TECHNO 01

Bulgaria

Recondite - Caldera

After the success of their debut Polina EP (as played by Dixon, Tale of Us, Agoria ), Agents of Time return to Correspondant with their most powerful work to date. 

The Emperor EP sees their sound growing to fill the worlds biggest dance floors, but without losing the signature emotional and cerebral edge which gives their music a notably personal and intimate feel. 

Title track, “Emperor”, has as anthemic a feel as its regal title would suggest. Ploughing a grand and emotional furrow, but with a driving techno Aesthetic.

“Metamorfosi” is a deeper affair, which builds to a tense, spectral conclusion that is simultaneously dramatic and, dare we say it, heart wrenching. 

Hydra is the most minimal track on the EP, yet still manages to be at once dubbed out and theatrical, with skittering and shuffling percussion throughout.

Nazgul continues the tradition of left field house as championed by Correspondant, and as exemplified by label artist Andre Brattan with his track Tromer Og Bass, but with an added horror soundtrack flair which only the Italians can truly bring.

Emperor EP is due out via Correspondant on May 04. 


Agents of Time - Metamorfosi

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.

Featuring heavily on most of Drumcode’s shows due to his impeccable DJ’ing, Bart Skils is back with a new EP flexing his signature rolling sound and hooks. Caressing from one track to another, the use of pads in this EP and using uneasy sounds to build tension in each track. The swelling bass within each track manoeuvres the tracks into dark after hour’s territory with the help of the subtle percussion.

Reset Robot has given us two tracks that are absolutely on fire. ‘Rebellion’ is a slow burning, after-hours groover that packs a punch and harnesses percussion elements to the full effect. ‘The Hanging Gardens Of Babylon’ is a lot more of a melancholic offering and leads into a beautiful crescendo to finish any night off in style.

When Scuba's Claustrophobia dropped back in April we couldn't get enough of it's dark, gritty, gloomy take on jet black techno, and we're still bumping it now. 

Imagine our excitement, then, when we found out that a tonne of our favourite producers were going to rework the entire thing. Audion! Tuff City Kids! Radio Slave! Loads more!

The result was this stunning LP that takes in everything from airy ambient house to demonic 5am churners. We're super stoked to be bringing it to you exclusively here on THUMP.

Recondite returns to Hotflush with two unique techno narratives forged in his inimitable style. Since 2014’s smash, ‘Caldera’, the prolific producer has released two studio albums, as well as a string of notable EPs for the likes of Innervisions, Dystopian and Life & Death.

At once subtle and grand, ‘Phalanx / Warg’ sees Recondite exploring the full range of his distinctive voice. Deep, sinewy techno set with a genuine sense of intrigue, both cuts flood the dance floor with an unsettling warmth.

Berlin-based producer VONDA7 has constructed a stellar reputation with appearances on the likes of Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint and Pan-Pot’s Second State label, among countless top notch releases. This month, she makes her bow on Disorder with a splendid rework of Crowhea’s ‘Skipped Lines’, showcasing a soothing yet powerful, synth-laden masterpiece. We were lucky enough to catch her on a studio break this week, we had the opportunity to run through her relationship with LNOE, her daily routine and the new track.

One year ago, Sodai burst onto the electronic soundscape with fearless River / Ghost from label boss Gardens of God. Renowned for delivering the highest quality with meticulously selected artists, the label has carved out a fresh sound and distinct style. To celebrate the first milestone, Gardens of God solidifies the integrity of the label with the profound Maple EP .

Subtle distorted keys pan the atmosphere in lead track Maple for an enticing start to the EP, before a dominating bass soon carries the track through layers of melodic synths. The sinister tones of Whistler are next and set to cause a serious stir on the dancefloor. Last up, Bek is a solid techno roller with a thundering bass, enhanced by an incredible richness in the haunting synths that echo throughout.

Hotflush is a record label launched by Paul Rose aka Scuba in 2003. Its early period was spent as a central part of London's Bass Music scene which exploded in the mid 2000s, although the label has always been difficult to pigeonhole musically and recent output has focused on Techno and House.
