Galactic Highways on Drumcode
“A journey through hard, club-ready techno that culminates in layered melodies”
ANNA drops a triple dose of heat to mark her first EP on Drumcode. ANNA first debuted on Drumcode with the irresistible groover ‘Portable Paradise’, which highlighted last year’s A-Sides Vol. 7 and set up a busy year playing DC events in 2019. There was the memorable morning set at Space during WMC, two fiery gigs at Drumcode Festival and typically strong performances at the DC takeover at Resistance in Ibiza and Sonar. Fresh from her gargantuan collaboration with Kittin ‘Forever Ravers’, she steps up for a maiden EP on Adam Beyer’s flagship label.
“ANNA maintains the purity and raw grit of her techno creations, solidifying craft with quality”
‘Galactic Highways’ is propelled by an arresting peak-time riff and bombastic drums and was a storming addition to Beyer’s set at Drumcode Halloween recently. ‘Dimensions’ is the powerful brain scrambler, as a blistering wall of acid rubs shoulders with undulating bass notes for a dramatic finish. ‘Phase Two’ is a stirring, pad-laden beauty, driven by lustrous melody lines that cascade over the Brazilian’s punchy percussion.
It took a while for us to find the right tracks for my first EP, I wanted to do 3 club tracks, but I want it to have everything, to make the EP more like a journey with tracks for different moments of the night.
It’s a dream come true to collaborate on a project together now with Adam and have my own music released on his label after so many years of playing Drumcode tracks.
