Premiere: Adam Beyer vs Dense & Pika is the ultimate clash of the titans

The Drumcode boss teams up with the UK duo

It wouldn't be a surprise to find out that Adam Beyer has had a huge year because Adam Beyer always has a huge year. The last 12 months however have been particularly fruitful for the Swedish powerhouse.

Drumcode has become one of the most popular labels in the world and it celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2016. Artists like Enrico Sanguiliano and Marco Faraone have stepped up to release some of the biggest tracks of the year and with Drumcode Radio show heard by 17 million listeners a week across 82 stations worldwide, the only way is up.

His next release sees him team up with a UK duo who are well-versed in the gritty, hard-hitting techno sound and Beyer vs Dense & Pika is a true clash of the titans.

Talking about the duo, Adam was full of praise: "I’ve always liked collaborations – they brings out the best in me. I’m also a big fan of Dense & Pika’s raw sound, so this worked well. Chris and Alex are great to produce with and are really clear with their vision when they make music."

'Going Down' is the final product and if you've been to see Beyer or any of the Drumcode artists recently, you'll have no doubt lost your shit to this one. A venomous, pounding beast that's going to send you into guaranteed meltdown.

‘Going Down’ will be released on December 12 via Drumcode
