Tracks we're diggin' 2day | 27.07.2016

Join the dots then dash it all to hell. Dynamic duo Shadow Child and Mark Archer link up once again for another rave romp 'Morse Code' and no amount of emergency messages are going to save our souls!

An absolutely awesome collaboration, the force between Shadow Child and Altern-8 don and all-round rave pioneer Mark Archer has been strong for some time now. First appearing on Super Rhythm Trax together under their MASC guise in 2018 with almighty techno headbutt 'Non Stop', they returned two years later in early 2020 with equally fired-up 'Return Of The MASC' EP. Both EPs were celebrated and savoured at the levels you'd expect.

Two years later and the pair return to our speakers this time on Catz 'n Dogz Pets imprint and they're armed with two more unruly late night tear-ups. 'Morse Code' hits with that classic detuned synth sound that smacks of a million Fantazias and is driven by a quirky, memorable spoken word sample. 'Toto' plays the consummate foil with a ridiculously bulbous and addictive bass riff that shines and slaps with the sound and energy of both artists.

Collabs of this weight and span are often misguided and don't quite hit the spot. But Mark Archer and Shadow Child have the perfect fusion that celebrates the last 30+ years of this culture and have enough diesel in the tank for the next 30, too. Time to crack some codes!

Morse Code EP

TOTO

I would say "Circus EP" is a bit groovier than previously. I've been working a lot more with bass. Before, my music was more minimal with a shuffle techno vibe but for this release I didn't do any shuffle. I guess you could call this my new sound. It's in between tech house and techno. The bass is more housey anyway, but the energy is still techno.

The true techno dream team of Dubfire & Oliver Huntemann revisit their Elements project from a few years ago with a new series of killer remixes. Terra - originally released in 2011, did all sorts of damage to dance-floors across the globe. Now, it’s all set to do it again thanks to this Joseph Capriati Remix. The Italian techno headliner has grown into a major force on the scene in recent years, and here delivers a signature slice of muscular, driving techno - taut, dramatic and devastating. Paired with a remix of the now seminal Feugo Julien Jeweil’s remix also hits the spot - the track received a 2016 overhaul with some of Jeweil’s signature flair. The Frenchman has been a constant figure on the top of various charts and line ups for some time, and its easy to see why - Fuego is stripped back machine funk primed for big systems and even bigger moments.

The Hot Creations main-players will all still be there for the ride however, with wAFF, Richy Ahmed and golden boy Patrick Topping making several appearances. Geordie superstar Topping has experienced heaps of success over the last few years and that's not showing any signs of slowing down either.

With dancefloor-cruisers in his bag like 'Boxed Off', 'Baddie' and 'Voicemail' with the inimitable Green Velvet, Patrick can do no wrong and his latest track 'Taking Libz' has been doing the rounds for a few months now.

Elevate bid a warm welcome back to Rob Hes with this great EP and welcome Frankyeffe with a fantastic remix

Rob Hes - Inside PREVIEW

Returning to Truesoul for the first time since dropping his Body Shake EP in March 2016, its a pleasure to welcome Tiger Stripes back to the label. His latest two-tracker is to be ear-marked as essential listening, with the title track, Body Trip one to make your body move, as youd expect. Jam-packed full of energy, the infectious vocal when paired with the sublime percussion, work in perfect harmony. The B-Side, Machines, is a groovy yet futuristic sounding cut and compliments the A-Side to a tee.

I love their unique style, rolling grooves, warm melodies and they are always funky. Another 4 track ep with tracks for every occasion! (Monika Kruse)

Drunken Kong - How Far Do We Go

The seventh volume of Drumcode’s annual A-Sides compilation hits with no less than 10 debuts for the label, with Charlotte de Witte, ANNA, B.Traits and Scuba’s SCB project, among the collection of topline artists to release their maiden productions on the imprint. 

Over two decades into its lifespan, Drumcode keeps evolving and excelling, pushing techno forward while remaining wholly respectful of its roots. This reputation for progression was further fueled this summer with its inaugural festival at the NDSM Docklands in Amsterdam, featuring a long list of heavyweights including Nicole Moudaber, Joseph Capriati, Amelie Lens and Ida Engberg, among others. 

As ever, the A-Sides compilation provides a timely opportunity to showcase the full range of its sonic repertoire, with Adam Beyer scrupulously selecting 22 unreleased tracks that have taken prime position in his sets over recent months. 

Outstanding all-round talent ANNA kicks off the compilation with ‘Portable Paradise’, a pulsating cut that sets the tone for the top-shelf club cuts to follow. Also entering the debut field with their first ever Drumcode dalliances are B.Traits and Charlotte de Witte. The esteemed Canadian selector offers up ‘I Feel The Music’, a euphonic track that’s been sought after since spring, and the Belgian ballista unlocks a thick-edged club bomb in ‘Remember.’

Leaders of Drumcode’s new brigade, exciting Brazilian Wehbba and British techno alchemist Boxia set out to impress. Wehbba’s straight-talking ‘Just’ hits with an immediate sense of urgency before neck-snap claps strike with force, and Boxia’s ‘Final Call’ elicits physical engagement with mellifluous vocals and soaring pads. 

Continuously looking to bolster the profiles of emerging talent, Berlin-based producers Weska and Juliet Fox are brought into the fold with equally engaging razor-sharp tracks that are primed to do lasting damage. 

Other notable highlights include an exhilarating workout from Reset Robot - the most released artist on Beyer’s imprint Truesoul – as he lands on Drumcode for the first time. And tastemaker’s favourite Jel Ford makes a welcome return as he ushers in techno rhythms with bustling breaks in ‘Nightshade.’

Elsewhere, support from label mainstays comes in from Bart Skils, who offers a work of consummate skill in ‘West Of The Moon.’ Alan Fitzpatrick, who’s been heavily featured across the A-Side series, joins forces with Scuba as he operates as his uncompromising alias SCB. The result is a propulsive floor-gripper that testifies to their masterful deftness as co-producers. Formidable duos Dense & Pika and Pig&Dan also contribute with powerful compositions.

Against a Dark Background – the full-length studio album from long-standing British
techno duo, Spektre – will be released in early 2020 on Pleasurekraft’s esteemed
Kraftek imprint.

Following their critically-acclaimed debut album Casting Shadows Without Light in
2010 and their sophomore outing Cyclic Operations in 2013, Against a Dark
Background will be the third studio long-player from partners Paul Maddox and Rich
Wakley, who have been producing together under the Spektre moniker since 2006.

Currently in the top five-selling techno artists worldwide and with over 500,000
streams per month on Spotify, Spektre have taken the electronic music world by
storm over the past few years, with their forward-thinking productions and high-
intensity live performances resonating with legions of loyal techno fans across all
corners of the globe.

Now key ambassadors for British dance music on a global level, Spektre’s chart-
topping productions have received high praise from the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl
Cox, Pleasurekraft and Alan Fitzpatrick and the duo are often hailed as one of the
most exciting acts to emerge onto the UK techno scene over the past decade.

Talking about the forthcoming album, Spektre commented:
It had been over 5 years since the release of "Cyclic Operations" when we first started 
work on the new album in earnest, so we wanted it to be a representation of how our
music has evolved in that intervening period. The writing process itself was a lot
more reductive than the previous two albums. We holed ourselves up for a few
months and hammered out loads and loads of ideas, then filtered and refined the
pool through playing them out and getting feedback from a few trusted pairs of ears,
until "Against a Dark Background" began to crystallize into its final form.

Spektre – Against a Dark Background will be released in early 2020 on Kraftek.
