Drumcode launches a new V/A series “DC4” inspired by their popular A-Sides compilations. “DC4” showcases a quartet of sure-fire heaters from the label’s extended family of artists. The EP features two mainstays of Drumcode, Timmo and Mark Reeve, while fleshing out the techno sides of Kaufmann and Goom Gum (in collaboration with rising London artists RDNK) after they debuted on Truesoul in recent times.
Kaufmann’s curiously titled “Broncho’s Sandman” kicks things off, a punchy slice of dance floor tackle marked by a catchy vocal line, with a foot in techno and progressive alike. Timmo follows up last year’s tidy contribution to A-Sides Vol.13, with a technicolored techno cut that bubbles with bags of personality, as any cut titled “Miami Vice” should. The Bulgarian has poured plenty of hours into the creation of the track, whichespouses an otherworldly celestial energy.
It’s been four years since Mark Reeve’s last contribution on Drumcode, with the excellent mini album “Breathe.” The Frankfurt-based British producer makes a timely return with the storming “Stop, Go,” that fuses together elements of techno, hard trance and pop for an inspired five minute dancebfloor workout.
Goom Gum & RDNK team up for the first time “It’s Time To Get High.” The track begins life as a crisp melodic cut, before transforming into a trippy slab of psychedelia in the second half.
