Techno On Lockdown

Fear State

They Sold Us On The Dream

While it's not quite a break up song, Control represents the loss of control while dealing with the emotional upheaval a breakup presents us with. It's really about the process of trying to find the strength and courage to let go of something you thought was the one, and succumbing to the reality that what you once had has truly concluded, like every great story eventually does. "A last inhale as love gently dies."

More 165bpm stuff for livesets n thangs.  My live catalog is embarassingly light - working on fixing that for some things on the horizon this year. :)

More soon!  And maybe even a quiet confirmation of murmirings that another full length album might be coming down the pipe... Or the pike.  Choose your P-word.  My album is coming down that.

Chipmusic Heroes VI - Swerdmurd - Tunnel Vision

Vast, solitary and isolating, the flagship song, like the others in the Tundra Series of Sound provides a contemplative marriage of atmospheres that reflect resonances of the frozen north.  A palate of wilderness within a sphere of aesthetic.

Prelude

To The Sound Of Music Cutting Out

Pig&Dan signal their first solo outing on Drumcode since 2016, with a stirring four-track work.

The duo stands as one of electronic music’s most prolific artists, shapeshifting between different shades of house and techno over a 15+ year period, all the while displaying a startling breadth that’s ensured their enduring demand. Their relationship with Adam Beyer has solidified over the years, first impressing with a debut EP ‘Mexico’ in 2016, before collaborating with the Swede himself in 2017 for the fantastic four-tracker ‘Capsule’, a notable highlight. With their contribution to last year’s A-Sides compilation ‘La Bruja’ one of the strongest of the bunch, their return for a full-length EP is timely. 

Title track ‘Infinity’ is rave-infused stadium techno crafted to perfection, driven by an undulating melodic lead that builds to a tension-packed break, before the chords re-appear and propel the track toward a trippy finale. Vocal cut ‘Losing Part of Me’ is momentous, with punchy bass and pin-sharp percussion juxtaposing superbly with the emotive vocal and laser-kissed melodic touches. ‘Terrax’ is propelled by woozy synth leads that escalate in intensity, before unexpectedly dropping into a series of soothing synth interludes, before slamming back in with purpose. The EP concludes with ‘Plex’, as a brooding melody line is paired with pumping percussion for an atmosphere-heavy finale. 

Tracklist: 

1. Pig&Dan – Infinity

Premiere: Rocky Valente - The Revolution (Mark Reeve Remix) [ELEVATE]

Out now
https://snd.click/The_Revolution_EP

The charismatic whirlwind Rocky Valente dishes up a three-track EP of varying techno feels featuring a high octane rework from Mark Reeve, on Pig & Dan's ELEVATE.

The Amsterdam based DJ and Producer strides through on the A-side with a 4/4 driving peak time monster entitled ‘The Revolution’. Shuffling hi-hats over a tight, rolling kick drum provide the pace with reverberating synth effects and subdued arpy basslines filling the corners of the track. ‘Anxiety’ features the dubby soundscapes often associated with deep Berlin dub-techno. The filtering echoes contrast the hard panning of the chord loop and are all locked in by her distinctive drum loops.

Mark Reeve remixes the A, providing an up-tempo driver that fills the sonic spectrum with crisp percussive drums and oscillating basslines. The huge melodic lines that chime in bring forward a cavernous breakdown that will stop dancers in their tracks momentarily before throwing them back into his deep grooves.

ELV137 3. Rocky Valente - Anxiety

Hope for the horizon beyond the mountain, where the span of the landscapes breathless the eyes and consumes it, on the windless trail.

The Windless Trail - #OutsideCompetition

After so many tracks that steered towards the epic side, I wanted to strip it down to something a little more sparse that depicted my interpretation of the outdoors.  Given this Covid-19 timeframe and the fact that due to border closures I've been separated from my girlfriend for over two months, this piece took on a more melancholic and introspective tone.
