Van Kost and Ekko join forces for the second release on LAPS Recordings: „Call of the Void EP“ takes us on a journey into a black hole and brings together the best of what the two very different producers have to offer. The EP clearly has its roots in the Melodic Techno realm, but is strongly influenced by a large variety of electronic subgenres. Although the EP contains only 4 tracks, the duo managed to create a storyline that resembles that of a concept album while at the same time pushing the boundaries of what could be categorized under the term "Melodic Techno" with their exceptionally creative sound-design. „Singularity“, with its long, atmospheric intro, paints a first picture of the setting where the whole EP is going to take place. With its UK-Techno and Breakbeat influenced groove, it clearly stands out from the following tracks and takes the listener into a very young, chaotic universe where time and space still dont exist. With „Call of the Void“ the duo delivers us a dark, energetic Melodic Techno banger, that fits perfectly into the meta. The warm, wide synths and emotional melodies create an atmosphere that touches the hearts of everyone who has a crave for goosebumps. However, the track stays highly danceable and energetic until the end. The intense vibe created by the synths symbolizes the gravitation of a black hole, that no one can withstand. „Traveller“ is way more progressive than any other track on the EP and lets the listener drift through the strange world behind the event horizon. The focus clearly lays on the forceful bassline, that plays in a polymetric groove, and the detuned pads and arps enhance the strange vibe even more. „Event Horizon" maybe the most difficult of the four tracks to squeeze into one category. The trance-influenced bassline creates a bouncy, danceable vibe, the brass section and pads on the other hand are more melancholic and mellow, the shuffled hats, the 303s and the diffuse drones make it impossible to chose one emotion for the track that seems to be perfect at being everything at once.

Sam Paganini - Rave

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.

Ekko - The Arrival [Loading Systems]

Herbrido, Ekko and BOBAs next release on Loading Systems Records in 2025 is a banger waiting for you. After making waves with his number-one album of 2023, Herbrido revisits the powerful opening track "2611", enlisting Ekko and BOBA to deliver two high-impact remixes alongside his own rework. Each interpretation takes the originals atmospheric intensity and transforms it into a cutting-edge fusion of acid-infused peak-time and hard techno.


Herbrido - 2611 (Ekko Remix)

Hot on the heels of the A-Sides Volume 5 compilation, Enrico Sangiuliano makes his return to Drumcode with his highly anticipated EP ‘Moon Rocks’. The heavy hitting four track EP shines a light on Sangiuliano’s tight, thundering production skills. The hoover heavy lead track ‘Moon Rocks’ is packed with booming percussion, intricate synths and brooding crescendos. The EP encapsulates Sangiuliano’s wide spectrum of sounds ranging from the fat bass line of ‘Moon Rocks’ to the more delicate harmonies shown within the ‘Dutch Kiss’ mixes whilst ‘Ghettoblaster’ sits somewhere in between.
