Xenex - Radiance (Original Mix) [Preview]

Foremost international techno outlet Drumcode is delighted to announce the release of its next full-length album, ‘Satellite’, by enduring Italian techno talent Sam Paganini.

Though he has been active since the mid nineties, recent years have been hugely successful for Sam, with searing techno EPs coming on revered labels such as Riche Hawtin’s Plus8, Sven Vath’s Cocoon and of course, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode. In his time he has been responsible for underground hits like ‘Zoe’, ‘Polyester’ and ‘Fire In My Arms’, all of which demonstrate his dynamic understanding of sexy, dark and hypnotic techno grooves and at the same time have earned him plenty of great Beatport chart positions as well as respect from the best in the game.

Incredibly, ‘Satellite’ is Sam’s first full-length album. Informed by his DJ gigs at legendary places like Berghain in Berlin and Cielo in New York, the album starts with a dystopian bit of sonic scene setting, as if a space ship is charging up ready to take off.

From there it’s a case of getting straight down to business. ‘Another Chance’ is a spacey bit of cantering techno and ‘White’ is rooted in devastating kick drums and is riddled with serrated synth lines that build lots of great techno pressure. ‘Down’ is an undulating bit of funky techno complete with choice vocal flourishes and tracks like ‘Lotus’ are prime offerings from the deeper end of the scale.

No two tracks sound the same on Satellite: Sam is always teasing out a new bit of texture, nailing a slightly different vibe or exploring different amounts of light and dark throughout the course of this most excellent album. This is evidenced by diverse cuts like ‘Dusty’, ‘Toxic’ and ‘Rave’.

Despite ‘Satellite’ being Sam’s debut album, it showcases his seductive style in all its glory across 12 fantastic tracks that will leave you begging for more.

Simina Grigoriu bridges the heavy and the melodic realms of techno for her inaugural EP on Kuukou Records. An experienced globetrotter, Simina is known for taking great inspiration from her travels, so it comes as no surprise that the name she’s chosen for her own label, Kuukou stands for “airport” in Japanese. 

Ninja Princess provides an exotic sound exploration, setting off all the elements from the get go. We’re emerged into a vibrant melody with a progressive bassline, taking us from luscious vocals to winding synths within a matter of seconds. Alfred Heinrichs closes up the release with another minimalist and murky reconstruction. Keeping the subtle melodiousness at bay through harmonic chord arrangements, Heinrichs brings out the late night club appeal of the initial track, making for a perfect dancefloor banger.

Xenex is a Croatian based Techno DJ and producer from Vukovar. He has been involved in the underground techno scene since 2006 and counts numerous appearances in some of the well known clubs in Croatia. Some of them were also abroad in countries such as China, Austria, Slovenia, Serbia and Bosnia. He shared decks with various international artists and most of the local underground artists in his region.

In 2013 he got into music production and till now his tracks could be found on labels such as Morc, DSR Digital, Eclipse Recordings, Naked Lunch, Dolma Red, Reload Black etc. Also his music could be heard being played or charted by artists like Amelie Lens, I Hate Models, Viper Diva (Shlømo & Hadone), A.Paul, DJ Jock, The YellowHeads, David Temessi, Du’Art, Boriqua Tribez etc. Style he plays is based on a darker and more straight forward techno, but he also likes to add a certain variety and dynamic elements in his sets depending on the crowd and atmosphere. His point of view is that techno is a music style that continuously evolves and so should we as artists. 

Xenex is also a founder of Croatian electronic music association RE:CODE. It managed in a short period of time to become a well established organization for promotion of electronic music culture and underground techno scene by showcasing international artists that never before played in its region.
