Alan Fitzpatrick - Skeksis (Original Mix)

Alan Fitzpatrick is back with a three-track EP that encapsulates what Alan’s Drumcode sound is all about. Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2014.

As has become traditional over recent years, around this time I like to give away a track as a token of my appreciation for those who have supported me so here it is, my 'These Are The Times' rework of Subspace - Thirteen. Enjoy! :)

Sub Space - Thirteen (Alan Fitzpatrick These Are The Times Rework)

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.

This typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with ‘U Said U’. A massively hyped tracks that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer’s Drumcode Radio in January. However, ’Love Siren’ will battle it out for the most attention from punters, packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops this is one for the big open air stages. ‘Rumours’ wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

Analytic comes back with a new figure in the family, label boss Markantonio brought directly from Spain Maae. The Spanish producer is born and raised in the Barcelona techno scene, he began his Dj Career in 2000 until 2010 when he started his own label Metodiq. Today he continues his collaborations and productions on different labels like MB Elektronics, Rhythm Converted, Driving Forces, !Organism and many more. Now is the time for Analytictrail and Maae took to Neapolitan label a fresh EP called Close To Ground that includes four original tracks.

Close to the ground is the namesake track of the EP and is a classic underground straight Techno track made by old school chords, heavy bassline and distorted nasty kick. 

Klon is a Techno spacey bouncing track, made by a plastic groove surrounded by synth bells and Detroit styles chords. 

Private Mod is the right mix of classic Techno track with rounding deep bass and strong kick fused with house vocal melodies from 90s.

Resolution has a pumped kick and dark bass, the listener can be dropped in a timeless journey driven by the Chicagos Techno school chords.

For sure another top quality work released by one of the most representative labels in the music industry and produced by a very good musician that deserves respect of all Techno lovers out there.

Close To The Ground (Original Mix)

Mister Woo is a composite techno-hybrid supergroup that has been forged against a harsh maritime backdrop of Portsmouth, UK. Following Aristotle’s philosophy “the sum is greater than its parts” the core members of Reset Robot, Jon Gurd and Tom Powell cast aside their professional careers to concentrate on the emotive outlet and gnarled production machine that is Mister Woo.

As a complex blend of established producers, sound engineers and multi-instrumentalists, the trio, bound by location, deliver a series of audio-visual works based on ground breaking production, perfectionism and exceptional electronic music.

Loveland returns for the second release on their newly revamped record label Loveland Recordings and Ian O’Donovan does the honours. The Irish producer was catapulted to Loveland’s attention when Adam Beyer closed the 2014 Loveland Festival with ‘Vortex’. Since then Loveland’s mailbox and Facebook have been bursting with requests for ‘that amazing track from Adam’s set’. Much to Loveland’s delight Ian was willing to release the highly anticipated anthem on their record label and the Vortex EP was born.

First DJ feedback

- Adam Beyer: "This is an amazing ep from Ian!" 

- Karotte: "This is a bomb ep from Ian. All 4 tracks are great!!!" 

- Secret Cinema: "Very nice and warm sound here! Hard to pick a favorite but Shimmer might be the one!!"

<p>Blue City Dub and Vinz Exe team up for this furious package and the title track is up first with mangled vocals reiterating the actual title and a sparse arrangement depending heavily on the juicy sub bass. The Responder remix introduces the addition of tense atmospherics which create a futuristic vibe that is reinforced by the rumbling low-end. On the synth-led &#8220;Forest Shades&#8221;, mighty stabs and an evolving, eerie riff take center stage before Responder takes over once again to completely flip things around with a dubbed-out approach, complete with distressed electronics and shadowy effects.</p>

Italy’s fastest rising name in house and techno returns to the respected Drumcode imprint with this blistering new 4-track EP, ‘Climax’. Featuring a distinctive vocal sample crescending over a typically thumping bassline, opening lead track ‘Climax’ grows gradually with the introduction of a single synth note and skipping hi-hats. Two beatless breakdowns increase the pressure whilst a new synth melody is introduced in the second, making for a powerful ending as all the elements join together.

