Black Codes are back doing what they do best – heavy hitting, underground techno bombs, built for big rooms and bigger soundsystems. Takaaki Itoh – Endorsed The Japanese techno producer hits with an industrial powerhouse full of sonar bleeps that drift in and out of time, perfect to spin the heads of any unsuspecting dancers. P.E.A.R.L. – Regrets A monstrous and menacing pounder from P.E.A.R.L. melding huge kicks, modulated arps and crisp hats that cut right through. Rattling, distorted, heads down goodness that will shake the walls from start to finish. Cristian Varela – Variable Black Codes Experiments co-captain and one of Spain’s techno stars, Cristian Varela follows suit for the B1, ‘Variable’. Swirling pulses and analogue synths mix with crashing rides that pan from side to side, engulfing everything around them. Ian Axide – Envelope Alongside Christian, Ian Axide completes the Black Codes HQ masterminding. For the final slot Ian unleashes ‘Envelope’, a no-holds-barred weapon, bursting with unbounding energy, heavy low end and precision percussion - a fitting closer that’s full of the Axide touch.
