Desert Queen' stands as Adam Beyer's fourth original release of the year, making 2023 one of the most prolific of his career. The boss has set the standard in 2023, with a string of first-rate EPs and singles highlighting the year. From the 'Legend', to 'Simulator' with Green Velvet, and more recently the excellent AI-referencing 'Robotic Arms' which dropped in August, he's been on an inspired run of form. Next up is 'Desert Queen', a momentous cut only finished in late September that mixes up formidable bass tones, a celestial chord-driven melody and a striking vocal effect utilising a re-sung vox from the iconic Israeli singer Orfa Haza. This is large in every sense. We can't wait to see it light up the Gashouder during the massive Drumcode x Awakenings party at ADE.'Soulful' delivers on it's promise, a richly satisfying jam imbued with bags of warmth and groove that's primed for a variety of dancefloor scenarios.
