For 002 ON takes a trip to the south of the Netherlands (via Amsterdam). Doka is a name on the on rise. His uncompromising, relentless productions has already seen release on Wolfksuil and Android Muziq and he a regular on the Dutch techno circuit. 

Dub techno is the first love of SHLTR and his own production style also touches on ambient and electronica. Together the pair form an impressive partnership, melding their sounds and styles in perfect harmony to create two stunning original tracks in Skarn and Sovite. 

Keeping it Dutch, ON welcome Darko Esser in his TRIPEO guise on the remix of Skarn. The Wolfskuil and Balans boss has been blazing a trail with his ltd vinyl only Tripeo series and is now taking the act on the road. Here he takes Skarn on a beautifully powerful acid-laced trip that is certain to please. 


Doka & SHLTR - Skarn EP

ALEXANDER KOWALSKI is someone you should know. Not only is he a resident artist at our club, but with uncountable EPs and several albums on Heiko Laux’ label Kanzleramt and others, he has contributed more to electronic music than many others. To have a separate platform for the darker and harder productions of his, he created the alias D_FUNC. a while ago.
When he approached us with the tracks that are now on the record in hand, we immediately fell in love with the Mills-like energy of them. Perfect drum programming, driving synth lines - two perfect tools for any proper techno set.

The Dirt Mix of Revalism which is included in the digital release package puts the original in a more modern jacket with its stompy beat - another proof of how well Alexander knows what the djs need to please their crowd.

Let the dancefloors burn!

Paul Ritch is back on Drumcode with his astounding new single ‘Brainwash’. Perfectly capturing the energetic, driving techno sound that Paul is capable of, ‘Brainwash’ delivers something that really engrains into the memory and leaves the dancefloor filled with vitality. On the flip side, ‘Inside Me’ is a heavily percussive rolling track that uses interesting synth hooks and stabs to create a rocking groove that creates vigour and depth that Paul’s techno represents.

Squillace's next EP is set to come via his own imprint This and That and he's teamed up with Berlin producer Philip Bader. After they joined forces back in 2012 with ‘Wild Things’ we're suitably excited for their next outing.

We have the premiere of one of the cuts and '14.000km away' is a delectably deep and devilishly dark cut. Its rolling groove just keeps on giving and if you want to inspire some final-stretch fist-pumping in your set then this is the cut for you.


Premiere: Davide Squillace & Philip Bader '14.000 Km Away'

We're always up for a spot of European collaboration here at Data Transmission (sorry Mr. Farage), so what could be better than an British-raised Italian and 'ein Berliner' firing some funky tech-house our way?

Following the success of their 2012 underground hit 'Wild Things', Davide Squillace and Philip Bader team up yet again, for the latest offering from creative melting-pot This & That. The result? Two dance floor dominating cuts - 'Free The Visa' and '14.000 KM Away'.

Check out 'Free The Visa', exclusively, here: http://datatransmission.co.uk/news/exclusive-premiere-davide-squillace-and-philip-bader-free-visa/

Petter B delivers an outstanding new EP on Drumcode proving that Swedish techno is thriving! The first track which, is a collaboration between Petter B, John H & M.E.E.O, uses an arpegiated synth before storming to the main section of the track and breaking down the doors. The gliding synth  sounds really fire with all guns blazing to produce a techno monster that growls. Petter B’s next two tracks involve two solo offerings that are heavily techno based. ‘Voltage Controlled Time’ uses raw distorted drums and a catchy synth line to really give the track a lot of energy and power. ‘Loggbay Session B’ incorporates a cool percussion element to the track to add rhythm and funk to the straight chunky drums.

Adam Beyer’s new EP titled ‘Teach Me’ is an accomplished piece of work that highlights Beyer's year thus far. 'Teach Me' starts with some eerie chords before the distinctive vocal kick in and the track drops into a rumbling techno track. ‘Darlek’ uses rhythmic beeps and huge synth stab to create a funky rhythm before the atmospheric pads create a beautiful setting for this incredible techno track. ‘Stop Talking’ is a deeper offering from Beyer using weird and unusual noises to create and interesting piece of work that is helped along by the throbbing bass underlying in the track. ‘Spaceman’ uses a rhythmic vocal, percussion and sub bass to turn this track into a funky techno piece.
