Drumcell - Departing Comfort

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.

Jay Lumen - You Know (Original Mix) Low Quality Preview

After appearing on our sister label Truesoul and also the A-sides Volume 2, dubspeeka releases his first full EP on Drumcode. Basing his sound heavily on his uniquely dark and twisted melodies, dubspeeka has created a brooding, atmospheric EP that capture each individual feeling on the techno scale from bouncing, energetic tracks to melancholic offerings. His use of Percussive sounds add energy to tracks such as Primary K290 and his array of eloquent lead lines add depth and character that can be heard on Primary K293.

Mind Against & Locked Groove
Elysium / Pulsar
HFT040

Hotflush unveils its second release of 2015 in the form of a collaborative single between label mainstay Locked Groove and ascendant Italian duo Mind Against.

With both acts coming off the back of triumphant finishes to 2014 - the success of Locked Groove's huge Enigma EP and Mind Against's surge into #33 position in Resident Advisor's 2014 DJ poll - 'Elysium / Pulsar' marks the first time the producers have collaborated. The end result combines Locked Groove's punchy, dancefloor-ready aesthestic and the emotionally resonant melodics that Mind Against have made their signature since breaking through with Life And Death in 2013.

Release date: February 9th 2015

A: Elysium

Hunter/Game - Speicher 83
BUY VINYL:  http://www.kompakt.fm/releases/speicher_83

Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose
ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has
since become a guarantee for vanguard
dance sounds from all over the planet,
allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support
electronic artists that comfortably inhabit
both the delicate and the more deliberate
ends of the electronic music spectrum. For
SPEICHER 83, Italian tag team
HUNTER/GAME present two hand-cranked
live jams rich in atmospheric detail and
flattening punch.

Due to the somewhat non-negotiable nature of a
hardware live jam, you'd be forgiven to expect a
certain sloppiness in the details that most realtime
composers make more than up for in
energy and perseverance – let us introduce you,
then, to HUNTER/GAME, the duo of Italian
producers based in Milan and New York who
seem to effortlessly combine the intimate
intricacy of a studio layout with the powerful
punch of a stage combo. Immediately
convincing listeners with some pretty masterful
execution skills, both cuts HEXAGON and
BERMUDA go on to sneak into anthem territory,
patiently adding layer after layer of sonic
imagination to a strong assortment of core
beats. An absolute must for any discerning fan
of hand-cranked electronic bliss with an edge.

Hunter/Game - Hexagon

forthcoming as part of the Some Break The Shell Remix EP

mastered by Cid Inc. -  http://www.cidincmastering.com

The 37th release on microCastle finds the label revisiting King Unique's Beatport #1 release 'Some Break The Shell'. The four track EP released in April of 2014 found the storied UK producer showcasing some of the most diverse and poignant work of this career. Now to kick off 2015 we see four brand new interpretations courtesy of Dubspeeka, Jamie Stevens, Pedram and Petrels who all have been selected by King Unique himself as his own personal dream team for this project.

One of 2014's most sought after remixers was undoubtedly Dubspeeka. The Bristol based producer is perhaps best known for being one half of the much loved Kosheen project which yielded one of electronic music’s finest ever records in ‘Hide You’. The Dubspeeka production moniker has already amassed an impressive discography with releases on Bedrock, Drumcode, Ideal Audio, Suara and his own Skeleton imprint. For his '7 Hours' interpretation Dubspeeka has stripped the beastly original right down and overhauled it into a romping techno workout. It's tension filled drive is offset with sombre synths and vibrant electronics which pierce the atmosphere with electric flair.

Mr McKay is back on Drumcode with an EP that is very close to home, titled ‘Glasgow Safari’. Harvey has blended his synonymous synth stabs and vocal hooks together and has created another outstanding EP. The drums are fat and chunky as always and allow Harvey’s ideas to flow effortlessly over a solid foundation. The smooth use of dynamic throughout Harvey’s tracks also create impressive drops to add to another exceptional EP from Harvey.

We've got the first play of A-side 'Elysium' by Mind Against & Locked Groove and this is some gold standard techno. It throbs menacingly throughout and features more layers than you can even pin-point. This is good.
