Adam Beyer’s new EP titled ‘Teach Me’ is an accomplished piece of work that highlights Beyer's year thus far. 'Teach Me' starts with some eerie chords before the distinctive vocal kick in and the track drops into a rumbling techno track. ‘Darlek’ uses rhythmic beeps and huge synth stab to create a funky rhythm before the atmospheric pads create a beautiful setting for this incredible techno track. ‘Stop Talking’ is a deeper offering from Beyer using weird and unusual noises to create and interesting piece of work that is helped along by the throbbing bass underlying in the track. ‘Spaceman’ uses a rhythmic vocal, percussion and sub bass to turn this track into a funky techno piece.

We are happy to welcome Maceo Plex to Drumcode with the fourth instalment of his Conjure series, ‘Conjure Infinity’. Featuring two tracks ‘Conjure Dreams’ and ‘Conjure Floyd’, both are peak time monsters that introduce two very different elements. ‘Conjure Dreams’ utilises a groovy, melodic bass that is reinforced using tight thumping drums to shatter any dance floor into the universe. ‘Conjure Floyd’ builds into a more ‘heads down’ techno vibe with a very interesting breakdown. Two sure fire tracks to ignite the floor.

Turbo has been stockpiling heavy duty Techno weaponry with their Warehouse Series 12”s. If you’ve missed out, the best have now been compiled along with some huge exclusive tracks.

Clouds do the heavy lifting turning in four mental tunes, one taken from their last album but three all-new exclusive bombs that could’ve easily been their own 12”, that’s how not bullshit-comp-quality they are.

TWR72 also go double with ‘Download’ from their last EP as well as ‘Koek,’ a chugging groove that has the kind of choo-choo you expect from someone legendarily BAD like Robert Hood or Jeff Mills. Kudos to these two very white Dutchmen for succeeding in the African-American-ness of their drum machine swing here. 

Another exclusive is from The Junkies with the killer ‘Sandy*,’ a guaranteed club record with hefty, low-end, for instant hip-opening impact.

The rest you might have heard if you checked out every Warehouse Series 12, but these are the very best of the best, featuring Sei A, GoldFFinch, Gingy & Bordello, the mysterious General Oscillator, and JoeFarr, who also turns in a bruising remix of Tiga vs Audion’s ‘Let’s Go Dancing’ just to make this all seem like more of an era-defining moment. 

*named after their yoga instructor, Sandy. 

Release date: December 15, 2014

Clouds - Shared Heritage

Mr McKay is back on Drumcode with an EP that is very close to home, titled ‘Glasgow Safari’. Harvey has blended his synonymous synth stabs and vocal hooks together and has created another outstanding EP. The drums are fat and chunky as always and allow Harvey’s ideas to flow effortlessly over a solid foundation. The smooth use of dynamic throughout Harvey’s tracks also create impressive drops to add to another exceptional EP from Harvey.

ENVOY | DARK MANOEUVRES (Slam Remix)
[Soma 360D]

 
1.	Envoy – Dark Manoeuvres (Slam Remix)
2.	Envoy – Dark Manoeuvres (Original Mix)


Slam get to grips with Envoy’s 1996 classic, ‘Dark Manoeuvres’ in this latest EP release. Soma have been bringing some of Envoy’s classic releases up to date with Slam following Ricardo Villalobos in reinterpreting the earlier work, all of which leads to May’s release on Soma of new material by Envoy. 

Dark Manoeuvres is a track which lives up to its name, the original expressing pumping, dark and crunchy sounds interspersed with string arrangements and overdubs which move the track in various different directions. The 1996 original is a great example of some production techniques of the time and is of interest in identifying the direction of the Techno sound in that era, as well as being eminently listenable. 

Slam were very much involved in the progression of Techno at the same time as Envoy was creating tracks such as Dark Manoeuvres and as such they have a real handle on how things have evolved, enabling them to bring a classic release such as this bang up to date. 

The distinctive hook, attention-grabbing melody and strings which are distinctive elements of the original are all incorporated in a full and fresh dynamic which sees some of these elements regrouped in individual sections such as the strings or moulded with deeper, darker resonance into a new expression. The hi-hat and kick drum interplay still drives the rhythm keeping that element as a prominent part of the track, setting a strong foundation that was integral to the original. Some of the more idiosyncratic elements of the original such as the aquatic overdubs, highlighting production, are reconstructed with use of modern technology to provide waves of highly imposing, building sound at crucial points in the track.

This is a great remix by Slam elevating the original track and elements within it to provide a new and totally engaging release which still expresses all the great qualities of the original. This will be a firm favourite with old and new fans of both Envoy and Slam.
