TEKNO/MINIMAL/ETC

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.

Cast your mind back to March 2014 and you may well remember  Power Vacuum's excellent Vectors EP as a  soundtrack of that time. A caboodle of tracks from Objekt, An-I, Positive Merge, JoeFarr & J. Tijn came included. Ready yourself for a serious case of deja vu as Vectors returns for the sequel to that initial joyride.

This time they've got Vacated, Jerome Hill, Cylob, Cornwallis and even BR favourite Anklepants involved. The very mention of Power Vacuum conjures up thoughts of the peculiar, so expect the whole EP to revel in the weirder and wilder side of techno. Maximum fun from start to finish.

It seems fitting that, on the verge of our label's first release, we are able to deliver a mix from Australian-based Shedbug. He's been on our radar for some time so it's brilliant to finally get him on the podcast series.

The mix very much captures his love for tough, high-tempo electronic music, joining the dots between electro, techno and breakbeat. It features two new productions from him and was made with the D-floor in mind.
