A firm Drumcode favourite, Mark Reeve is back with his latest techno opus.

Weaving his vitalising, biting techno through the seminal imprint since 2012, Reeve has since become a permanent fixture within Adam Beyer's camp. He saw demand for his knockout 'Run Back' EP being matched and surpassed by his 'Far Away' EP. Staunch DC fans will also be familiar with Reeve's output on the label's A-Sides compilation series, and clubbers hot on the tails of Drumcode events will have caught him centre stage across a string of showcases, including the inaugural Drumcode Festival.

Reeve's music invariably endorses an arresting sonic aesthetic, with intense melodies often driving in those eye-closing moments. The title track 'Distance' is an atmospheric opening gambit set to sonically massage the senses with uplifting pads and a radiant melody. 'Serum', a track recently road-tested by Beyer at a special event in collaboration with Cercle, soars and captivates as it progresses with a low-end rumble and intricate keys. 'Fix Me' is a vigorous techno workout that's intent on energising a clubroom rammed with sweat-soaked dancers. Closing off the EP, 'Filmwave' rides a killer groove into a pit of punchy, powerful kick.[info sheet from distr.]
