<p>&#8220;Escapism&#8221; consists of constant old-school overtones, interpreted via modern instrumentation and that&#8217;s the first thing that comes right at you when you hear the familiar piano chords over the quirky rhythm section. A living, breathing bassline mimics the melody while hovering pads and a commanding, spoken word vocal all blend together to complete the affair.<br />
 As expected, dusbpeeka&#8217;s remix opts for a more sparse approach with claps piercing the thick atmosphere created by the spacious effects. The low-frequency rumble serves as fuel for this chugger as persistent hi hats and manipulated elements from the original all fall into place.</p>

The satisfaction of achieving an objective is always great. When that target is having your music signed to one of your favourite labels, well, the sense of fulfillment must be immense. Barcelona based duo The Deals are currently basking in those feelings as they ready the release of their 'Maniac EP' on SCI+TEC. 

Badalona boys, Alex and Denis, first stepped into the studio together back in 2011. With a shared passion for the darker side of techno and a vast array of ideas already flowing, the pair set to work. Releases for the likes of Deeperfect and Toolroom have followed and The Deals have become key figures in Barcelona’s ever expanding and strong Techno scene. 

Whilst the title may conjure frenzied images the ‘Intro’ delivers a calculated and yet sinister and chilling opening. A vibe that is taken up by ‘Crazy (Tool)’ with its creeping groove and climbing synth. The bubbling and pacey throb of ‚Rumor’ closes the Ep, with is percolating drops and manic vox.

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.

Radio Slave’s momentous ‘Another Club’ receives two thumping remixes from SRVD and Charlotte de Witte.

‘Another Club’ was the 100th release on Rekids and dropped as the label celebrated a milestone ten years. It unquestionably became one of Techno’s biggest tracks ever made. Two years later, the landmark production receives outstanding remixes from two of the genre’s most salient artists: NovaMute producer Charlotte de Witte, who’s just collaborated with Chris Liebing on her newly launched KNTXT imprint, as well as the ever-impressive Patrick Mason and Radio Slave who team up again as SRVD.

Charlotte de Witte’s remix of ‘Another Club’ marches forward with pounding 909 style kicks, hooking acid hits, fleeting voice samples and haunting pads. SRVD’s remix then uses the vocals as stabs, adding tension with rave inspired synths, buzzing keys and splashing cymbals, while locking it all together with thundering drums and sub frequency rumbles.

“We just want to put out reliable and solid releases in a cool, understated way. If a hit comes along, we’ll go with it but we’re not going to push it – it just needs to happen naturally.”
