A memorable Drumcode debut lands from Teenage Mutants, in collaboration with Heehorst and Peter Pahn, as 'Dark Clouds' lights up the sky. Collectively, the artists bring a strong pedigree to the table, having released on Terminal M, Filth on Acid and 1605 Music Therapy. An anthem in every sense, 'Dark Clouds' already has the makings of one of Drumcode's biggest tracks of the year having highlighted events including Printworks, Awakenings at the Gashouder during ADE week and Resistance Abu Dhabi thanks to it's thrilling dramaturgy that combines a stirring vocal line, thundering underbelly of acid and laser-focused b-line.In the age of viral sensations and fast rising superstars, UMEK shines, a testament to hard graft, talent and playing the long game. We're thrilled to have him on the label for his Drumcode debut.The track is a rhythmic peak-time beast, highlighting Time Warp and Exchange in LA in recent times. It also saw the artist experiment with AI to create the heady vocal line. 'There's still a lot of work in the post-production process, but it's certainly an interesting time when you can make use of these tools,' he shares.
