A resident of the iconic Stereo club in Montreal, Atroxx arrives with his first full EP on Kraftek. The aptly titled opening track "Anvil" is just a brutal masterpiece of heaviness. With a few simple respites thrown in, the track is relentless in its visceral energy. For the title track, Marck D from Medellin joins Atroxx for a moody and at times melodic affair that encapsulates the power & beauty of the cosmic techno sound we love. Closing out the EP, the bass heavy and brooding "4Me", with vocals from Atroxx himself. We are very proud to present Atroxx & Marck D's "Adrift EP".

Support from Adam Beyer / Nicole Moudaber / Alan Fitzpatrick / Monika Kruse & more.

Atroxx - 4Me

The hotly tipped UK artist makes his debut for Drumcode’s vinyl only off-shoot.

Focused on showcasing cutting-edge underground techno, Adam Beyer’s always got an eye on the future when curating Drumcode Ltd. With impressive releases on Tiga’s Twin Turbo and Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains imprint, 24-year-old Billy Turner piqued his interest with his accomplished productions that belied his tender age. 

Taking inspiration from the likes of Marcel Dettmann, Truncate and Planetary Assault Systems, Turner’s four-track debut ‘Don’t Talk To Me About Style’ was birthed in his home studio throughout 2017. The industrious Brit delivers a powerful peak-time EP of nocturnal techno that moves between different moods. The title track pops with a thick grinding bassline and trippy synth effects, before ‘Escape’ envelopes you into a subterranean world. ‘Diodes’ follows, a fantastic slice of electrifying techno that bucks like a rodeo bull. The EP concludes with the blazing ‘Tunnel’, that makes its mark with deft drum arrangements and a piercing call-to-arms siren.

Billy Turner - Don't Talk To Me About Style - Drumcode Limited - DCLTD022

A powerful concoction of reverb-heavy basslines and glitchy effects, that’s been thoroughly road tested by both Beyer and Wehbba.

EARLIEST MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
I have very vivid memories of the road trips my family used to have when I was a little kid, either going to the beach or to the countryside, or even abroad, on which my father was always blasting stuff like The Beatles, Iron Butterfly, or Phil Collins, he used to bang his fingers on the dashboard of the car doing the infamous drum fill on “In The Air Tonight”. His passion for music really struck me, this intensity of listening to amazing music loud and finger drumming on the wheel and dashboard was so contagious, it simply shaped my whole life. Crazy…it’s the simple things...


THE IDEAL SETTING TO LISTEN TO THIS?
Find a way to be completely within yourself, completely present, completely in the moment, no past memories, no future projections, just you, here and now. Mind Awake, body too. Find speakers with lots of bass. Rinse, repeat.

ARTBAT & DJ Hell Ft. C.A.R. - Outline (ARTBAT - Beatport Artist Of The Week Mix 090)

Slovenian DJ and producer Umek has released Vibrancy, the second EP in as many months on his own 1605 label, out 31st May.

The weighty, three-track release comes off the back of April’s 19119, and sees the veteran artist combine a tougher techno sound with more emotive, melodic elements. The EP’s title track is the clearest example of this, with a pounding kick-drum making way for a groove-laden breakdown halfway through. ‘Acid Rain’ is a heavier proposition, a full acid workout that harks back to Umek’s rave-era beginnings. Loosening off somewhat, closing track ‘Constellations’ is underpinned by a steady, measured groove.
   
"Vibrancy" is evidence of a versatile artist capable of pairing emotional melodies with the heaviest of techno beats, and is out 31st May via 1605.

Eli continues to establish himself as one of the UK’s most prolific producers and it’s easy to see why. With releases like his hit collaboration with Solardo ‘XTC’ currently hitting the dizzy heights of daytime Radio 1, and anthems like ‘Brazil’ (Repopulate Mars), ‘Inside My Head’ (Black Book) and ‘BS48’ (Big Beat) causing damage on the international club circuit, his talents have garnered key support from every corner of the dance music spectrum.

This release marks yet another pivotal moment in Eli Brown’s career as he steps into the darker / underground world of Alan Fitzpatrick. Add to this the widespread support from the likes of Carl Cox, Green Velvet, Fisher, Claude VonStroke, Solardo, Black Madonna, Denis Sulta, Calvin Harris, Annie Mac & more and it’s easy to see why everyone is talking about “Eli Brown.” 

The EP kicks off with title track ‘Come Together’. A concoction of solid 909 kicks and snappy percussion which come alive once the rolling bass fires off. Keyed melodics at the break take the track in a completely unexpected direction, bringing the listener to their knees.

Deeper but equally upbeat, ‘Thinking About You’ revels in a warm ‘90s glow with powerful rave stabs that drive the track forward. Pads and extra FX complete a clever ode to the UK Hardcore scene.

‘92 Thing’ opens into a deeply vibey groove-a-thon with “ecstasy” vocal shots for full effect! Tough drums and scattergun percussion keep things grounded into 2019, as the classic Juno pads send the old school crew into raptures.

Outside of the studio, Eli Brown embraces a busy tour schedule with a stacked summer of shows in Ibiza alongside performances for Bodyworks, ANTS, ABODE and Toolroom. The ‘Come Together’ EP falls around an eleven-date North American Tour, and marking just one of the countless trips across the pond for Eli Brown this year, it’s no wonder he’s earned a reputation as one of the hardest DJ’s in the scene.

Drumcode starts 2020 with a sterling EP from genre hero Thomas Schumacher, his first on the label after a long association with Adam Beyer. No ifs or buts , if you’re a techno fan, Thomas Schumacher holds a place in your heart - his 1997 classic ‘When I Rock’ still gets rinsed today. Thomas has a vast body of stellar work on his influential former label Spielzeug Schallplatten, including a release from Adam Beyer, and he continues to deliver pin-sharp productions via his Electric Ballroom imprint, including a scorching remix of ‘The House of House’, the 1994 classic from Cherry Moon Trax. The rework was first played by Beyer at Time Warp and has been a 2019 highlight. 

He first contributed to Drumcode in 2018 with ‘The Unseen’, a stirring contribution to ‘A- Sides Vol.7’, setting up a maiden EP with ‘Crimson’. Beginning with the brilliant ‘Feist’, it’s a no-nonsense brain melter, as 303 arpeggios bloom and recede, creating a thrilling rhythmic intensity throughout. The title track ‘Crimson’ is crafted around two minutes of tension-building synths, before a beat finally appears and a rasping deep bassline commands the dancefloor. ‘Anker’ brings the rave with eagle -eye focus, unleashing a wall of fierce acid to round out the pack. 

“Adam and I have both been producing and playing techno since the early‘ 90s. I have deep respect for him as a person and artist. It’s an honour to have the opportunity to collaborate in this way.” – Thomas Schumacher.

Release date: 6 January 2020
