Following a successful first volume of the newly launched 'DC4' compilation this summer, Volume 2 arrives featuring four on-point singles from the label's extended family of artists, alongside a string of label debutants. Heerhorst & PETER PAHN return to the fold following their contribution to 'Dark Clouds' with 'Teenage Mutants', a former Beatport number 1 and highlight of 2023 for the label. Continuing the celestial themes 'Crystal Sky' feels like part 2 to 'Dark Sky', a lively electro-tinted record driven by dreamy melody lines and chanting vocals that has plenty of peak-time energy. Italian behemoths Mind Against debut on Drumcode in collaboration with Tharat. 'Cloud' is one of the most interesting releases we've heard on the label in recent times, marked by a head-spinning flurry of stuttering, distorted sounds, all the while maintaining a rolling, intoxicating groove. Rising German artist Kos: mo mints his first release on DC with 'Samsara', a fierce acid techno cut that takes on a life of it's own in the second stanza, equally fit for a film soundtrack as a dancefloor, such is it's dramatic arc. OZBEK & Zafer Atabey are mainstays of the Turkish techno and tech house scene. 'My Culture' is drenched in attitude, a slick slice of punchy dancefloor grit, with a foot in house, techno and electro, driven by a rapped vocal line.
