Drumcode’s DC Ltd series is home to the seminal label’s more underground material. An outlet for the type of unfussy, primal music that has always been the underlying foundation of techno, but separated from the main brand in a way that is meant to highlight the continued importance of the true underground within a techno scene that has become less defined by it’s roots and more concerned with commercial success. Releasing infrequently and only available on limited edition vinyl, DC Ltd will feature contributions from Drumcode’s roster of artists alongside new signings and re-issues of never-before-on-vinyl Drumcode tracks.
For the next installment in the DC Ltd series, Drumcode present a three-track EP from the Spanish pairing of Psyk and Alberto Pascual; both increasingly familiar names on the circuit thanks to their work for Plus 8, Figure, AnalyticTrail and Sleaze. ‘Ascent’ leads off the EP with what is sure to prove to be a popular combination of upbeat old-school keys and resolute marching beats. ‘Descent’ switches things up, treading heavily through a melancholic soundscape of mechanical stabs and harmonic pads. Finally, ‘Permanent’ dishes up a solid rhythm track interspersed with distinct rising tones phasing in and out of the mix.

A. Ascent
