German techno producer Peter Pahn is stepping onto new turf with his debut release on Truesoul, Adam Beyer’s imprint under the Drumcode umbrella. The track, titled ‘LOUDERRR’, marks a significant shift in tone for an artist who has spent the past few years building a formidable reputation through a consistent run of releases on the main Drumcode label.
Pahn’s rise has been steady rather than sudden. His 2023 collaboration with HEERHORST and Teenage Mutants, ‘Dark Clouds’, landed as one of that year’s standout techno cuts, followed by ‘Let the Beat Control Your Body’ in 2024 and ‘Crystal Sky’ last year. Those records established him as a name to watch within the Drumcode roster. With ‘LOUDERRR’, he pivots toward something more melodic and emotionally driven without abandoning the weight that defines his signature sound.
The track leans on silky chords, a Caribbean-tinged vocal hook, and heavy stabs that circle underneath the melody. It is built with festival sets in mind—the kind of record designed for sunset or sunrise slots where a crowd locks in together rather than a peak-time warehouse moment.
“‘LOUDERRR’ is all about energy and emotion,” Pahn said. “The vocal line ‘You’re in my house, I demand that power / Crowd look loud, but I need it louder’ really captures the essence of the track. I wanted to step outside my usual comfort zone and create something that feels bigger, more emotional, and built for those iconic sunset or sunrise moments where the whole crowd becomes one.”
Truesoul has carved out a niche as Drumcode’s more melodic-leaning sister label, and Pahn’s arrival fits that mandate well. The label has become a landing spot for producers looking to explore textures and vocal work that might not sit as naturally on Drumcode’s harder-edged catalog, while still keeping one foot in techno’s dancefloor mechanics.
‘LOUDERRR’ is out now on Truesoul.
