"It's not an easy thing to do over a 15 year period—to 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 world's 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 techno's 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 label's classic tracks. Instead, the 28-track compilation showcases only the newest and most exciting work of Drumcode's 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 Drumcode's sound.