‘Boost’ starts out deep and dark, with a high-pitched call echoing over a determined beat. The track changes course mid-way through with the introduction of a bassy, low-pitched synth melody, helping ‘Boost’ evolve into a catchier, more playful track.

‘Spectre’, a no-nonsense closing piece featuring a jittering synth note, rattling hi-hats and a trademark tension-filled breakdown.

‘Over The Clouds’, as its name would suggest, is the gentlest of the four tracks. Filled with dusty textures over a rumbling bassline, twinkling synths move in waves before lower-pitched chords join, adding a real sense of depth to this production.

Overall, ‘Climax’ is an outstanding example of Faraone’s ear for detail as a producer: his experience as both a resident and touring DJ clearly feeds into his skill for manipulating tension in his productions like he does on the dancefloors. Having recently warmed up for Adam Beyer at Tenax, Marco Faraone’s relationship with the iconic label continues to grow.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave label has been busy laying down foundations for the past twelve months. The run-away commercial success of their debut single “We Do What We Want” was just the start, and have since been setting the standards.

The label boss himself makes his welcome return to the label this October, with Magnetic Dog. The original comes laced with slicing hats, crispy yet superbly deep thundering kicks and a cheeky dose of acid thrown in for good measure.

Alan wrote the original back in 2016 and waited for that special remix to finalise the package. Always a supporter of Marcus Intalex and his productions, under his Trevino moniker he delivered a masterfully deep rework, taking down the tempo and achieving a euphoric cut of the original.

The new Intec release is from Frank Mitchell aka Frankie Bones who is an American based DJ and producer whose played a large role in New Yorks Techno scene. Having been involved in music since the mid 80s, Frankie Bones was one of the first DJs from New Yorks Brooklyn region to gain global success. By the late 80s Frankie Bones was getting regular European bookings following the success of his Bonesbreaks EP series, which released on Underworld Records received global recognition and critical acclaim. During his three decade spanning career Frankie Bones has even released an EP on the iconic Trax Records, which released many of the early records that defined the House and Techno genre. One of his most popular releases was his 1989 release titled Call It Techno which originally came out on Breaking Bones Records, and a firm Carl Cox favourite has now been remastered and rereleased for this special Intec package, which also features one of his new and previously unreleased tracks. Also featuring on the release are two new remix versions provided by Carlo Lio and Raito who each put their individual stamp on things. Carlo Lio is an artist who in between global DJ bookings, has released music on labels including Octopus, SCI+TEC, Turbo, Mood, and Saved Records. French artist Raito is fast rising through the ranks following regular releases Boysnoize Records, along with having also featured on Mako, Origami Sound, Main Course and BNR TRAX. "Call It Techno" has a timeless bass line taken straight from the glory days of Acid House. Filled with retro charm and warehouse party vibes, the vocal tells the story of Technos history, and the pads plus melody are rich in analogue joy. Carlo Lio's remix of "Call It Techno" uses choice snippets of the originals vocal to refine the story it into a powerful chant. This remix is fast and furious with added tension and suspense. Carlo adds his own toughened backing track thats filled with dark atmosphere plus an explosive drop after the main break. Raito's remix of has a bumping groove and stomping kick drum. Thick and chunky, it takes no prisoners with its hard hitting percussion and stabbing sounds. Jacking in every sense of the word, it's summed up nicely by the vocal lyrics "hits you in the face like a hammer! Second of the two original track is "Light It Up" which takes its title from the lyrics of the vocal sample. With spin backs and filter sweeps, the tracks forward momentum is accentuated by a series of bass drops. Lead by the building intensity of a bubbling acid line, the tracks rolling groove is a sure fire party starter. The fifth and final track is a dub mix of Light it up, which with the main vocal removed, focuses on the music only.
