Mas Teeveh feat. Unperson - Paradox (AnD Cyclops Remix)

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

1: Stephan Hinz - Venom
2: Stephan Hinz - Primal
3: Stephan Hinz - Out Of It
4: Stephan Hinz - Shadowselves [digital only]

Stephan Hinz returns to Second State once again, painting the canvas of silence with his masterstroke of imposing drums and vicious hooks. 'Venom' is Hinz' latest offering and comprises four incredibly massive tunes which perfectly showcase his evolving sound of Techno's best in peak time pandemonium. 
The title track 'Venom' kicks off the EP with a devilish throbbing groove while mischievous organ stabs rise and fall generating an impeccable balance between tough and playful. 'Primal' follows up with a more devious style where relentless percussion and sinister synth stabs culminate into absolute debauchery. Switching gears, 'Out Of It’ shows Stephan twisting the track's elements into a grooving, up-beat tool with a contagious faction of ingredients that transform into a sublime trip suitable for a million situations. 
Clinching the EP is a venture into the ethereal: the aptly titled 'Shadowselves' takes a journey into the dramatic world of villainous sonics and surging tones creating a labyrinth of dense atmospherics before winding into a grand crescendo.

Endlec - Born From Chaos EP [ANA003]

Practice jam playing mutes and solos to create some sort of momentum from a lone pattern playing of the new Roland TR-09 drum machine.  Always fun figuring out the timing and feel of the button functions while letting it run wild.

Tracklist:
01. Thomas Schumacher - Stella (Original Mix)
02. Thomas Schumacher - Persistance (Original Mix)

Release Info: 
This is the final release in Thomas Schumachers break out Natural Rhythm trilogy on Noir Music. Not only did he position himself on the top of the charts with the first two releases but he also put his name straight in the spotlight and into the dj-sets of many of the top players in the techno scene.

So whats the next move when you have great success and peoples attention ?For both Noir Music and Thomas Schumacher its a no-brainer; You take it one step further and keep challenging yourself and your audience.

The opener Stella on this release is an example of just that. A very emotional string-led track accompanied by relentless techno beats, distorted arppeggios and a big cinematic break to make you pull your hair out from pure joy (i know i almost did).
Persistence is a mesmerising acid-journey that digs deeper and deeper in its intensity as it evolves into one of Thomas Schumachers signature breaks. Then the track takes an unexpected turn through a more complex, dynamic rhythm before resolving back together with its contagious 303 theme.

Its another 2-tracker from Thomas Schumacher where I feel I signed two a-sides as he just keeps making quality music the way only he knows how. It puts a smile on my face every time I play these tracks in the clubs around the globe and I hope it will please your ears as well.

- Noir

The second track will be premiered on @decodedmagazine tomorrow friday 24.11.

Missing Channel (Robert Hood & Claude Young) - Onslaught (FJAAK Remix)

SWART is de perfecte opener van onze eerste What Happens compilatie. Hij windt er geen doekjes om en beukt er vanaf de eerste seconde op los. Een mooie opbouw die uitmondt in een explosieve climax.

paradox

SWART - Paradox

Een trippy track van Bolster. Duistere techno gebracht door twee vrienden met passie voor ‘t vak, en dat voel je.

Bolster - Hyper

Rampetampen, we hadden de track zelf niet beter kunnen noemen. Vercauteren is nog piepjong en ‘t is de eerste keer dat hij iets uitbrengt: een primeur! Hoe wij hem ontdekten? In het rokerskot van de Fuse. To be continued...

Jan Vercauteren - Rampetampe

Ze waren al te gast bij o.a. Voltage Festival, Kompass Popup Club, Tomorrowland en Decadance. En nu maken ze hun intrede op onze compilatie. Een duistere techno track met spacey soundscapes. We like.

Two Times Four - Wind

De eerste track van Martijn die tussen onze reviews verscheen was ‘Berlin Door Policy Part I’. Wij waren volledig verkocht! Daarom maakte hij er nu speciaal voor ons een Part II van. Lekker hard.

The Void

It’s been a year since I released originals and since then I also gave my studio a big make-over. 
I have gone back to being more analog/hardware based in my production methods again and I guess in some ways you can hear that in this release. 
For “Damage Control” I chose 3 tracks I felt had different vibes to them.  

Psychosis carries a familiar Noir Music sound with a very in your face beat and musical message. 
Damage Control is a more groovy track build around modular synths and a filthy bass that cuts through the soundscape. 
Autophagy is a fast-paced monster with percussive intensity and FM synthesis filtering in and out through the entire journey.

  The tracks have ofcourse been roadtested and believe me even the smaller details changed a lot over time to fit my personal taste 100% After a long process I am finally happy with the tracks and ready to present “Damage Control”.

Red Scan - Unstable Mind

What Happens is gefascineerd door alles wat te maken heeft met elektronische klanken en is ontstaan met het idee om onbekend talent in de kijker te zetten. We bieden een platform aan dat nieuwe releases, te ontdekken artiesten, lokaal talent, gevestigde waarden en hippe organisaties onderdak biedt in de vorm van hapklare artikels. 

Wat begon als een subtiel avontuur ver in 2016, is vandaag de dag uitgegroeid tot onze grootste passie. We plakken liever niet het etiket elektronische muziekblog bovenaan onze website, maar zien het breder. We bieden onze lezers een mix van muziek en onze visie op het feestende leven. En als we een leuke release tegenkomen of het nieuwste wonderkind ontdekken, dan vertellen we je dat ook ineens.

Waarom we doen wat we doen: we willen talent ontdekken, jong of oud, en in the picture zetten. Artiesten, promotors, events of labels die alles in huis hebben om het te maken, maar nog net dat extra editoriale duwtje in de rug nodig hebben.
