Out today is Adam Beyer’s latest track, ‘The Distance Between Us‘ ahead of his upcoming album, Explorer Vol. 1, on Drumcode.
Having already closed out huge sets at festivals like Ultra and Drumsheds with the new single, ‘The Distance Between Us’ is probably the most unexpected track on the upcoming new album, laser-kissed with new wave synth lines which deftly contrasts last week’s ‘Hypnotic‘s future-facing ethos.
“The Distance Between Us is my take on indie-electronic. Arpeggiators, synths, 80s melodies, big hooks. Still not sure where it came from creatively, but I love it.”
-Adam Beyer on ‘The Distance Between Us’
The excitement surrounding Beyer’s first album in over 20 years is palpable. Following the LP’s eponymous first single, ‘Explorer‘ which dropped last month, highlights have included the 12,000-person Drumcode party at Drumsheds, a wild Drumcode Pop-up event at an off license in London, while Beyer featured on two billboards in Leicester Square and Stratford to celebrate the album announcement.
Now comes two new tracks. Last week saw the release of ‘Hypnotic,’ a collaboration with Toronto producer HNTR, responsible for the viral techno hit ‘Yes B!itch’ with Danny Avila, and his remix of Cloonee’s ‘Stephanie,’ which both became Beatport no.1 records. ‘Hypnotic’ delivers in spades, a massive vibe-bringer that rolls with crunchy percussion and seductive vocal lines.
“Originally a tech house idea, but I sent it to HNTR, one of the new talents in the Drumcode family, and he turned it into something bigger and bolder. Classic meets future. He’s someone to watch, and it was great to collaborate with him”
