Adam Beyer is back on Drumcode with an impressive array of tracks that will get the senses tingling and shows us what Drumcode is all about. These 4 tracks are deep and almost melancholic in their approach to techno, using effects to really help enforce an ambience only Beyer can achieve within his productions. The under lying throbbing of the drums drives this EP into the forefront of the heads down Drumcode sound and have been heard in many of Beyer’s phenomenal sets throughout the year.

GLOWING HARMONY

First issued on ROOM's Pangea compilation - a project designed to showcase Argentina's techno community - John Barsik's 'Tropics' remains a standout track. Working at a steady 130 BPM, Barsik builds the piece from a dry kick and understated hi-hats, then threads in rounded bass pulses and humid, bell-like synth tones. The arrangement grows patiently, adding percussive flickers and subtle reverb swells that hint at open-air nights as much as basement clubs.

The production is lean but assured: low frequencies stay firm while midrange textures breathe, giving the track both punch and space. There's no gimmickry; instead, Barsik relies on pacing and clarity to keep listeners engaged, dropping elements out for a short breakdown before the full rhythm locks back in. 'Tropics' isn't designed to shock but to sustain, offering DJs and home listeners alike a slice of Argentine techno that values craft, atmosphere, and a quietly propulsive groove.

Tropics

It’s almost as if Techno is in Mark Reeve’s DNA. With the electronic pulses flowing through through his veins as the draw of the Techno Fatherland led Mark to settle in Germany, where he has since established his reputation on labels such as Cocoon, Drumcode, Bedrock, Soma and Trapez. A list that reads like the upper echelons of electronic music.

The natural extension of this journey was to start a label, called SubVision. SubVision has been quietly growing and maturing in approach, to reach this point - the launch of 'SubVision Various'. A forward thinking selection of all new cutting edge music where the SubVision roster grows to break new artists alongside established names at the top of their game. This diverse LP gives listeners and DJs a wide scope of options, as well as presenting an exciting snapshot of how the SubVision musical philosophy intends to grow. 

'SubVision Various' leads off with the label head Mark Reeve’s pulsating warehouse stormer 'Let Go’ where sporadic retro rave chord stabs lead way to a sustained focused dance floor bombardment

Now in its second decade, with a steady stream of the most forward thinking and cutting edge techno productions, Drumcode has one of the biggest selections of releases from industry heavy hitters, whilst not forgetting its future by bringing the newest talented producers into the limelight, where Layton Giordani is now a name firmly within that line up.

The New York born, but now EU based producer first had recognition back in 2014, and his debut release came via Drumcode with his track “Rivington” on the A-Sides Vol5 compilation in 2016.

Full force into 2017, Drumcode has announced the release of Layton’s debut album with “Where It Begins” this February. Consisting of 12 original tracks, the album packs a punch when it comes to no-nonsense techno. Successfully weaving relentless drums and catchy vocal hooks into a selection of thick, brooding, atmospheric tracks.

Teasing us with a sample, Drumcode has released “Good Violence” – thumping from the get-go in true Drumcode fashion, this track is a pure dance floor destroyer. Laced in some heavy low end power, slapping percussion and a hypnotic synth pad to build up that late night tension just right.

Mark Reeve makes his welcome return to the Drumcode fold with a powerful three-tracker ‘Far Away’.

In recent years Mark Reeve has become a pivotal member of the Drumcode crew. His 2015 EP ‘Run Back’ was a standout, before he backed it up strongly with ‘Nine of You’, his collaboration with Adam Beyer that featured on A-Sides Vol.5, ensuring his place in the hearts of DC fans. As further evidence of his importance to the collective, Beyer has selected him to suit up for the inaugural Drumcode Festival happening this August in association with Awakenings. 

Harking back to formative times in the ‘90s when he’d frequent Sven Väth’s legendary Omen in Frankfurt, the title track to Reeve’s ‘Far Away’ is a timeless beauty, driven by a celestial melody line and emotive bass notes that lobs it into the kind of laser-kissed territory that would make even the most jaded of raves throw their arms skyward. ‘Fragile’ follows, a classy bass-driven cut that makes its mark with deep subterranean stabs and punchy kicks. Rounding out the EP is ‘Redemption’ a tougher, heads-down techno workout imbued with plenty of energy thanks to a crafty bass melody that runs throughout.

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

Intec's new release is from UMEK who is a Slovenian artist accredited with kick-starting the techno scene in his home country, before earning critical acclaim on a global scale when he first started his career in the 90s.

Having released on labels ranging from CLR and Novamute right through to Toolroom, in recent years UMEK's own imprint "1605" has also become a main outlet for his music.

People with a good knowledge of technos history will be more than aware of the impact of UMEKs classics tracks, such as his anthemic Gatex that came out only a few years before his first Intec release in 2005.

Having also collaborated with many influential figures such as Chris Liebing and Joey Beltram, this new solo EP is UMEKs third release on Intec.

Titled Percussionix the EP opens with (Mix 1) which centres around a thick set bassline cut with filter sweeps and full of menacing intent. Leading the track is a combination of tribal percussion loops, which provide the track's main driving force.

Track two is UMEKs alternative mix of Percussionix which titled (Mix 2) has a more refined sound with the raw edges of the percussion being rounded off to smooth the sound, and its bassline is left unfiltered so it becomes more of a gradual sweep that grows with building tension.

Back when we were just getting going with things here at LAMP, I put together a Track of the Day review for Kaiserdisco's Jet Stream. That was #002 off of their label KD Raw, and was released in early 2015. Today I am happy to share release #026 produced by the duo which consists of two tracks "Form" & "Figure". That Technicolor palm that graces all of their album covers is like a beacon to me that is saying, "hold on stop what you are doing and listen to the hand cause I got some techno for you!" Our premiere for you today Figure is the latest techno gem from these two and it releases tomorrow. 

Kaiserdisco have been and continue to be a powerful force and wonderful contributors to the world of house and techno for over a decade now. Sharing their love for music across the continents. Being the techno geek that I am Figure was a no brainer when it was presented to us. The opening kick grabbed right away. I love how big and warm it feels. It is like someone wrapping me in a blanket of bass. Continuing down the road we get a lot of really interesting percussive elements, Shakers and rides combined with really hollowed out bass line that drive and give the song a gritty warehouse vibe. A little ways further down the road a plucky rave synth comes in that meanders and modulates throughout the track reminding me of some of that old industrial techno from the late 90's. This track pumps hard and I can just imagine the crowd going absolutely nuts when this track blasts through the speakers. Make sure you grab this release tomorrow when it releases and to follow KD Raw and Kaiserdisco to keep up to date on all of their past, current, and future releases.
