Adam Beyer keeps the techno fire burning with his latest EP, Do It For The Bass, out now on Drumcode. This two-track release showcases his signature evolution, blending powerful techno foundations with EBM influences for an electrifying result. The EP lands between Beyer’s upcoming remix of Romina Dez and Muter’s Fascination (out January 17th on Tronic) and a huge run of 2025 live dates, including Drumcode London at Drumsheds on March 22nd, plus major slots at Time Warp and Kappa Futurfestival. The title track, Do It For The Bass, is pure, high-energy techno. A relentless kick drum anchors the groove, while a crisp hi-hat shuffle drives momentum. A two-note siren-like riff builds with intensity, soaking in distortion and reverb before a robotic female vocal takes over, delivering an infectious, hypnotic chant. As the track progresses, the low-end weight deepens, creating a visceral, body-shaking impact. Circus Freaks dives even deeper, built on a cavernous bassline and an eerie, voice-like synth motif that feels both futuristic and unsettling. The tension mounts as a processed male vocal cuts through, leading into a reverb-drenched drop spiced with high-pitched melodies and fragmented patterns. The result is a dystopian, mind-warping experience that locks listeners in from start to finish. Beyer continues to push the boundaries of his sound while keeping his foot firmly on the dancefloor. Do It For The Bass is out now on Drumcode. Get it here: https://drumcode.ffm.to/dc322.

Los Angeles-based artist BL SUEDE and his trailblazing label, Purple Love Records, announce the release of a groundbreaking addition to their imprint dedicated to elevating soulful house music. Featuring a stellar remix by Liberian-born DJ and creative powerhouse Val Fleury, this release reimagines BL SUEDE’s visionary track "Love Warrior" and furthers the mission of the House of West Project. We had the pleasure of Val Fleury and BL SUEDE sharing some of the music that has shaped the artists they are today. Val Fleury's Hot Picks: Amadou & Mariam - Bofou Safou (Henrik Schwarz Remix) Amadou & Mariam are legends—basically, every West African's aunty and unc. Their music has been a part of my life since childhood. Henrik’s flip takes this beloved track to a whole new level! Dennis Ferrer - Hey Hey (Da Capo & Kitty Amor Extended Remix) Da Capo and Kitty Amor took this seminal Dennis Ferrer banger and gave it even more bite! Pure goodness. And big love to the vocalist, Shingai—that voice and her vibe are everything. Val Fleury - Ride On Time This one’s Afrowarehouse in full effect. An electronic underbelly paired with a West African groove—made to make you move. Remixes are on the horizon! BL SUEDE's Hot Picks: Errol Bangz - Dog’s World This West Coast flip takes a funk-era classic and transforms it into a house banger that always gets the dance floor jumping whenever I spin it. It’s crafted by my LA fam, the up-and-coming DJ/producer Errol Bangz from the Noyz N the Hood crew. This track will always turn heads and move bodies, and never fails. Damian Lazarus feat Fink - Sunrise Generation I'm consistently blown away by the soulful, magical musical genius of Damian Lazarus. His track 'Vermillion' from a decade ago helped shape my vision for my sound in dance-electronic music. This latest track from his new album is a sonic masterpiece, with Fink's vocals hitting the mark perfectly. A solid 5 stars! Eli Fola, BL SUEDE - Reach Out 'Reach Out' resonates deeply with the times we're living in and feels like my personal redemption song, interlaced with the classic refrain from Diana Ross’s “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand,” a regular closing song at the church I grew up in. I joined forces with the incredibly talented DJ, producer, and saxophonist Eli Fola to co-produce this track for Tech Afrique. I laid down the vocals, adding that extra layer of soul. I would say that this is one of my most epic records to date, but stay tuned because Eli and I have even more collaborations on the horizon. You can catch BL SUEDE play METASONIC LIVE in Los Angeles 01st February 2025 here.
