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.

A new name to join the ever-expanding Truesoul roster is ‘Okain’. His first EP on Truesoul majestically crosses the paths between house and techno. Using deep underlying sub bass rhythms throughout his tracks, Okain creates grooves that maintain an extremely funky feel throughout this EP. The use of percussion helps to reinforce this and keep the free flowing momentum going strong.

After a highly successful 3rd year and rave reviews from attendees and publications alike, Noisily Festival of Music & Arts is now firmly established on the UK festival map; bringing a diverse line-up of electronic music to the wonderful setting of Coney Woods at the Noseley Hall estate in Leicestershire from 9-12th July 2015. 

The event saw attendance double in 2014 with the addition of the Liquid Stage, and a huge step up in production levels. Combining the diversity of Glade Festival with the creative and artistic values of Secret Garden Party, this event is attracting a new audience who appreciate the attention to detail missing from so many of the larger and more corporate dance music orientated events.

So to get us in the mood for this years event we’ve hooked up with Noisily to secure an exclusive mix from Minus and SCI+TEC endorsed UK techno duo WHYT NOYZ ahead of their much anticipated appearance at this years event.

Taking us on a trip through the dark tunnels of the techno underground before building through peak time destroyers this is a mix sure to ignite any ailing dancefloor. Check it out complete with tracklist over at Data Transmission now!
