Adam Beyer x Layton Giordani
Awakenings x Drumcode ADE 2023
Welcome to Drumcode anonymous, where lads in identical black t-shirts nod aggressively at each other while discussing the exact frequency of a kick drum. If you haven't been asked "what's the track ID, bro?" by a sweaty man chewing his own jaw off, are you even at ADE? The cavernous mega-structure of Awakenings x Drumcode ADE 2023 was a dystopian rave paradise, flooded with strobes, piercing lasers, and a sea of pumping fists. Cracking open the Adam Beyer x Layton Giordani Awakenings x Drumcode ADE 2023 tracklist, you get a PhD in mainstage Techno mechanics. Pushing a relentless average of 136.9 BPM, the duo hammers through 12A and 6A Camelot keys to keep the tension at a boiling point.
The energy arc is pure, unadulterated peak-time aggression, heavy on the low-end rumble with razor-sharp high hats. Their back-to-back mixing is a relentless onslaught of perfectly timed double-drops. The track selection is a mad collection of warehouse destroyers. Flexing Layton's own "New Generation (Space 92 Remix)" alongside unreleased Drumcode artillery like HUJUS's "Right Back" keeps the anoraks happy.
It’s exactly the kind of proper heavy-lifting you expect from these two. This Adam Beyer x Layton Giordani live set is a high-speed train with no brakes. Blasting off with the opening track "Intro" by Profetnyc, they drag the crowd through the mud before hitting an absolute peak with DANNY AVILA's "My Crew" featuring Flowdan. They finally show a tiny bit of mercy with the closing track "Reasons to Love You" by Nicole Moudaber, wrapping up absolute scenes.
