Harvey McKay starts his next single using a killer vocal hook and heavy-duty synth stabs to full effect, conjuring up more of Harvey’s unique style with ‘Silk Road’. The second track ‘Slip’ uses ghostly pads that float over the top of a crisp, chuggy kick drum combining two different qualities before welcoming the percussive synth blips into the mix. The third and final track ‘Start Running’ is chuggy and uses a mesmerising bass loop to draw a dancefloor in. The vocal stabs sit nicely on top before the lead vocal gives the track character and definition.

Slam bring light to their Paragraph imprint with the floor-shattering 'Cadence' release. 

'Cadence' is as tough and as noisy as you'll find Slam today. Sitting on the outskirts of Techno, the Glaswegian pair push the envelope of their style and production, utilising a grit they have worked on for over twenty years.

The deeper of the two tracks ,'Remain', still packs a punch. While preserving the rumbling low-end that binds 'Cadence' together, 'Remain' bears a fathomless form that allows that dizzying, cosmos moment in longer sets. 

This powerful two tracker from Slam is a welcome return for Paragraph.

Hinz & Ruhmhardt come out of the gate full speed on their first EP with Doch. 
A grinding and relentless kick drum, hi-hat and snare combo that no doubt hypnotizes even the most relenting soul. Those merits alone can command a dance floor but, combined with a single organ line that is equal parts villainous, psychedelic, and beautiful while being perfectly constructed with a masters knowledge in the art of tension and suspense, they have conceived a magnum opus of grand proportions.
An aural field fusing the finest elements of both heaven and hell.

MARK REEVE | Dice Remixes Part 2 [SOMA407D]

1.	Dice (Harvey McKay Remix)
2.	Dice (Pig & Dan Remix)

Part 2 of Mark Reeve’s Dice Remix package comes courtesy of 2 of Techno’s biggest names, Glasgow’s own Harvey McKay and the wonder duo of Pig & Dan. Both have turned in excellent interpretations of Mark’s storming original, each lending their own imitable style to the package.

Man of the moment, Harvey McKay steps up first and makes his remix, as ever, all about the rolling grooves. Choppy vocal cuts and solid percussion carve one funked up bassline out as Harvey slowly works in the original vocal sample backed by his own cuts while shard like rides slice through, taking the track up a notch. Subtle builds helps Harvey create tension before firing back into his sub-laden groove. Harvey’s real skill in this remix shines through in the arrangement that always seems to be increasing in pace, keeping the track interesting.

Taking things in a heavier route, the dynamic duo of Pig & Dan drop a blistering remix next. Pulsing low-end kick off their hypnotising remix which is layered nicely with skipping percussion and quick shots form Mark’s original vocal sample. Going into the break they add an almost discordant hook that keeps things eerie and dark. Subtle change in the percussion allows the track to flow as this version keeps proceedings firmly rooted in the dance floor. 

These two heavyweight names are a great addition to the previous instalment of this remix series that sees Dice make a fantastic return to the scene in 2014

Mark Reeve - Dice (Harvey McKay Remix)(Soma 407d)

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.

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.

Ronny Vergara - Take Care (Hackler & Kuch Remix)

The third track titled "Rusk" is tough from the outset with solid percussion forming the tracks back bone, whilst light congas and a textured background loop create a sense of natural movement. Focused round a synthesised organ part that's soaked in reverb, the track is simple yet effective, with crossover appeal for people playing both Tech House and Deep Techno.
