Alan’s new single on Drumcode demonstrates exactly why Alan Fitzpatrick is a powerhouse within the techno scene. ‘The Tetra’ will enrapture the dance floor from the off with it’s brooding nature and syncopated claps. It pushes forwards with glistening highs before more melodic stabs join the equation and slowly the beautiful melodic phrase partakes in this outstanding piece of work. ‘We Are Forever Young’ finishes off the single with a slow burning after hour’s vibe that will keep the clubbers nodding. The third and final track ‘1992’ takes us back and has a tougher more energetic feel to it. With crunchy drums, a melodic synth and a catchy vocal hook this record is another Alan Fitzpatrick masterpiece.

Giri, also known as Gi Napoletano, is a Naples-born electronic music producer and DJ with a deep-rooted passion for sound design, synths, and vinyl. Influenced by Detroit techno and '90s/2000s UK techno, his style is defined by hypnotic grooves, complex textures, and industrial atmospheres. A pivotal moment in his career came in 2021 with the release of Antichthon, a 19-track concept album on Axis Records, the legendary label founded by Jeff Mills. The project was part of Mills’ Escape Velocity series and marked a major artistic milestone, showcasing Giri’s ability to blend futuristic vision with rhythmic precision. Prior to that, he released EPs on Evod, Awry, Prophet, and others. He also runs Antiterra Records, founded in 2020, and continues to release music under various aliases.

Stephan Hinz - Juncture EP [SNDST040]

1: Juncture
2: Panopticon
3: Illusions

It’s common knowledge by now that the name Stephan Hinz is synonymous with cutting-edge, big room anthems and his latest output, the ‘Juncture EP' continues to attest to the consistency of his prowess.
Hinz’ kicks off with the self-titled ‘Juncture’ as massive low end, crisp hats and burly percussion lay the ground work for a delicate and hypnotizing lead forging an impeccable balance between two opposing themes. Changing themes but sticking to his trademark approach ‘Panopticon’ lets the drums do the work. What can almost be considered a tool stands alone as heaving bursts of sonic gold explode through the percussive barrage creating an incredibly versatile tune suited for any occasion. Hinz wraps things up with the beautiful and impassioned ‘Illusion’ where simple but highly effective drum programming carries flawlessly restrained harmonies resulting in a lavish trek into the emotionally charged club moments.

Brazil-born, Barcelona-based DJ and producer ANNA has garnered international accolades from Mixmag, BBC Radio 1 and others with recent releases on the likes of Diynamic and Turbo Recordings. But her skill set reaches far beyond the studio realm as 2017 marked her busiest year to date. Beyond a whirlwind of festival appearances (including Movement and Awakenings), ANNA had the opportunity to perform at iconic clubs such as DC-10 and Fabric. 
This passion for the dancefloor was fuelled by a youth spent in the DJ booth of her father’s night club – and it now leads to her first outing with Kompakt: SPEICHER 101 carries the DNA of both the studio head and the club dweller, crafting two propulsive, massive belters out of simple, but effective ingredients. HIDDEN BEAUTIES dominates the A-side with raw bass power and sizzling drops of acid, while the flipside brings you THE DANSANT, one of these spiralling minimalistic techno bangers that just seem to grow indefinitely. The release is also a personal milestone for ANNA, as Kompakt’s records have always been a staple in her sets: “I have so many records from Kompakt, I’ve had them since I started, and even though I played so many different styles through the years, I can safely say that Kompakt has always been in my crate.” Her very own release on the label, however, seemed “like a distant dream”, she says. Turns out it wasn’t that distant after all – thanks to her knack for seriously catchy techno with a punch, nurtured by hard work and persistent focus. A perfect fit for Speicher.

DEAS - Velocity EP [SNDST042]

1: Ultraviolet
2: Black Sky
3: Velocity
4: Mandrake
5: Black Core

Second State 042 see us turn for the second consecutive time to an artist who has only before appeared on our VA compilation “SUM 3”.
DEAS now presents his first solo endeavor with a stellar 5 tracker titled ‘Velocity’ where lush psychedelics and raw, heavy Techno is balanced to perfection. Intensity prevails on cuts like ‘Ultraviolet’, ‘Black Sky’ and ‘Black Core’ where shimmering aural artifacts set the stage for fierce percussives and mind bending builds as opposed to the more delicately finessed touches on ‘Velocity’ and ‘Mandrake’ where the pressure reveals itself in much more subtle ways. If you are prepared to take a trip into the darkly enchanted corners of Techno, look no further. DEAS’ debut ‘Velocity’ has it all.

Staring back to 2011, Adam Beyer and Alan Fitzpatrick’s ‘Human Reason’ track was a huge Drumcode release and with Len Faki’s new stamp on it, he is showing the unique talent that Drumcode have within their ranks. Len Faki’s Remix incorporates the original lead sound into different rhythms and puts it against different sound textures to create a sure-fire techno track. ‘Memesis’ is a new original track from Adam Beyer and Alan Fitzpatrick that uses a deep bass line to create a solemnly dark atmosphere. It also uses synth stabs help to enforce this trippy, hypnotising ambiance that moulds the track together.
