Premiere: Tripeo and Cadans Collaborate for “Non Perfect Drone Replication” EP

Tripeo and Cadans collaborate to release on Tripeo’s self-titled imprint with three original cuts entitled Non Perfect Drone Replication.

Over the years, Darko Esser aka Tripeo has become a truly respected figure within the techno world. Widely known for helming his acclaimed Wolfskuil Records, BALANS and self-titled label where he’s released an array of his own impressive productions, Darko continues to edge out a corner of the techno sphere through a regular gig and release schedule that’s been of consistent quality for over 20 years. ‘Non Perfect Drone Replication’ marks Tripeo’s first release of the new decade seeing him link up with Dutch producer Cadans who has releases on Clone, Neighbourhood and Hardgroove (when not producing drum and bass as Icicle).

‘Drone’ begins with tense atmospheres and haunting leads underneath the humming percussion and oscillating synths that surge as the track progresses before out premiere for today ‘Non PC’ employs energetic rhythms underneath wavering modulations and spectral tones that keeps this peak-time cut enticing through till the end. To finish, ‘Perfect Replication’ offers up an electro cut that’s peppered with a nostalgic yet modern feel through breaky grooves, alleviating pads and stabbing tones.

About Tripeo: 

A soundtrack for dark cellars and strobe filled clubs, molded from a pure and uncut techno template. That’s what Darko Esser’s Tripeo alter ego is only and all about. His ‘First Trip’ debut at the end of 2012 took the techno scene by storm and received massive support from key figures around the globe. Now that the dust has started to settle down, it has become clear that Tripeo is here to stay.

2013 sees him unleash a relentless releaseschedule including releases & remixes on Theory, BALANS, Pole Group, Deep Sound Channel as well as 4 new vinyl only Trips on his selftitled imprint. Tripeo is a force to be reckoned with on stage as well, as he proved in his machine funk driven liveshows as well as tireless, hypnotic DJ-sets in some of the finest clubs & festivals around.

About Cadans:
Of Dutch origin, London resident Jeroen Snik has had a decade long dance music career, touring the world and gracing different genres. Cadans is his very private vessel for exploring anything techno related as that has always been a genre dear to his heart. Cadans’ dark organic and grooving output is drip fed to the public through sparse releases, having put out widely supported music with Balans and Clone Basement in the past. Now, all of a sudden, there seem to be a few more releases on the horizon and the Cadans project is due to take on a little weight.

Tracklist:

1. Drone
2. Non PC
3. Perfect Replication

Tripeo and Cadans ‘Non Perfect Drone Replication’ is out via Tripeo on 28th February 2020
