► Release Info:

Rising talent Kaufmann debuts on Truesoul, Adam Beyer’s more melodic techno label, with her two track EP ‘Tuffi’, out 1st November. 

The Berlin-based producer/DJ, revered Fusion festival regular and founder member of Dazed State techno collective, is a proponent of dark minimal techno with industrial ebm and spacey psychedelic elements.  Previously releasing on Stil Vor Talent, Global Underground, Senso Sounds, Einmusika, Subios Records and more, Kaufmann brings her best dark game with some contrasting lighter shades to ‘Drumcode’s little brother’.

‘Tuffi’: the title track starts with bounding techno beats and a hooky high bubbling synth melody like a mantra weaving through arresting breakdowns with heart-stopping drops marked by a funky vocal shout – but stalking under the radar and increasingly emerging are metallic industrial synth stabs, distorted hoover sounds and doppler FX, a more sinister dystopian side to the story. It’s a track of two beautifully crafted halves both of which will propel ravers dancefloorwards in droves.

‘’Tuffi’ taps into my melodic side. I wanted to create an uplifting track that gives you that floating sensation on the dancefloor while still delivering a punch of energy. In the production, it was all about blending the melodic main synth line with elements that retain a techno edge. I utilized extensive automation on the main synth to inject movement and life into the track.’ Kaufmann

 ‘Weird Flex’: a subtle rumbling beat, industrial SFX and growling reverb usher in machine-like phrases, urgent and dark like signals from a dysfunctional off-world planet – disjointed stabs, bites of tune, what sound like unsettling robotic processed vocal samples sung through didgeridoos – with multiple breakdowns and one humdinger with a sustained build before the drop, and subsequent compulsive dancing in clubs far and wide. 

‘To complement ‘Tuffi’, I wanted something offbeat and quirky. I chopped up a vocal, ran it through a vocoder plugin and built an FM synth line around it, giving it a slightly wonky feel. I dedicated a lot of time to perfecting the glide between notes to make sure it felt just right.’

Noir & Victor Ruiz - I Am ft. Cari Golden

Drumcode has become a label synonymous with some of the most-cutting edge and forward-thinking techno over the last 20 years. Their artists include both emerging and established names, and one of those well recognised is Enrico Sangiuliano. Now announcing the very first concept album of his career.

The prolific Italian producer has been catapulted into the limelight after the runaway success of his past releases, and now Biomorph is born. 

A very special concept album designed to take the listener on a journey of evolution. A musical adaptation describing how biological and technological advances over numerous generations of time have all started from the same first step in our own biological journey.

Divided into 4 parts, Organisms opens with atmospheric tones, gradually blending complex textures and timbres to begin the evolutional process. The beginning of this section combines full sounding arrangements before stripping it all back to basics. From here it dissolves into the atmosphere. Organisms then progresses into a break-beat influenced, down tempo track using synths to add complexity to the straight, broken rhythms.

Galactic, futuristic elements are found in both tracks in Cosmic Forces. Upbeat, groovy, electronic synths resonate, before ‘Hidden T’ brings the tension to get things pumped up with stratospheric swirls and twirls to lay down one of the most mind meltingly deep drops.

Metamorphosis is mysterious, its opening beat is a deep and piercing tone that sends the listener into a sensory awareness of their surroundings before breaking into a fully charged, techno track, with Enrico’s trademark sounds and textures.

All evolution has an ending.

Two Probabilities shows the positive, starting out evocative and emotional, with a gentle harmony, gazing towards a ‘New Dawn’. On the other side of the spectrum lies the negative. This is influenced with a rhythm that articulates the beat of death, mathematical, cold and metallic in texture, it shows the unsustainability of its nature, with a hectic, anxious break beat influenced ending.

The digital version also features a bonus track; 'A Further Existence'.

Two contrasting remixes of ‘Space Date’ come courtesy of Pleasurekraft and John Monkman, as the three-way collaboration between Adam Beyer, Layton Giordani and Green Velvet continues to thrill. Joining the strong reworks is an unexpected treat for fans; a last-minute inclusion of a fresh new original track from the trio.

Drumcode got its first taste of Pleasurekraft’s unique production touch in 2016 when ‘Dopefield’ dropped on ‘A-Sides Vol.5’. The Swedish/American duo’s exploration of cosmic techno realms made them the ideal candidates to re-work ‘Space Date’. Their contribution is as visceral as they come; defined by a hypnotic vocal arrangement, a stirring call and response melody and propulsive galloping beats fashioned for peak-time moments. No surprise it was a highlight of Adam Beyer’s Ultra Resistance sets and gobsmacked Maceo Plex who requested a promo to play at Time Warp a week later.

Meanwhile Drumcode debutant John Monkman steps up with a very different, but not less deadly reinterpretation of ‘Space Date’. The Brit has impressed in recent times with strong releases on Ellum, Kompakt and his own Beesemyer imprint, and takes this form into DC207. His is a twisted intergalactic re-rub drenched in warped electro, blistering modular sounds and touches of IDM that manages the difficult task of taking the original to darker, more leftfield realms without ever losing its powerful dancefloor pulse. 

A new collaborative work ‘Data Point’ joins the pack, only completed by the trio of Beyer, Giordani and Green Velvet in late May in time for the Drumcode boss to drop it at IMS Dalt Villa during the sunset slot with Ida Engberg.

The Virgo label boss Ilario Alicante presents the first in a series of
collaboration EP's with many recognised artists of the Electronic music scene.

The first episode consists of two collab-tracks with Kevin De Vries, who is well known for his releases on Afterlife. The track “Dystopia” merges a driving bass-synth line with mysterious melodies, the second is “Lotus” recognised with retro-wave arpeggios and pads, orchestrated by a refined techno groove making a unique adrenaline rush.

Kevin himself includes two of his own solo-tracks, including the noteworthy “Dragon of Eden”, that is already known in many of Ilario’s DJ sets. The track takes the listener on a voyage through charming melodies accompanied by the unmistakable groove of the Berlin-based artist.
