A symbol for quality techno music going back 15 years, Jay Lumen makes his solo EP debut on Drumcode.

A dance music journeyman with over 70 releases and a quality imprint Footwork Audio to his name, Jay Lumen’s solo debut EP on Adam Beyer’s label is richly deserved. The artist has been in standout form recently, most notably contributing ‘Galactic Rainbow’ to A-Sides Vol.10, one of the highlights of the compilation. We got our first taste of Lumen on Drumcode way back in 2012 when he teamed with Gary Beck for the rhythmic gem ‘Lotus’. Nine years on, his next EP offering doesn’t disappoint.

‘Returning’ is marked by crushing drumlines and shuffling beats, before gradually building into an emotional chord driven cut that looks hopefully towards the future. ‘Mind’ contrasts this perfectly, a loopy monster that rolls for days, evoking a distinct old skool spirit.
Speaking about the title track, Lumen explains: “I wrote ‘Returning’ when I was in a period of really missing techno and the party community. The physical contact with people at events, as well as on the streets and at venues before the shows. Hugs and interactions. I can already imagine playing this at the first open air after lockdown as the sun sets. This track is about the reunion and happiness we’re all going to share.”

The ever dependable Senso Sounds returns with a four-track sampler of new music from four artists you really need on your radar.

Senso Sounds Level 10 showcases some of the essentials sounds that make up techno right now, kicking off with the irrepressible ANDATA - otherwise known as Dennis and Max from Hamburg. The pair cook up
a heady mix of snarling beats and bass for Backroom, layered with a vocal sample summing up the late night vibe. As they describe it;  “The idea for the track came during a long night of partying with a completely overcrowded backstage. 

Our friends and family were all there and we partied to dark techno until the early morning. Afterwards we went straight into the studio and formed the track Backroom out of a moogy bassline and driving grooves. The vocal describes our experience perfectly and rounds off the energetic Techno track”.

Next up is Hiago Pauli from Krakow, Poland, with Acidente - a tough, driving piece of electronic machine music that will hit hard at peak time. It’s no wonder the track fits the label so well, as Hiago explains; “This track was created thinking about the Senso sound, studying and focusing on what would be ideal for the label. I tested the track on the dance floor, at my residency at Prozak 2.0 in Krakow, checking the response and tweaking the track over time as necessary”.

Leipzig’s Aio also contributes a track here - Farang - which dails into the celebrated producer’s signature tense and euphoric techno. Aio’s releases on labels like Stil vor Talent, Parquet Recordings, Dense Audio and KE//ER gave a hint of his versatility, and this release here bears all his trademarks.

Completing the release is Mike Clark aka LEKTRK, the Melbourne-based DJ and producer with a string of fine releases to his name. His contribution is Bump, “a chuggy club banger. This track has a pulsating baseline, an infectious thud guaranteed to cause your toes to tap and head to nod. This baseline is complemented with an assortment of grinding acid notes that are sprinkled throughout the track, laid in such a way as to give it a futuristic air. It's complex and dark enough to keep its edges sharp, yet versatile and groovy enough that it
will get a run on any good Techno playlist."

Superstrobe Unleashes Potent Techno Energy with "Stay Strong" on CODEX! Prepare for a sonic journey into the depths of techno mastery as Superstrobe drops his latest bombshell, "Stay Strong," set to release on December 22nd under the esteemed banner of CODEX. "Stay Strong" is a testament to Superstrobe's command over the techno realm. From the first beat, the track encapsulates the essence of relentless energy and pulsating rhythms. Superstrobe skillfully weaves layers of sonic intensity, creating an atmospheric landscape that is both powerful and hypnotic. "Stay Strong" is a driving track with some very melodic and emotional parts. It combines straight techno elements with very soulfull synth sounds. The idea of the track is to motivate and it should transport positive energy to stay strong in harder times. The key was to work with contrasts. The track is building up straight, but the break is breaking up everything. You can hear and imagine the feelings of hope and confidence.

I don't earn any money with music. I make music because I enjoy it. I make music because I'm convinced that people will like it or be enriched or consistently listen to it or support it or whatever. Now I'm in the Inca position that I can do it every Sunday, regardless of whether it's pop, dance music, friends, technology or a Samsung Galaxy. I've reached the stage of music that comes pretty easily to me. I need you to do it. I have my studio with DWA and everything is in there and that's the key to making music. Today I don't bang out songs from one topic at the same time and this is the track that I particularly love because I'm back with friends. Trance music is Back
