Four tracks of techno variations via Drumcode

Adam Beyer continues his series of collaborative EPs with the next installment titled ‘Capsule’, featuring four collaborations with Pig&Dan.

A release that is literally 12 months in the making, the collection of tracks found on ‘Capsule’ touch on a variety of techno motifs, from the heaving hitting big room sound and gritty percussive arrangements to more catchy melodic synth work and classic vocal hooks.

Beyer revealed a bit about with it was like working with Pig the vision behind the material on the forthcoming release: “If you listen to the track ‘We Are E’, that’s very UK rave inspired. That’s common ground we both have, as I was heavily into D&B and jungle. We spent a lot of time talking about old records and samples. It was fun finding out we share similar interests.”

The Drumcode boss has been on a hot streak of collabs recently. The ‘Capsule’ EP with Pig&Dan follows released produced in partnership with Mark Reeve and Dense & Pika, both of which were received warmly by critics and fans alike.

The ‘Capsule’ EP by Adam Beyer VS Pig&Dan is set for release on March 20 via Drumcode.
