A producer with 20 years of experience perfecting his craft, we’re excited to welcome Ramon Tapia to Drumcode for his debut EP.

The artist previously contributed a pair of cuts to the A-Sides series in recent years with ‘Sonic Therapy’ and Drum Control’, while also playing the Drumcode stage at Tomorrowland in 2019. Elsewhere he’s dropped heat on Truesoul, led by the crisp groover ‘Manipulate’. His ascension to Drumcode for his first full-fledged solo EP release is richly deserved.  

As with so many during the past year, Tapia’s taken his studio work in colourful and interesting directions. ‘The Future of Mankind’ is a multi-faceted beast. The title track is a straight-up weapon, driven by an ascendent riff that’s energetic and hopeful in equal doses. ‘Song of Sirens’ sees ambient pads and rolling percussion combine for a quality cut every DJ needs. ‘Screwdriver’ does what it promises on the tin; guttural and textured, it’s a necessary transitional tool for every techno set. ‘Hold On’ is the kind of emotion charged dance music that’ll make us go collectively weak at the knees when raving returns. We’re already excited to hear it rinsed at Drumcode Festival in Malta this September, when Tapia joins the party.

Alan Fitzpatrick welcomes Southampton producer Ronnie Spiteri for his sixth release on We Are The Brave; a full throttle 3 tracker sure to kick up a storm on dance-floors worldwide. 

A regular on Tronic, Mobilee and Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound, Spiteri's diverse musical output spans various genres. All three tracks on his latest WATB EP are dark and tantalising. 

"Devils Dust" opens the release with its booming kickdrum and shuffling hi-hats that sandwich the dubby chords and arpeggio synth line. "Amnesia" is all about the spine-tingling lead synth, and "Red Zone" closes out the release with explosive snare rolls and a hypnotic groove.

One of the hottest producers in the industry comes in heavy with his new EP. Side A features 'Dust' a pounding heavy track that just hits hard right out of the box! Side B features 'Hooter' a track with a heavy baseline, big pounding synths, and dark voices that come in and out of the track and give that extra boost to take it to another level. The EP closes with another mix of Dust that's more of a stripped mix of the track but yet continues with energy. A must EP for your sets!

Carl Cox is an industry figurehead whos legacy in music includes his iconic label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell, and the labels new release is from RanchaTek.

Serbian artist RanchaTek makes his debut on Intec following releases on Orange Recordings, Loose, Bitten, Nervous and Unity Records.

Listing Carl Cox as a significant influence alongside people like UMEK and Richie Hawtin, this EP is an extra special one for Vladimir Rancic aka RanchaTek who has always wanted to feature on Intec.

A regular performer at many of Serbias top techno events, its also not uncommon to see him on DJ line-ups in other countries such as the Czech Republic, Bosnia and Croatia.

Dark with a relentless intensity, the two tracks on this EP have contrasting moods with Defect having a focus on deep atmosphere while the up-tempo groove of Freak raises the roof with its hard-hitting style.

"Defect" has a subtle euphoria cut by bursts of acid while the underpinning percussion provides a steady momentum immersed in shadowy atmospherics.

Second on the EP Freak has a heavy kick drum that pounds underneath the stabbing synths and onslaughts of the thrashing hi-hats while the commanding vocals complement the pulsating rhythms of the bassline.

"For Respekt 176 we're pleased to welcome back Transcode and SAMA, who have both featured on the label before, but this time combine their powers for a behemoth of a release. First up is Transcode's solo outing 'Eternal Gateway', a blissed-out synth daydream with breathy sequences dancing over an emotive reese bass and galloping drums. On 'Rectify' you can hear both producers' distinct styles shining through with a tougher, but still euphoric direction."

Markantonios label AnalyticTrail is back with a new mixed artist EP featuring the label owner himself alongside others who have previously featured on the imprint such as Luis Miranda, Dok&Martin, Angioma and Hanubis.

Expression is a series that showcases emerging talent that are set for big things in the near future with many of the artists having already featured on other influential labels such as Kraftek, Odd Recordings, Terminal M, Codex Recordings, Set About and Tronic.

The sixth edition of the series gives further exposure to each of the artists who are all destined for big things in the future months, and Markantonio adds his own music to show support for their talents that are already parallel with some of technos most established veterans.

Opening with the powerful synth line of "Fearless" by Markantonio, the compilation transcends the full spectrum of techno incorporating acid, industrial and twisted euphoria. Dark and compelling, each of these exceptional tracks are perfect for peak time DJ sets.
