Two Drumcode mainstays, Layton Giordani & Bart Skils, join forces on rapturous but dark-edged techno thriller 'Deadly Valentine'. Skils is globally renowned for his chart-invading take-no-prisoners techno. The Dutch producer's last release on Beyer's imprint was the 2024 'Sakura' EP comprising collaborations with SUDO and Drunken Kong. Giordani, also a chart topper, at the forefront of an exciting new genre-bending sound, combines influences of melodic house, progressive, and indie dance with techno. His last DC outing was a recent rework of the seminal 'Let's Go Dancing' from Tiga and Audion, and the otherworldly but peak time 'Freaks At Night' single last June. The duo have a history of playing B2B at massive events like Drumcode, Loveland and Awakenings. This is their first collaborative standalone single (their 'Midnight Magic' was on Layton's 2020 Drumcode LP). 'I was listening to Spotify and going through an indie dance rabbit hole' Layton says. 'I stumbled upon this track, was instantly hooked, and knew Bart was the right guy to collaborate with on this record.' 'Layton sent me the vocal idea and I turned it into an arrangement with a rolling groove' Bart says. 'After that the track was updated several times and mixed with a new vocalist for release.' 'Deadly Valentine': complex, steady percussion with insistent techno beat gives a dark questioning edge to the high, sweet vocal, fast, echoing, often layered or harmonizing with itself, singing the apparently romantic wedding ceremony lyrics in French & English.Tracklisting:A.
