Alan Fitzpatrick, Reset Robot - Feel The Rhythm [Uncage]

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks on each, both consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Although Andreas Quiring and Frederik Laaser, better known as The Reason Y, are already main stays in the Berlin scene, it's our great pleasure to present them to the world as the most recent additions to the Second State roster with their stunning debut EP; 'Hide and Seek'.

Over the course of three superb tracks we dive deep into the heart of Planet TRY and explore a world ripe with stunning colors, rich textures and an abundance of life. It begins with the aptly named title track 'Hide and Seek' which takes place somewhere in a dark cavernous grotto as a light flickers in the distance. As you move closer the light grows brighter but without warning quickly vanishes leaving you lost and wondering. The light flickers again and the chase continues only to end the same way it began again and again.

If 'Hide and Seek' is a game in the dark depths than the next track 'Sumatra' is a ride through the rain soaked jungle under the full moon. While faint sounds of howls and mating calls echo between mud soaked footsteps, drops of liquid bounce off your skin creating an orchestra of organic enlightenment.

The final experience on Planet The Reason Y is 'SXF' and it's a farewell to the world just discovered. Glimmers of shape and color slowly come together to reveal the bigger picture; a floating gem amidst the backdrop of infinite space as the new world is departed. As speed increases and distance grows the once overwhelming new world new turns to a tiny pebble and slowly retreats into the pitch black leaving only the warm ambience brought on by new journeys. 
In the words of Hunter S. Thompson: "Buy the ticket, take the ride." and experience life on the planet of The Reason Y.

Amber Blue Recordings is expanding its horizons and welcoming an artist from Romania to the label group for the first time. As Within So Without is celebrating its debut with a powerful 3-track EP ‘Sound Of Mirage’, which covers the entire spectrum of modern melodic techno sounds. 

Each track showcases a different facet: sometimes driving and club-oriented, sometimes atmospheric and hypnotic, sometimes with a deep, emotional character. The result is a versatile release that not only demonstrates producer skills at the highest level, but also underlines the label's musical openness. 

A fresh sound that fits perfectly into the Amber cosmos and opens the doors wide to new influences. A strong sign that melodic techno can always be reimagined and is therefore very welcome: As Within So Without.

<p>Daniel turns on the bounce in his return to Evolution and sprinkles his meticulously crafted synth riffs over the sparse arrangement while the shadowy effects create a tense atmosphere.&nbsp; <br />
AndReew&#8217;s remix takes a completely different approach and focuses on the haunting, melodic phrases working over the pulsating bass and crackling rhythm section.</p>

Octopus Recordings boss Sian offers up a first listen of his forthcoming single 'Pulsating Halo' - a sinister dose of jet-black techno with a  galloping dancefloor ambition that is full of mischief. 

"This track represents the vibe of the warehouse concept we are doing lately - a dark, energetic, sleazed-up and adventurous feeling," says Sian. "Like Techno stripped down to the raw essentials, new-school, and featuring unabashedly creeped out vocals, as ominous as the times we are living in!" 

'Pulsating Halo' drops on October 22 via Octopus Recordings.
