Charles D has got the touch right now. Following 'The Bouncer', his blistering collaboration with Space 92, he returns with another slice of peak-time perfection, 'Control'. The New Yorker has become one of the most promising artists to emerge on Drumcode in recent times; from his terrific body of remixes, led by Adam Beyer & Bart Skils 'Your Mind' and Mike Macaluso's 'Final Chapter', to cuts on the label's A-Sides compilation ('Traction' and 'Yantee'), right through to his breakthrough EP release in 2023 'Don't Stop'. With a recent standout collab with Space 92 'The Bouncer' under his belt, you can always rely on the artist to craft captivating, big-moment productions. Host of the popular Synthesized Radio and soon to be launching his own label project KONKRTE, Charles D says the writing process for 'Control' came quickly, with the first ideas coming together on the plane home from an energizing weekend of gigs. 'I'm really inspired by a lot of the new music out there, and wanted to make something that felt peak time, but had some melodic techno and tech house flavor to it. I made several versions of it, but the very first version was the one that made the cut. When I heard Adam play it at Drumsheds and Resistance in Miami and saw the crowd's reaction, I knew not to mess with it too much.' - Charles D 'Control' is a high-octane trip and deliciously dynamic. Framed by the producer's trademark plump basslines and crisp percussion, it makes a statement via a torrent of head-scrambling riffs and effects.Tracklisting:A. Control
