Adam Beyer's Drumcode has released 30 Years of Drumcode, a 20-track compilation built from its own back catalog. For volume one, Beyer asked the label's artists to rework 14 Drumcode records, and volume two adds six remixes.
Beyer started Drumcode in Stockholm in 1996 as a small DIY label, and it has grown into one of the biggest names in techno, with Drumcode Radio and branded events across Europe and North and South America. The anniversary year has already brought Beyer and KASIA's reworks of Faithless classics "We Come 1" and "Tarantula" in September, a Drumcode Mallorca celebration in May, and a 30 Years of Drumcode panel at Amsterdam Dance Event last month.
Some of the picks go back a long way. Joel Mull revisits "Rimson" from 2012, Nicole Moudaber updates "I Know Where I've Been" from 2014, and Amelie Lens returns to "In Silence," her 2017 Drumcode debut. Charles D's new version of "Traction (The Way We Used To Do It)" is credited with the late Cevin Fisher, who died last month. The remix side closes with Jesper Dahlbäck on "DC01 Pt. 1," from the label's first record by Beyer and Lenk.
