Timmo’s debut Drumcode release ‘We Beat On’ carries a flow through out that gives Timmo his own unique sound that has captured the ears of many highly revered techno DJ’s around the world. Timmo uses hypnotic sounds and phrases whilst he always maintains a thumping techno beat that underlies all the tracks within this EP to maximum effect. Furthermore, there is a ghostly feel amongst Timmo’s tracks that really provide him with his acquired sound, the pads in ‘Canvas’ are a beautiful reminder of this. Timmo also uses strong synth stabs to full effect that juxtapose against the drums to help create the tension and aggression that is present within techno.

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 each, 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.

Artist(s): Woo York
Title: I Am Against
Label: Soma 

A1. I Am Against
A2. In The End
B. I Am Against Ø (Phase) Remix

Following their ongoing relationship with Soma Records, Ukrainian duo Woo York are set to release their new record that proves to be somewhat representative of recent dramatic events in their country. Entitled I Am Against, both the main track and the EP itself are referring to the developments that lead to revolutionary struggle of the Ukrainian people. Fighting inequality, saying what you have to say and doing what you have to do seem to be the core ideas of the record. You might have figured that out yourself by spotting a rebel protester from January's clash with riot police depicted on the record sleeve. The EP also features a special remix from UK Techno producer, Ø [Phase].

Music-wise the EP presents the same idea: the epic energy of the title track highlights the drive that was fuelling peaceful individuals to go out onto the streets and fight for their rights. An excellent remix from Ø [Phase] follows a similar path, although in its own original way that has made the UK-based artist's name associated with the finest techno to date.  Closing the EP 'In The End' is a more abstract side of Woo York's music works that reminds us once again: every single act of violence is bound to come to an end at some point.

"Are you ready to rise up and take your life into your own hands?" So goes Nick Maurer's challenge on Mark Deutsche & Musoé's stunning new transmission of pounding, deadly deep techno. Justly feted for 2013's "Push" - a big, bold and booming calling card - Mark Ullrich and Turgay Avicoglu kick off 2015 in fine style for Senso Sounds with this equally brilliant track.
The original mix packs a punch with a windpipe-rattling kick and Maurer's stento- rian spoken-word performance before a grainy melodic riff whips you higher and higher into oblivion. The textures are delicious, the rhythms understated yet com- plex.
On remix duties, Alex Dolby creates a stupendous wobble in the space-time conti- nuum - an interpretation that vibrates, ripples and quivers in an edgy, avant-garde manner. Meanwhile, Senso Sounds label boss Oliver Huntemann takes a big-room techno approach with textbook build up, breakdown and a climactic pay-off, precision-tooled for the dancefloor.
On the strength of this package alone - and with more releases scheduled on an array of underground labels - 2015 is going to be a big year for this very dynamic duo.

B1. Regal - SCTR [Inv008]

He describes his style as “techno adventures between jungle and space.” We definitely agree on that one. We are glad to welcome Patrick Siech for our 59th podcast. It is not a coincidence we yet again welcome a Swedish grandmaster. It is simply a fact that Sweden is blessed with great producers and dj’s. During the last years Patrick has released his music on Drumcode, Parabel, Break New Soil, Phobiq , MB Elektroniks and Octopus Music. For this occasion, our residents Thomas Vrijhof and STØRM have set up a few questions for Patrick. Read below his answers.
C: It’s a pleasure having you on the show Patrick. We read somewhere that you are a well-known promoter in Sweden. Are you still active as a promoter now-a-days ?
P: I started out DJing at the late 90s, and at some point me and a couple of friends started throwing parties because there were not many good clubs to play at in my home town;  a student city called Lund, in the south. I was really lucky that the nights became so popular, because no clubs played techno here back then. I haven’t been promoting nights since 2008 or so. You have a thousand worries concerning the club, not even to mention the financial part. 

C: As a DJ/promoter you’ve probably experienced many club nights. What would be the perfect night for you as a dj? What artists would be on the bill and etc? 
P: The gig that i remember as my best so far was probably when playing Sunday evening at the Berghain main floor, where everyone on the floor is completely susceptible to every little move you make as a selector. The vibe of that place just gives back so much more energy than you put in. And that’s a place where you pretty much give it all :) This is probably why DJs there can keep up the 10-12hr closing sets. It’s a very special feeling of energy, unity, and responsibility to the ravers, that is unique to that DJ booth. It was actually my birthday also, so it’s probably the closest to a perfect gig I’ve had so far.
The question about the perfect night is one that i think about often. There’s a lot of things that has to come together. But there is one main thing I try to think about regarding the DJ: Some DJs has got the ability to bring out a very primal tribal behaviour in the crowd. They’re able to suck you in, hypnotize and unite all the individuals in the dance floor into one single collective mind, giving everyone on the floor the feeling that they’re experiencing a very special unity through the music. This is the kind of DJing that inspires me. 
The latest set like this i experienced was Donato Dozzy at Breakfast Club on ADE, he always captures the ravers in a very special way. He would probably be on my bill. On the top of my head Joel Mull always does it as well, Omar S, Efdemin, Radio Slave and Sebastian Mullaert from Minilogue, they all got the unite-the-ravers-thing going.

C: What would be the most extra-ordinary or weird situation you have ever experienced as a DJ? 
P: Around 6-7 years ago I still played control vinyls with my computer. A small club gig, and it wasn’t very busy, but suddenly when I looked away and talked to a friend my laptop was hijacked by a drunk girl who tried to open my Spotify…  Pretty much the track-request-clubber taken to its extreme. This was the last time i ever took my computer on stage.

