only the weak rob

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

The man himself is back and he's got something new waiting for you! Rack and Run EP, the latest addition to our catalogue, proves to be a peak time double-strike with remarkable sense for groove & detail. Mangrove is just pure Nick Curly looping power, hooking people from bar 1 and flawlessly blending in new elements throughout the mix. Rack and Run takes the listener on a energetic journey of hypnotic beeps and driving percussion, playing with endless build ups that are released in the perfect moment. One thing is for sure, we will be playing this 12'' until the rills wear out. . Big up to the 8bit Label-Head for another major release!

Veerus returns with Mind Body Soul, a genre-blending missile built for peak-time impact. A hypnotic bass arp drives the energy forward, while an explosive synth hook ignites the dancefloor. The breakdown takes a soulful turn with a house-inspired vocal, creating a moment of pure release before the drop slams back in.

It’s techno. It’s house. It’s trancy. It’s Mind Body Soul.

Berlin’s own Karla Blum joins forces with rising talent Andrea Botez for Checkmate, a powerful Techno weapon out now on Set About. Precision-built for late-night intensity, the track drives forward with relentless energy, razor-sharp percussion, and a dark, commanding groove that never lets up. It’s a statement of confidence, focus, and control — just like its title.

Karla Blum, shaped by the raw energy of Berlin’s iconic clubs like Ritter Butzke and festivals like Pavoia, brings a deep connection to the underground scene. Meanwhile, Andrea Botez, known globally for her mastery of the chessboard, now enters the techno arena with equal strategy and flair. Checkmate merges both worlds — calculated intensity with club-ready firepower.

"This the first time I am using my mother tongue in my productions, reviving the historic words of Lajos Kossuth, former Governor-President of Hungary, through the powerful voice of acclaimed Hungarian actor Lajos Csuha". The lyrics are based on Kossuth's speech recorded in Turin, originating from an 1890 phonograph, one of the world’s oldest audio recordings and the first known Hungarian language recording of a historical figure. "This track is a symbol of my deep love for my homeland and my respect for the ancestors who fought for Hungary’s freedom". "I’m proud to let the beauty of the Hungarian language shine through in this tune."
