Alex Stein is the latest artist to step up for his debut Drumcode EP, following a stellar contribution to 'A-Sides Vol.12'. The Lisbon-based Brazilian artist has been a lock for stunning techno production stretching back over 10 years, with quality drops on labels including Terminal M and Tronic. Last year he tightened his relationship with the DC crew, playing Drumcode events at Uebel & Gefahrlich in Hamburg and the Blue Tree Songkran festival in Thailand, before a release debut on A-Sides Vol.12 with the excellent 'Hydra'. Few could disagree: his debut EP on Adam Beyer's label feels richly deserved. 'The Chant' EP is a powerful triumvirate of cuts. The title track is a transcendental gem, led by a rousing vocal and psy elements, without losing any dancefloor punch. 'Rush' begins life as a rugged slice of techno, before a dark melodic underbelly finds it's laser-kissed feet and propels the track into peak-time territory. 'Tantra' takes the baton, with a foot in pummeling bass-driven techno and Goa-trance alike, elevated by an evocative vocal.
