Three titans of electronic music amalgamate to kickstart 2024. Eli Brown & Layton Giordani have dominated the scene over the last year and now mark a special release with not only their first collaboration but a single that brings one of the tsars of the dance floor OFFAIAH to the table for the stunning ‘When I Push’ via the industry’s leading techno label, Drumcode.
Kicking straight into a no-nonsense kick drum ignition that nobody does better – ‘When I Push’ doesn’t shy away from their signature heavy-duty soundscapes with this thudding anthem to kick off a new year in style. Dizzying risers twist and curl around the kick and bass, as ‘When I Push’ teases the unmistakable vocal of OFFAIAH’s hit ‘Push Pull’ before the tornado uplifters pull the trigger on a drop that unleashes a roof-raising melee of razor-sharp synth lines that sway between milliseconds of air into tight ricochets, making a recipe for chaos in the club. The rolling bass is ever-present, whilst still somehow preserving frequency space for a monster kick drum that will rattle warehouses in that unmistakable imprint style.
Following huge years for all on board, with Eli Brown dominating the charts throughout the year, Layton Giordani firmly establishing his spot amongst the elites in techno and OFFAIAH surpassing a billion streams – this triple threat of production heavyweights do it again with ‘When I Push’ already getting hammered by the world’s tastemakers.
“Layton has been one of my favourite producers for some time, so it felt really natural to work on some music together and this record really compliments both our sounds. It was one of the most requested IDs from my set in the Steelyard at Creamfields, so I’m very happy we are releasing this record on Drumcode.” – Eli Brown
“Working together with Eli is always a great experience. We naturally trust each other’s artistry and have nothing but fun when making records. ‘When I Push’ is proof of that.” – Layton Giordani
“Bringing back one of my most in-demand tracks to a new style which has culminated in this release has morphed the original idea into something entirely new and to have Eli and Layton on to bring it this distinctive 2024 Techno vibe has been a fascinating sonic venture.” – OFFAIAH