C:We’ve noticed some unreleased material of you have been used in some mixes of fellow dj’s, any particular releases we should look out for? 
P: I’ve got a new one with Sebastian Mullaert coming out soon., it will be vinyl only. And I have tons of stuff that I’m just sitting on myself at the moment, thinking about what to do with. So when you hear them played, it’s normally only by really close friends who I’ve sent the tracks to for feedback. 

C: Thank you Patrick for taking your time to records this podcast and chatting with us. 
P: Thank you very much for having me, I hope you will feel the mix and what I’m trying to express with it!

The duo make their debut to Drumcode Limited with a heavy, two track release. The EP showcases a mix of their talents and influences to create a moody, dark techno groove. The atmospheric EP is enriched with gritty reverbs and a deep kick drum and the slow, deep crescendos in each track create an intense sound. Mullaert and Siech prove themselves again with a powerful offering to Drumcode Limited.

With the opening track providing an atmospheric techno masterpiece, dubspeeka’s production ability shines through with a staccato synth melody providing a unique listening experience. Staying true to the melodic techno sound that has propelled dubspeeka to the forefront of the global underground music stage, K354 and K375 showcases his ability to conjure varying sounds with chilling vocal samples and distorted percussion sounding out through each production respectively. With dubspeeka’s prominence within the techno world flourishing faster than any other artist within the field, ‘Unfriended’ makes yet another decisive point in this eclectic artists career.

Drumcode favourite Bart Skils kickstarts the new year with his sixth EP for the label Bark Skils opens new year's season with his 6th hard hitting EP released on Drumcode

Since his debut on Drumcode in 2012, Bart Skils has been one of the label’s most regular contributors, with the Dutchman’s brand of functional, hook-driven techno a go-to weapon for Adam Beyer; from his stellar ‘Shadowprint’ EP in 2014, to last year’s classy remix of Moby’s ‘Go’. One of The Netherland’s hardest working ambassadors for techno, he is the organiser of the beloved Voltt Love Summer Festival that’s has been a favourite of Beyer’s for many years. 

His latest work for Drumcode, ‘Bells of the Revolution’ continues his impeccable reputation for quality with everything he does, with four cuts all with their own distinct storyline. The title track is characterised by dark driving grooves and bubbling acid line that slowly evolves into a lush melodic riff. ‘Ocean Drive’ nose-dives into deeper techno territory, while maintaining a sense of exquisite tension throughout. ‘Vocalized’ follows, a stomping acid techno cut that slides into the deep courtesy of skilfully programmed vox and elegant licks of melody. The EP concludes with ‘Retrodade’, a track that’s been one of the biggest in Beyer’s sets in 2017 and features the famous vocal from Rozalla’s ‘Everybody’s Free’. The sample was used with kind permission from the iconic ‘90s singer.

Alan Fitzpatrick's new EP 'In the Beginning' makes the most of the industrial techno style with ambient percussion to create space and rhythm giving ‘In the Beginning’ a big warehouse feel. The droning synth carries the track through before a melodic synth line gives the track the boldness that has seen the Alan Fitzpatrick sound become infamous around the world. Lexicon uses a pitch bending synth as well as old-school synth strings and pads to create another atmospheric track that will be a staple in any techno set.

Artist: Gregor Tresher
Title: Nightcolors
Cat: BNSCD003
Format: CD, 12inch, Digital
Label: Break New Soil
Releasedate: July 5th, 2013

Break New Soil is thrilled to present Gregor Tresher´s brand new full length artist album "Nightcolors", marking the next chapter in a series of releases and remixes that have underlined his status as one of the most prolific and influential artists in electronic music today.

After a string of chart-topping EP’s on Cocoon, Drumcode and Music Man earlier this year and two high profile remixes this spring (Depeche Mode - Soothe My Soul, Moby - The Lonely Night), Gregor went back into the studio to craft his latest offering for his very own label, Break New Soil. 

The new album embodies the signature Tresher-sound from peak hour, techno-driven dance floor bangers („Permafrost“, „Black Relief“) over darker electronica tracks that mark a connection to his earlier Sniper Mode works („Pelican Dreaming“, „Apparition“), to lush and cerebral soundscapes that shape the album into a complete listening experience - and of course there are the signature sounding melodic tracks that Gregor´s name has become a trademark for („Nightcolors“ and his latest Cocoon hitsingle „About A Good Place“).

Accompanying the release, Gregor embarks on an extensive album tour that will include a mixture of exclusive live performances as well as DJ gigs starting at the end of May at Movement Detroit (US). The tour will touch down on some of the most prolific music festivals in the world such as Love Family Park (DE), Exit Festival (RS), Sonar (ES), Loveland (NL), SonneMondSterne (DE), Barrakud Festival (HR), and will culminate at ADE in Amsterdam at the annual Break New Soil Label Showcase in October. There will be a select group of clubs featured on the tour such as Berghain (Berlin), Fabric (London), Studio 80 (Amsterdam), Output (New York), Sankeys (Ibiza), Sound (Los Angeles) and Warung (Brazil) amongst others.  

Gregor Tresher began his career as a DJ in Frankfurt in the early '90s; today, he can be found plying that trade at venues around the world, from Berlin to Tokyo, Sydney to Los Angeles. In addition to releasing tracks on countless esteemed labels including Cocoon, Music Man, Drumcode, Ovum, Intacto, Moon Harbour and of course his very own Break New Soil, Gregor´s remix history includes artists like Depeche Mode, Sven Väth, Moby, Extrawelt and many more.
