TECHNO 01

Cobblestone Jazz - India In Me

A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration. 

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint. 

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014.

Featuring heavily on most of Drumcode’s shows due to his impeccable DJ’ing, Bart Skils is back with a new EP flexing his signature rolling sound and hooks. Caressing from one track to another, the use of pads in this EP and using uneasy sounds to build tension in each track. The swelling bass within each track manoeuvres the tracks into dark after hour’s territory with the help of the subtle percussion.

Pim van Horssen AKA SQL is back on Gem Records with 2 strong originals backed up by Steve Ward on remix duties. As expected the essential SQL ingredients funk and melody are there. But his development as an artist and a new analogue rawness are also evidently audible.  

Like many artists out there SQL is making a shift towards feeding more and more signals outside the confines of his computer into actual machines with knobs and levers on them.  Though this isn’t a guarantee for a better music, SQL has been pumping out some of his best work to date since the shift.

Dimebag Jams consist of the epic monster Dimebag which revolves around a throbbing bassline which increases in intensity as the filter is opened and layers added. It climaxes when a beautiful long pad is layered over the top for emotional content. Ruby is a beautiful pumping melodic track with loads of energy and funk. Interestingly Steve Ward skilfully blended the bassline from Dimebag with the melody from Ruby into one powerful track named after the EP.

Schattenmönch - Boris Brejcha (Original Mix) PREVIEW

What's in a name? Well, when you decide to call yourself Acid Bitchez, quite a lot. Harking back to a simpler time, when Chicago ruled the roost, the freshly formed duo of Juha Johnny (who eagle eared readers may remember as as one of the black-tie wearing 303-knob twiddlers in Jori Hulkkonen's Acid Symphony Orchestra) and "lyrical miracle" Jessika have made the most auspicious of debuts, landing on Tiga's Turbo imprint to take us on an acid trip of epic proportions.

Titled 'Thinking About Acid' (we're starting to notice a theme here...) their debut record has seen the label draft in fellow acid enthusiasts - the music not the drug - on remix duties with Jori Hulkkonen, General Ludd, Zia and Joeski all brought in to reshape the cut in their own image. Our pick of the bunch? Well that'd have to be Finnish super-producer Jori Hulkkonen's 303 drenched rework which we have the pleasure of unveiling today.

Matt Sassari's new release on Deeperfect is a powerful demonstration of creative flexibility. "Within To Me" is a two tracker EP that perfectly encapsulates two of Sassari's and Deeperfect's most dominant features: from the one hand colorful minimalism, featured in "Shipibo", and on the other hand high energy, vocal enhanced peak time power surge featured in "Within To Me". Like in most of Matt Sassari's productions, also in this one he tells us stories through music. Every track has a plot, and every part of it is different than the other, developing, advancing, all the way to the sweet ending.

Metodi Hristov - My Black Is Not Your Black (Original Mix)[Set About] PREVIEW

Legendary Italian techno label Unrilis, founded by top producer Rino Cerrone and A&R’ed by Luigi Madonna & Roberto Capuano, turns 10 in 2016, and this next EP is the first of many special anniversary releases planned by the label. It comes from acclaimed talent Enrico Sangiuliano and features a stunning remix by Mark Reeve.

Enrico Sangiuliano came up through illegal raves and is now a top DJ who plays all over the world and has his music played by the likes of Adam Beyer and Sven Vath. He has had the longest ever running techno number one on Beatport (his remix of ‘Can You Hear Me’ for DJ Boris on Alleanza) and is one of the best selling artists on the site at any one time. His music comes on Cocoon and Drumcode amongst others, and is powerful, direct stuff for the dance floor.

Written entirely in Italy, “X-Pollination (or cross-pollination) is fundamentally the key factor of growth, consciousness and life,” says the artist. “It’s the way I connect with people, share my passion, fly from one place to another and put many influences and elements into my music.”

The title track is eight minutes of slow burning but hypnotic techno funk with rolling rubber drums and nervy pads. Frazzled synths add post apocalyptic vibes to this main room anthem and many well crafted peaks and troughs along the way help make it even more standout. It is a real techno classic in the making.

Mark Reeve is the UK star who remixes. He has a long history with techno that goes back to the rave scene. Since then his education has taken in trips to techno mecca The Omen, has resulted in music on Cocoon and collabs with Pig & Dan. He has also released on Drumcode and has a big rolling sound that fills the world’s finest clubs and warehouses with his unique grooves. His take on the original is more energetic, with searing synths, cantering kicks and a dark energy that makes you pump your fist and stomp the floor. It is full of drama and is perfect balanced from start to finish.

This is another fine release in a landmark year for one of techno’s most consistent performers.

Tracklist:

1) X – Pollination
2) X – Pollination (Mark Reeve Remix)

Recondite
Phalanx
HFT046
Single / 12“, Digital

Recondite returns to Hotflush with two unique techno narratives forged in his inimitable style. Since 2014’s smash, ‘Caldera’, the prolific producer has released two studio albums, as well as a string of notable EPs for the likes of Innervisions, Dystopian and Life & Death.

At once subtle and grand, ‘Phalanx / Warg’ sees Recondite exploring the full range of his distinctive voice. Deep, sinewy techno set with a genuine sense of intrigue, both cuts flood the dance floor with an unsettling warmth.
