Harvey McKay starts his next single using a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey’s unique style with ‘Silk Road’. The second track ‘Slip’ uses ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combining two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The third and final track ‘Start Running’ is chuggy and uses a mesmerising bass loop to draw a dancefloor in. The vocal stabs sit nicely on top before the lead vocal gives the track character and definition.

Reezy – Dripped Out In Designer (House Blend)

EP04 is the latest release from a unique project that fuses organic biological data with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, exploring the boundaries of modern electronic music production. This four-track EP documents a deep dive into the darker, more intense side of minimal tech house.
The Concept: Nature Meets Machine

The foundation of every track on EP04  originates from a single source: a raw audio clip ("Clip 3") recorded from the bio-generated electrical signals of a living plant. This organic input was then processed and fed into an AI generation system, forming the core bassline of the EP.

The Experiment: Manipulating Harmonic DNA

The tracks on the EP are the result of a controlled sonic experiment. We maintained a consistent sonic template—dry, stripped-down production using classic Roland 909 drums and a driving 124 BPM tempo—while methodically altering the track's fundamental harmonic center: the minor key.

c3_10 (D Minor): A deep, focused groove that establishes a classic, reliable tech house foundation.

c3_9 (D Minor): A subtle variation demonstrating the inherent, beautiful randomness the AI introduces, even under identical constraints.

c3_6 (F# Minor): This track introduces a deliberate, subtle tension and an unsettled feel, designed for complex DJ transitions and extended listening.

c3_4 (C# Minor): The most intense and dramatic track of the set, leveraging a lower, richer key to enhance the perceived depth of the "underground" aesthetic.
Observations on the Creative Process

This release provides insight into the modern co-creative process. While we successfully achieved precise control over the rhythm, dynamics, and overall production aesthetic, the melodic and harmonic aspects that were left unspecified felt less refined. This highlights a crucial observation: true creative control in AI generation requires clear, intentional direction. The human touch—defining the intent and curating the final output—remains essential to the artistic outcome.
EP03 Cocover invites listeners to experience the fascinating intersection of nature, algorithm, and human curation.

Atmos Minimal – 4th Wave explores the deeper, darker side of minimal techno.  
Heavy sub-bass pressure, glitch fragments, drifting atmospheres and precise, futuristic grooves form the core of this chapter.  
Each track moves through its own sonic layer — from spectral lines to submerged patterns, from fractured mirages to cascading shadows.

Designed for late-night sessions, deep focus and underground techno lovers, 4th Wave delivers hypnotic energy and cinematic tension in pure minimal form.

Mark Reeve - Can't You See (Original Mix) [Drumcode]

Mark Reeve - Redemption (Original Mix) DRUMCODE

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.

Renato Cohen has remade his Pontape original eleven years on, bringing new life to one of techno’s classic records. Beginning with the immediately recognisable droning bass line that has become so synonymous with the release, Cohen introduces a build during the middle section that gives the track a new depth second time around. Alan Fitzpatrick has been selected for remix duties, adding a contemporary twist to this classic track by retaining the original hook-line using the drone in the breaks but adding his own synth-stab to bring a new and interesting dimension to the track.
