When two techno heavyweights unite, the dancefloor is guaranteed a seismic jolt — and that’s exactly what “Alto,” the latest collaboration between Adam Beyer and Layton Giordani, delivers. Released on Drumcode, the label synonymous with peak-time, driving techno, this track packs a precise 129 bpm punch that keeps the energy flowing relentlessly.
Adam Beyer, the founder of Drumcode, has been a defining figure in techno for over two decades. His label isn’t just a platform but a movement, heralded as one of the most influential and highest-selling techno imprints globally. Beyer’s vision blends uncompromising quality with a forward-thinking approach, fueling a weekly radio show that reaches millions and powering a global network of festivals and events.
Layton Giordani, an equally formidable force, has carved out a reputation for his high-energy sets and productions. Known for his seamless blend of relentless grooves and impeccable sound design, Giordani’s style perfectly complements Beyer’s.
“Alto” is a prime example of peak-time, driving techno. From the first beat, it locks into a hypnotic rhythm layered with crisp percussion, industrial textures, and an infectious groove that builds tension without ever losing momentum. The production quality is impeccable — a hallmark of Drumcode — where every element is finely tuned to command the dancefloor.
The track’s minimalistic yet powerful approach is designed for maximum impact in festival mainrooms and late-night club environments. It’s the kind of track that will grip the crowd with its pulsating bassline and clever rhythmic interplay, showcasing both artists’ mastery of the genre.
