A great philosopher (Samuel Johnson, not Ebeneezer Goode) once wrote… “our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks”. While it would be a stretch to suggest the Drumcode artist roster are closet philosophy fans, once one begins to unravel the tale that led to Jel Ford remixing the 2012 Alan Fitzpatrick hit ‘For An Endless Night’ and it is impossible to escape the unexpected enterprise and spirit of surprise that are at the heart of this exciting collaboration. 

As fans of Adam Beyer’s label will testify, the two Drumcode names have more in common than just a label stable, they also share common ground with the peak-time melodic sound that has delivered many of the labels most memorable output. Ford being a much more recent addition than Fitzpatrick, whose history with the seminal Swedish imprint stretches back to 2009, however Ford’s history within techno goes back even further having released multiple EP’s through the early noughties on vintage UK techno labels including Dave Angel’s Rotation Records, Billy Nasty’s Tortured Records, Primate Recordings and Ford’s own Jericho imprint. 

It is within this shared passion for uplifting synths and big room melodies that the ‘unexpected spark’ of creativity that led to Ford remixing Fitzpatrick can be found. An long-time admirer of Fitzpatrick’s work, Ford had developed an idea for his alternative version and secretly worked on the remix long before any discussion of the project had taken place. Once given the draft version, Fitzpatrick immediately endorsed the remix, excited to have an updated version to breath new life into what had become a familiar staple of his sets for the past two years. Parts were swapped and the end result being the barnstorming end-of-night monster presented here. A track that will be familiar with many having been the subject of much social-media furor since it first surfaced back in Autumn 2014. 

Alan Fitzpatrick - For An Endless Night (Jel Ford Remix) - Drumcode - DC140

ANT035 - Alessio Mereu, Xpansul - Moldy Oscillator 

A cool work from Xpansul and Alessio Mereu coming back together in the same ep, after the previous project From Somewhere To Nowhere released on 2009 on T-Bet Records. But this time there's a striclty featuring enclosed in the emphasis of two tracks, including a remix by Sasha Carassi already known for his great works on various labels such Drumcode and mores.

"Moldy Oscillator" is a powerful mix of synth attacks and transporting bassline, the kick is very deep but strong too. An ancestral background takes everything so dark and aggressive, a great Techno dark mix.

Second step for "Moldy Oscillator" remixed by Sasha Carassi, the bassline is very fat and hard, the synth runs in background very hypnotic and insidious. Heavy techno dark gear of course.

"Acid Cream Whip" has a pumping groove and is framed by a an electronic bassline, an acid synth carrying the track very high, rolling chords and majestic cuts. Acid pumping Techno tune.

A flawless job, where youth and experience are a winner pair for an epic release of course. Analytic Trail, your trusted music dealer.
