Green Velvet & Jay Lumen - It's All About Me (Original Mix)

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.

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

It’s time for a reversion excursion as four of Systematic boss Marc Romboy’s most distinctive 2015 cuts are shaken, stirred and slammed to smithereens by four of his most on-point peers. Get to know...

Dosem blasts the starter horn with a ravishing techno twist on Marc’s pensive sunrise charmer ‘Elgur’. Working around the spine-melting sensation of the original’s emotion-wrenching chord structure and breakdown, he injects it with a teeth-baring bass groove that chugs to create a turbo-charged remix that still retains all the beauty of the original.

Audiojack follow with a superlative remix swing: their take on ‘Byglia’ fuses naked hip-shaking beats with a lean-but-super-funky bassline. So few elements, so much fun... Especially when the original riff is deftly repurposed on two climactic occasions.

Deeper again we hit Alex Niggemann’s take on ‘Nasa’. Paying full respect to the original’s planet-aligning synthetic soul, Alex builds on the beauty by adding more shadows in the spaces and star-gazing cosmic overtones. Where the original took us into outer space and landed us gently back on planet earth, this leaves us hanging around a faraway nebula.

The fourth and final remix will ensure we stay in deep space too... The unstoppable Agents Of Time have taken Romboy’s cathedral-shaking original and completely rebooted it with lavish layers of crystalline synths that wink and twinkle psychedelically over a pulsating tech groove. Total hypnosis material that guarantees vast blasts of light in the darkest of hours.

Four versions, one massive release; each cut designed to Systematically smash your summer in every possible scenario.

Marc Romboy - "Elgur (Dosem Remix)" (SC Snippet)

When Pig&Dan decided to join forces, they began a truly prolific production schedule establishing their reputation as producers of pulsating electronic music that straddled dark house and high-energy techno, whilst creating their signature style of twisted and experimental breakdowns. Since those early days, they have created a repertoire that not many can match and have constantly been releasing their music on the most respected labels and playing at the best events worldwide.

Pig&Dan follow up to their outstanding first EP on Drumcode with ‘Chemistry’. Compromising of three tracks the mood fluctuates with each record to create a well-balanced, dynamic EP. Chemistry is a dreamy listening platform that mixes cyclic synth lines and stabs to crescendo into a late night imagination. The other two tracks are on the harder tip with their thunderous kick drums and disorientated sounds that provide a different edge to the EP with a harder, peak time sound.

Part of the Particles summer release schedule, Rick Pier O'Neil and Desaturate continued a rich vein of production form with their "Crouch/Cursed" EP in July 2016. Now Particles revisits the EP as "Crouch" receives a pair of remixes from the USA and Israel.

Dan Stark and Sertac Sahin are two US based artists joining forces for an aural assault on the deep and tech house genre with impressive results. Coming together from diverse backgrounds, both are accomplished producers and DJs in their own rights with their solo work hitting a plethora of different labels since the turn of the decade. Finding renewed vigour through their collaborative approach, the monthly show, "The Way" on Proton Radio, launched a new offensive to "showcase their signature sound" through a juxtaposition of different approaches and styles that complement each other when brought together. Commencing in March 2016, the show continues to go from strength to strength.

Production work that began with March 2015's remix of Hernan Cerbello for Low Pressings, has continued at rapid pace over the past twelve months. Thus, a growing catalogue of original works for Witty Tunes, Zenbi and Go Deeva has impressed, remixed by such leading lights as Sweden's Inkfish. A remix of Oliver Lieb's "Caldera" in February 2016 represented a fine Particles debut for Stark and Sahin, so it is with pleasure that we now welcome the duo back to the label. Remixing "Crouch", a strong rhythmic framework and shifting percussive cadence provide an anchor for the bass line, so fundamental to the original, to drive hypnotically forwards. A raft of additional production material is then found through twinkling melodic riffs and sonic soundscapes, coupled with Pier O'Neil and Desaturate's memorable effects, to create an impressive rework.

Israeli, superstar, Matan Caspi, has been at the forefront of both the underground and mainstream dance movements for a decade. Both as DJ and producer, Caspi has lit up the dance arena with performances in over twenty countries, through his "Beat Avenue" radio show - syndicated to stations across the globe - and well over a thousand production credits that span a host of impressive imprints including, Spinnin', Pacha and Enormous Tunes. Coupled with support from a galaxy of A-listers that include, Above and Beyond, Eric Prydz and Sander Kleinenberg, it is not difficult to see why his name is so revered. Indeed, appearances on Kleinenberg's "This is" compilation and Sultan's "Nubreed" for Global Underground, has continually seen Caspi at the height of the modern dance scene, enhanced further by the foundation of the "Outta Limits Recordings" label with fellow superstar, Stan Kolev.

April 2016's remix of Li-Polymer's "Silence between Us" marks Matan Caspi's impressive Particles debut and so it is an honour to now welcome him back for a second remix. Reworking "Crouch" in typically impressive fashion, a clever bass line variation and pounding beat sets the foundations for a groove-laden, up tempo remix that is full of Caspi's trademark production values. Creating a dance floor destroyer that is certain to delight, intelligent retention of the original's themes, with the addition of a sublime melodic sequence in the third movement, has generated a rework of power and precision from the Matan Caspi studio.

Reaching the heights with two new remixes from Stark and Sahin and Matan Caspi, "Crouch" continues to see Rick Pier O'Neil and Desaturate standing tall.

<p>Spartaque makes his long-awaited Phobiq debut with no less than four spacious cuts, all culminating to form a solid, cohesive EP.<br />
The title track sets the tone with a one-note squelch leading the way, while &#8220;American Hustle&#8221; continues in the same vein, adding discordant riffing and cavernous stabs. The percussion-led &#8220;Ghost Rider&#8221; changes things up a bit with its grinding rhythm section, allowing for the closing &#8220;Placebo&#8221; to emerge with its acidic lead and melodic overtones.</p>

2016 was a standout year for Alan Fitzpatrick, with the Drumcode stalwart racing out of the gates in spectacular fashion with the release of his fabric 87 mix. A substantial amount of high profile shows followed, including appearing at the inaugural Junction 2 festival and closing the car park to a packed-to-the-rafters-crowd at Drumcode Halloween. He returns to Drumcode with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, marking his first appearance on the label since late 2016 when he remixed Moby’s seminal ‘Porcelain’.

The release opens with ‘Brian’s Proper Dun One’, a track which caused a Twitter meltdown on Alan’s profile when he first started playing it at the tail end of 2016. Loaded with sharp and pounding drums, this is an ethereal experience from start to finish and packs a real punch. It’s a no holds barred, certified main room anthem. ‘Wait A Second’ feat. mc r1bbz has been a staple of Adam Beyer’s sets of late and has been getting a lot of air time on Drumcode Radio. This rave inspired track takes a raw, stripped back approach and delivers a real killer blow. Alan sampled the vocals of mc r1bbz from an LTJ Bukem tape pack from the early 90s and the record tips its cap to early jungle raves around the M25. The release closes with ‘Trance, Init?’; A homage to Alan’s days first and foremost as a raver before he became a DJ, with his non-purist attitude when it comes to electronic music shining through. The breakdown is sure to be a hands in the air moment at festivals all over the globe this summer.
