Drumcode starts 2020 with a sterling EP from genre hero Thomas Schumacher, his first on the label after a long association with Adam Beyer.

No ifs or buts, if you’re a techno fan, Thomas Schumacher holds a place in your heart. His 1997 classic ‘When I Rock’ still gets rinsed, he has a vast body of stellar work on his influential former label Spielzeug Schallplatten, including a release from Adam Beyer, and he continues to deliver pin-sharp productions via his Electric Ballroom imprint, including a scorching remix of ‘The House of House’, the 1994 classic from Cherry Moon Trax. The rework was first played by Beyer at Time Warp and has been a 2019 highlight.

He first contributed to Drumcode in 2018 with ‘The Unseen’, a stirring contribution to ‘A-Sides Vol.7’, setting up a maiden EP with ‘Crimson’. Beginning with the brilliant ‘Feist’, it’s a no-nonsense brain melter, as 303 arpeggios bloom and recede, creating a thrilling rhythmic intensity throughout. The title track ‘Crimson’ is crafted around two minutes of tension-building synths, before a beat finally appears and a rasping deep bassline commands the dancefloor. ‘Anker’ brings the rave with eagle-eye focus, unleashing a wall of fierce acid to round out the pack.
“Adam and I have both been producing and playing techno since the early ‘90s. I have deep respect for him as a person and artist. It’s an honour to have the opportunity to collaborate in this way.” – Thomas Schumacher

Twelve months on from his outstanding debut album on Drumcode ‘Transmission’, Julian Jeweil returns with a stellar five-track EP.

Since his label debut in 2017 with EPs ‘Rolling’ and ‘Space’, Julian Jeweil has confirmed his place as one of Drumcode’s most vital artists. He’s been a mainstay of label events, playing the main stage of Drumcode Festival in both 2018 and 2019, Drumcode Halloween in ‘19 and multiple showcases at Watergate in Berlin. ‘Transmission’, his maiden LP, dropped in January 2019 and was an early year highlight, reinforcing his production nous.

Inspired by his experiences touring off the back of the album, ‘Schema’ EP offers up a quintuplet of cuts showcasing the rawer and ravier side of the Frenchman’s sound. The title track is an immersive roller, primed for a Sunday session at Berghain. ‘Outline’ ups the intensity with cascading synth effects and galloping beats. ‘Music’ is the delicious brain-scrambler thanks to its intoxicating brew of shuffling beats, vox and swirling acid. ‘Axis’ is a slam dunk of industrial bass and 303s that builds to a grin-inducing climax. ‘Landscape’ plunges the atmosphere into deeper territory, still propelled by a pummeling bass and acidic inflections.

London based artist DYSART kicks off 2020 with a class new EP ‘No Acid’ on Kneaded Pains. After his third EP on Intec in 2019 and multiple Radio 1 support, it looks like 2020 could be the year for DYSART.

Keeping to his stripped back style, ‘No Acid’ is a lesson in less is more. Pounding 909 kicks pulverise as metallic percussions syncopate the rhythm. Dystopian vocals, clever drum work and eerie synths complete the sonic landscape resembling the kind of desolate terrain perfect for techno. 

On remix duties, rising star Frazi.er ups the tempo punctuating the tension with submarine radar bleeps and a skippy woodblock groove. Relentless and hypnotic. Finally, ‘Dark Metal’ sees overdriven kicks, warped clicks and percussions, and bleeps create the kind of dark energy that only peak time techno can make. Strong tribal drum work again sets this apart from the herd.

The Southern - Raw Culture [EI8HT]

Whenever Erol Alkan sits in the studio, magic is always around the corner and 'Spectrum' proved to be one of his best original productions yet.

On remix duty then, it seemed only right that Erol enlisted one of the best in the business and Paul Woolford's Special Request alias never misses. 

While we're only a few weeks into 2020, we're already confident that this Kaleidoscopic Mix (one of two remixes on the EP) will remain one of our favourite edits of the year. It's deep, it's dreamy and oh does it bang.

Erol x Paul, well, that's just silly isn't it. 

Check it.

Comradery w/ Comrade Winston and Forkowski  - selected by Mark

I’ve selected Comradery w/ Comrade Winston and Forkowski as my favorite show of February. A 2-hour b2b session, bringing the old-school techno sound to the station. A true pleasure for the real techno heads! Been programming his shows for some months now and he’s already invited names like Stranger, Tripeo and Remco Beekwilder. Always great to see when someone puts so much effort into inviting guest DJ's for their shows. More coming up every 2 months!

Comradery w/ Comrade Winston & Forkowski - 19th February 2020

Riven sounds like the speed of regenerating, desperately and orderly. A beautiful quality of air traveling inside an enclose space, inner echoes and droplets.

I feel water, the tightness and looseness of organic architectures. Intensities of light; at some point light glimmers over water, at others there are rays seeping into-and-out undergrounds, sometimes more somber and breathless. 

I see dawns throughout the album, resonating with a twilight of the gods, with patterns of night to day. Any rupture can be sealed again. Floating pieces attract. Who is left to speak when things split apart, and a world grows anew?

-Mayra Rodríguez Castro

The engine is starting. The engine is a pulse powering an escalator that’s moving upward to a public park. Smells like rubber, like burnout leaving traces in the air. You can sense the center amongst the rubble imagining highways of elastic or condensation as new life. 

Irregular heart morphs into two bodies and beats like reverberations off walls.  I glance over my shoulder like a spy. I’m tossing my heartbeat into the room for you to catch. 

-Erika Ceruzzi
