Format: 12 Inch Barcode: 5057272274726 A1 - Park People B1 - No Defeat No Retreat The Drumcode founder is measured when it comes to signing music to his own imprint, biding his time till the stars align. His last individual outing was 2015â„¢s ËœStone Flowerâ„¢ EP, which included the thrilling label favorite ËœWhat You Needâ„¢. A succession of classy collaborations followed, linking with DCâ„¢s most vital artists highlighted by ËœYour Mindâ„¢ with Bart Skils, proclaimed one of the best tracks of the last decade by Mixmag. An EP that gives a nod to uncertain times, while remaining resolutely positive, ËœNo Defeat No Retreatâ„¢ was written during Beyerâ„¢s fruitful production sessions during lock down. The opening track, ËœPark Peopleâ„¢ sets the pace with an energetic, 80â„¢s nu wave creating the trackâ„¢s spine. Its hypnotic energy stems from a powerful synth riff and vocal sample culminating in a skillfully balanced track that neatly combines the old with the new. The title track is a study in contrasts, deftly crafting a muted, nagging vocal hook and infectious bass line into a slice of forward-facing, edgy techno. With its subtle, undulating layers of melody building in the background, it ushers in an understated sense of euphoria, making it a perfect end-of-set mood-maker. A thrilling return!
