The art of putting together a well-rounded release is maybe one of the lesser-mentioned causalities of the digital music era. Back when artists released EP’s on vinyl it was a given that there would be a main floor track, something maybe more melodic/minimal/funky etc and possibly a track that was totally different, hidden away as the B2 track. Nowadays, in the modern music market, where immediacy is increasingly becoming the main driving forces behind success, the unspoken etiquette of programming an EP begins to loose its relevance to the consumer. A theory that would appear to be backed up by how music producers habits have evolved within this new business environment, with more and more single-track submissions and a focus on delivering stand-out tracks that demand tastemaker attention during their peak time sets.

Contained within this eleven-track compilation is a collection of tracks submitted to Drumcode as demos but which didn’t have other tracks to be partnered with to make up a classical Drumcode EP. Such was the quality and quantity of these stunning one-off tracks that the idea of making them into a compilation was born primarily for practical reasons. As the project grew the idea became a theme and the theme evolved into a finished project – A-Sides - which tells both the story of Drumcode’s recent past with familiarly high-octane tracks from Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati, Gary Beck, Gregor Tresher and Dustin Zahn & Rachel Palmer but also gives a glance into what is to come as the likes of Patrick Siech, Luigi Madonna, Roberto Capuano, Dhillon and Manic Brothers get their chance to contribute to the shaping Drumcode’s future.

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

ELEVATE are proud to present this truly envelope pushing single from the multinational Dream-team. 
Pig&Dan - Monika Kruse once again prove their studio synergy by delivering two new slices of cutting edge techno.
Kicking off with the trashy and euphoric “Into the light". This dancefloor smasher sounds reminiscent of the late 80’s and features a deep bass that blows sound systems balls off. Melodic elements creep up and rap you up in a lush smiley faced blanket.
Second up we hear a new side from the unique trio  “Don’t let the shadow” , featuring a Berhain-esk drive, this beast lets loose beginning to end and really shows off their darker side. 
Purity meets unidentified flying objects...

This amazing Slip N Slide track, originally signed from Josh Wink’s then newly established Ovum, was an instant acid house classic back in 1995. Now it gets a welcome re-touch for Ibiza, where we predict an Acid House revival, and who better to lead the pack than original German acid house pioneers Hardfloor.

The real connoisseurs will remember the German duo, Oliver Bondzio &amp; Ramon Zenker, and their many classic releases on seminal labels such as EyeQ, Harthouse, and Orbit, not the least the amazing epic “Acperience”, which is still a sought after classic and a track often quoted as a main influence with today’s top level DJs.
Those who came on board late, will no doubt remember Yello vs. Hardfloor “Vicious Games”  and of course their amazing remixes of Mory Kante’s “Yeke Yeke”, and New Order’s “Blue Monday”, all of which set the genre standard back in the day  and nobody’s ever really been able to top them.

King Britt needs almost no further introduction, these days he is considered a legend in the dance industry, and his many fans the world over are as supportive today as they were 10 years ago, both in respect of his productions, remixes, dj-sets and live shows. His collaboration here, with poet and performer Ursula Rucker, is considered one of his finest, and the track has been remixed and bootlegged numerous times, evidence that the demand for this record hasn’t dwindled since it’s first release, over 15 years ago. ACEEEEED!!

<p>Serbian risings Stars Locomatica make their debut cut on Phobiq Recordings with an outstanding release. &#8216;Drumpack&#8217; is first on the line and the result is nothing else than a pretty dark techno production which flows nicely thanks to atmospheric drums. Joey Beltran takes control with his signature style remixing &#8216;Drumpack&#8217; and delivering a different shape, thanks to some hard hitting break beats and a very innovative bassline. Second original piece is the &#8216;Breakline&#8217; which features a very smoothy and bouncy melody with great atmospheric elements on the background. &#8216;Deception&#8217; finishes this techno journey and turns the heat up with dark humming pads combined with hypnotic strings all over. Check these two techno stars featured in another solid release from Phobiq Recordings.</p>
