Alan Fitzpatrick is back with a three-track EP that encapsulates what Alan’s Drumcode sound is all about. Hard-hitting drums that fire down onto the dance floor like cannon balls. Check! Intense key patterns that are as twisted as they are uplifting. Check! Beautiful melodies that seamlessly interlock with each element. Check! Big-sounding, infectious grooves and killer hooks generously sprinkled with the infamous Fitzpatrick magic over the top. CHECK! In short, this EP is everything we have come to expect from Alan over his long history with Drumcode (this is his 10th EP as a solo artist!), but still his sound remains fresh and super-charged for 2014.

After a storming 2014 with releases on VIVA, Quartz and Snatch Off, ONNO is back with his first EP for 2015 on Adam Beyer's acclaimed Truesoul label. For this 3 track EP, ONNO explores the more techno focussed part of his sound, while retaining that bottom heavy, hip hop inspired groove that he is renowned for. 

The title track, aptly named "Techno Jam" kicks off proceedings with a bang. Straight up heavy techno beats are broken up by a processed vocal snippet before bringing everything back full force. On the flipside we find “Come On”. For this track, ONNO follows a less-is-more approach, focussing on just one hypnotizing melody line and blending this with a looped hip-hop vocal to create a dancefloor cut. Digital only track “Breakbeat Bats” completes the package with some analog synths and heavy 909 rides. All in all, this is essential stuff.

The Carl Cox Collective was created as an admirable, innovative royalty-free sample effort made up of sounds first recorded from scratch with instruments and vintage gear, then thoughtfully manipulated by none other than Carl Cox himself.

Keeping true to the dance floor darkness of the original, Carl Cox's rendition of 'Lidl Girl' provides an instant boost, driving straight into a mesmerizing beat that makes a smooth, obvious fit into the legendary Cox catalogue.

When I played in Belgrade I met this talented newcomer Ilija Djokovic who played a great set before me. He sent me his tunes and I was so impressed that I put one of his tracks on my essential mix right away.
I hope you enjoy these deep soulful techno release as much as I do plus a funky Hatzler remix! (Monika Kruse)

"I'm more than excited to start my new label GTO with these tracks as they represent a sound aesthetic that Im excited about and I would simply describe as: Techno. No limits." 

Gregor Tresher wraps up another remarkable year in the techno fast lane with a brand new label: GTO. It stands for Gregor Tresher Originals and the emphasis is on the word original as he continues to carve his own unique furrow in a brand new way. Investing everything hes achieved and explored across some of the greatest labels in techno from Drumcode to Cocoon, Music Man to Ovum, Moon Harbour to Bedrock, plus 60 releases on his own Break New Soil imprint, its time to freshen things up once again. Its time to get acquainted with GTO And it starts with another superb collaboration with long time friend and collaborator Petar Dundov. 

Stellarius and Anthropogenic show Gregor and Petar at their most energetic, forward-thinking and enthused. The former is a pacey drive into the unknown with layered synths weaving in and out of perspective to hypnotic effect while the latter shows a darker side to the duo as harmonic bass textures rumble with a rich loin-girding sinister feel and a carnal funk that springs off the off-beat hi-hats. Gregor explains the inspiration behind both compositions "Stellarius to me, is the biggest and most powerful track to emerge from our recent studio sessions. From the day we made it, I knew I wanted to save it for something very special. Well, I guess the occasion is here." 

"Anthropogenic causes mayhem everywhere I play it. I would say its inspired by the music of so many young and fresh producers making their way to the big stages now with a sound that hints a time when producing techno wasnt about functionality but more about a certain vibe of creating something new and exciting." 

New, exciting, inspired by the next generation: when Gregor says No Limits, he means it. Watch out for more exciting GTO releases very very soon!
