Mechanical Lust

We welcome Rob Hes back for his third EP on Tronic. This time he is delivering three peak time tracks all with different moods. “Raised By Another” focuses on a hypnotic analog sequence that delivers the goods every time when played out. Simple and very effective. “Battlefield” is a more straight forward musical techno for peak time business whereas “Failure” is slightly more minimal but still very effective on the floor. Please try these tracks out on play them LOUD.

Nobody has to introduce Felix Kröcher. From his home base in Frankfurt, the very center of Europe, he is able to attract the most simple elements that define sounds in scenes around the continent and like a good alchemist turn them into gold. In Catena EP he demonstrates how simple elements can turn into the deepest, mind blowing creation, without crossing the borders of minimalism. Catena is a master piece of deep techno, while Wigbert's remix to it is a master piece of minimalism and powerful use of synthesizers. In the second track, "Stars", he takes those elements adds a powerful peak time groove that even Umberto Pagliaroli's Tech House remix to it could not astray from. Simply, overwhelmingly, deep.

Felix Kröcher - Catena (Wigbert Remix)

Having developed an impeccable reputation in the past twenty years since delving into the word of turntables and mixtapes at an early age, Sims can be called a genuine legend in the world of techno. As a producer he has remixed Jeff Mills, Chris Liebing, Adam Beyer and Kevin Saunderson as well as releasing on just about every seminal techno imprint there is. As an A&R he’s been at the helm of nine labels, including the highly influential Ingoma and KB Records inc, and continues to steward Theory and Hardgroove towards the boxes of the discerning fans. 

Most recently the London-based producer has seen his ‘Way Back Wednesday’ (with Tony Anderson), ‘Funk You’ and occasional disco radio shows garner huge support while ploughing further energy into the futurist techno club night “Machine’ alongside Kirk Degiorgio. 

It’s with Sims’ multitude of achievements and notoritey in mind that the knowledge that ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is his debut LP is somewhat unbelievable, but fact it is. After initially hooking up with Adam Beyer’s Drumcode imprint late in 2010 after a long standing friendship, the affable and dry witted Sims’ was persuaded to deliver an LP and the lengthy writing and selection process began. The result is 11 superb productions which showcase Ben’s talents, influences and perhaps most importantly, his vision of what techno can and should be. 

From the off ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ is a technicolour affair that refuses to sit too comfortably into one groove, preferring to pull the listener through a range of vibes that, while disparate, flow together perfectly. As the album moves, snippets of new vibes bleed through before developing into themes and this is one of the brilliant elements of ‘Smoke & Mirrors’.  

The rousing and prophetically titled ‘Riots in London’ opener leads us into a frenetic, dub-tinged and filter-driven aesthetic which is neatly carried on in ‘Descent’ but subtly augmented with almost-there soulful vocal samples. This nod to soulful elements is then carried on in the less pacey, house referencing ‘ The Snake’ which fuses stabbing keys to a skipping beat which is as much New York as it is Detroit, London or Berlin. 

As ‘Smoke & Mirrors’ develops, suprises like the out-and-out tech-funk of ‘Back To The Pod’ and the street party disco of ‘Can You Feel It?’ are hinted at but never lack surprise when dropped. The emphatic drive of the huge sounding ‘I Wanna Go Back’ featuring Blake Baxter takes things back to techno territory and does so with real purpose while darker edged tracks such as the lethal ‘Bullet’ and the late-night discordance of  ‘The Afterparty’ ramp up the tension. 

The twilight sections of Sims’ debut are perfectly judged. The dubbed (and blissed) out title track lightens the mood before the slightly more aggressive but widescreen ‘The Calling’ trips proceedings out in anticipation of the closer, the Tyree Cooper vocalled and aptly titled ‘I Feel It Deep’

‘Smoke & Mirrors’ has been more than worth the wait. It’s as balanced, entertaining, engaging and powerful as you’d expect from such an artist as Ben Sims and, complete with artwork from Alan Oldham and collaborations from Blake Baxter and Tyree Cooper, is essential stuff.
