finally this great techno label is going black gold. the imprint from los angeles is starting with a best of series called warehouse series and it is what it is: techno - dark, dusty, loud and hard.

when pig&dan decided to join forces, they began a truly prolific production schedule establishing their reputation as producers of pulsating electronic music that straddled dark house and high-energy techno, whilst creating their signature style of twisted and experimental breakdowns. since those early days, they have created a repertoire that not many can match and have constantly been releasing their music on the most respected labels and playing at the best events worldwide. pig & dan make their entrance to drumcode with a full force, four track ep. the mexico ep encapsulates pig & dan s well known signature sound with each of the four tracks bringing their own identity to the release. the tracks, laced with driving kick drums, modulated samples and thumping bass lines, come together to create a heavy yet dynamic ep that prove pig&dan are masters of their craft.

pig & dans elevate label is going from strength to strength in 2014 with a series of stunning releases. if you are familiar with pig&dans work, then you know that they produce and play music that is far from linear. they are always looking to push the envelope with genre-bending music and a devotion to creating something special that gets right under your skin and elevates the spirit. pig&dans attention to detail is a mark of their creative excellence. having created a trio of dynamic techno grooves, they give each track its own distinctive identity. whether they do twitchy (sandstorm), full-scale onslaught (power), or transcendent beauty (there is no turning back), they always do it with unrivalled style and panache. it would be hard to find another duo whose creative juices flow so freely right now. what they have is a very special meeting of minds that is being cherished and developed to ever-greater heights as the years tick by, leaving the future of techno in very safe hands indeed.

repress 2019 - after a full year of dedicated work we are happy to announce that dominik eulbergs fourth album >diorma< will be released in may 2011 on traum. after the >heimische gefilde< album on traum, which won the german critic award, as the first techno album ever where comments by the artist himself appeared in spoken word, eulberg has this time aimed at an album which embodies various facets of electronic music. >diorama< therefore resembles something totally new and original and can be referred to as an affiliation towards the real authentic eulberg sound cosmos. he has accomplished this with the highest possible standard and contemporary sound aesthetic.

for the first release of 2018 we welcome harry wolfman to the outplay family! having followed his work for the last couple of years we re very happy to have him deliver this varied 4-tracker, which very well might be some of his best work to date. the a side starts off with hitch . a warm and dusty groover driven by rhodes, a rubbery bassline and a thudding kick. a lovely string piece in the middle of the track slowly builds up to the break for it to return to the head nodding groove soon after. the added percussion gives it a nice lively feel as well. pigs in blankets sets the pace a little slower, but the funk goes on. the track incorporates 80s style samples with some excellent synth and chord work. perfect for a warm up session. starting on the b side harry takes it up a notch with nemoto , which will be a definite stomper for the dance floor. it takes you on a 9 minute journey of rolling bumpy basslines, screaming distortion leads and hypnotising synth work. finally, to ease things off, sts-136 (final call) comes in at a slow 88 bpm pace as a perfect closure to the ep. dreamy pads, piano licks and a calming marimba melody combined with a beat which feels like a warm blanket will make you wander off for a moment

dalmata daniel continue with their inspired pairing of sonics and personalities on their seventh release (1st part of their split series) to date courtesy of dutch producer betonkust and budapest-based hardware techno fiend Új bála. as much as both differ in their geographical roots – holland and hungary, respectively, at first glance (or listen), their sound also ventures into different sonic territories. 1080p and pinkman-affiliate betonkust delivers vintage-tinged electronics – most prominently on his -ferenc s escape- – while Új bála digs deeper into the basement and unravels his analogue acid and badass beats. his -the piggy-bank deal- even touches upon oriental flavours. on the other hand, the music on this ep is buoyant and joyful, a welcome antidote to the gloom and doom that s not only been prevalent in the world around us, but also in too much music of the last few years.

for the 9th instalment in dba s dubs series ikonika and big strick square off head to head, following the hyperdub artist s genre-defying distractions lp earlier this year. oral suspension is an instrumental which switches rough-shod between a uk halfstep crunch and a hoop dreams era chicago bounce. on the flip big strick brings his characteristic smooth groove to the table for the remix, which, though laidback, is nevertheless bound to energise the dancers. evading the ubiquitous pigeonholes, ikonika has variously been known for her dubstep innovations, her uk funky experiments on hum and buzz and her post-urban sketches for hyperdub. meanwhile though an interest in techno and specifically the sounds of the midwest have underpinned her work.

a work 12 months in the making, adam beyer continues his exciting series of collaborative eps, teaming up with heavy-hitters pig&dan for an multi-faceted four-tracker. chances are up if you spied adam beyer in an airport departure lounge over the past 12 months, he d have his head buried in his laptop, immersed in creating sound sketches. a long-time fan of collaborations, the drumcode chief has been on an inspiring streak of form lately, teaming up with the likes of mark reeve, dense & pika and now pig&dan. the results have been compelling, to say the least. in trademark perfectionist beyer style, the title track capsule - a shimmering slice of techno - involved -around 15 different versions- the track rigorously road tested by the swede and featured in episodes of drumcode radio to test dancefloor reactions, before finally getting the sign off.

much may have changed over a two-decade period, but drumcodes commitment to releasing the scenes most cutting-edge and refined techno remains resolute.
