Sales Informations
Its not an easy thing to do over a 15 year periodto maintain an interesting, updated formula of something you started fifteen years ago, commented Adam Beyer on his label Drumcode in a recent interview. Since 1996, Drumcode has grown to become an institution in the global techno scene, encompassing a radio program, an event series, and, most importantly, a home for the musical vision of its artists and founder. First founded by Beyer to self-release his own records, Drumcode is currently placed alongside the most influential techno imprints, and ranked among the worlds best. 15 Years of Drumcode not only celebrates this legacy, it propels the label further with a fresh injection of new and unreleased tracks from some of technos finest producers.
In typical Drumcode fashion, 15 Years of Drumcode celebrates the past by focusing on the present. There are no throwbacks, rehashings, or even remixes of the labels classic tracks. Instead, the 28-track compilation showcases only the newest and most exciting work of Drumcodes current roster, cascading between tough, thumping techno and housier, atmospheric arrangements. Yet even with its heavy variety, each track displays the kind of no-nonsense attitude that has become a hallmark of Drumcodes sound.
Amongst the talent featured on the compilation include of some technos undisputed heavyweights; CLR boss Chris Liebing teams up with Brian Sanhaji on their stomping, warehouse-filling track The Undertaking. H-Productions founder Cari Lekebusch and Joseph Capriati collaborate on Napoli 4 pm, a hybrid tech-house track undulating with bass and metallic effects. Theres also appearances by Soma Records founders Slam, whose tracks Temperance and Sonic Scuffle bristle with momentum and straightforward velocity. Adding to the roster of talent on 15 Years of Drumcode are tracks from Dustin Zahn, Gary Beck, Jesper Dahlback, label head himself Adam Beyer, and many others.
Slated for release in late November, 15 Years of Drumcode will be celebrated with a concurrent album tour across Europes most prominent clubs featuring headlining sets by Adam Beyer and other members of the Drumcode family. While theres certainly plenty for Drumcode to reflect on over the past fifteen years, its still the moment that counts.
