Drumcode Releases

[Janeen Bahrke]

Drumcodeboss and techno don Adam Beyer has dominated the underground scene for over 25 years. His releases, remixes, and reputation as a DJ, as well as his label, are familiar to almost every techno fan.

Drumcode has grown to become an institution in the global techno scene, encompassing a radio program, an event series, and a home for the musical vision of its artists. But how much do we know about the history of the biggest techno label and the tracks that shaped both Drumcode and techno sound itself?

Drumcode Records is a Swedish Techno label managed by Adam Beyer. The label was founded in 1996 and has enjoyed a streak of success in its releases, talent scouting, radio efforts, and general international label camaraderie[citation needed] ever since. Originally a Techno Label, recent years have seen a shift to more progressive Trance and EDM styles amongst artists being released. Its roots are in its native Scandinavia, originally only housing Swedish producers, but in the label's history it has since branched out to working with those whose sound fit the profile, rather than whose nationality aligns best.[1]
