2017/2

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.

Based in Cartagena, Colombia, Juan Diazo is an in-demand ghost producer but also a solo artist who cooks up all forms of house music. The Demos Imus Records head has released his sounds on the likes of Senssual Records, Miami 305 and World Sound Recordings and mixes expert sound design with fresh arrangements to ensure every tune cuts through.

His latest is the excellent 'Conditions', a densely textured, high-pressure house cut driven by vamping chords and lightly coiled drums. It rolls like an oncoming tsunami with sweeping filters and precision builds that ratchet up the tension as sultry, half-whispered vocals weave through the groove to bring a sensual edge. After a spine-tingling breakdown, thunderous drums and cosmic FX push into interstellar territory and sweat-soaked release.

Since Anna's huge success with 'Where Are You Now' last october a lot has changed in her live.

The second track is ‘Orbital’ from Moonwalk, a Neapolitan duo who have previously released on Still Vor Talent, Get Physical, Knee Deep In Sound and more. A thudding bassline underpins waves of synth arpeggios, before an atmospheric breakdown provides the focal point of the track.

Jam El Mar cut his teeth as one half of esteemed duo Jam & Spoon, with the pair achieving international recognition and receiving gold and platinum awards around the world for their releases. Now a solo artist, he’s been making some serious in-roads in the studio of late and this release is a prime example of what’s in store.

He debuts on Truesoul with ‘Touched By Fire EP’, which opens with ‘Stab’, a haunting track crammed full of piercing drums, whirling vocals and sharp synth stabs. This one has 7am written all over it. ‘Freak Out’, a simple yet dynamic track that creates a consistent journey based around the savvy vocal. Excellently produced and cleverly arranged, Jam’s vast experience as a producer shines through clearly.

Filled with contrasts in light and shadow and all the shades in between, Afterlife is thrilled to announce a collaborative release of Mind Against and Aether. 
‘Solaris’ is a melancholic listen in the form of a three track EP that brings in the light, dives in the dark and finally grounds you.
The title track ‘Solaris’ starts off with a poised, hypnotic groove that surges into arpeggiated chords, lighting the way. ‘Eclipse’ drifts off into a svelte bassline working with a darker, driven composition of synths. ‘Event Horizon’ finishes with an immaculately hewn journey, with focus on harmonic developments and whirring polymetrics.
