Drumcode welcomes another debutant to the label, with Metodi Hristov‘s stunning Build to Destroy EP. The Bulgarian DJ/producer has been building a solid body of work stretching back a decade. Those include quality drops on labels like Terminal M, Octopus, and Filth on Acid. It’s no wonder he finally made it onto Adam Beyer’s radar. In turn, Hristov finally gets to see his chance at a release on Drumcode.
The EP leads with ‘Flatline’, a sexy techno track with bags of groove and charisma. From the start, it is driven by dreamy synth lines and an arresting vocal, while balancing silky and punchy elements with a deft ease. Next, ‘Build to Destroy’ is a bulldozing beauty that kickstarts with plenty of low-end energy. Then, it moves into a succession of atmosphere-laden bass stabs and effects of varying rhythms and intensity. It’s a dynamic cut that repeatedly piques your interest to the end. This is a solid addition to the Drumcode discography.
What’s more, Bart Skils liked the tracks so much that he even linked Hristov to Beyer immediately!
It was a beautiful moment when Adam wrote to me and asked if I’d like to release them on DC. My head was in the clouds and I will always be grateful to Bart for what he has done for me.
I’ve always wanted to release on Drumcode, but it was not a fixed plan till October last year when I fully embraced the idea and nailed it with my heart and mind. I ended up in a long three-month studio session from which I extracted some of the best productions I’ve made in my career
