The newest Blank Code recruit is Decoder with his ‘Distant Beings’ EP, a fellow American from Dallas who has gained many devoted supporters from having releases on Jeff Mills’ Axis Records, Amotik Records, TWR72’s Float, Edit Select Records, Molecular Recordings, and Science Cult, amongst others.
Beginning with “Missing Sector,” a dystopian and airy soundscape of captivating rattlesnake hisses and muted tones of melody and suspense amidst a stuttering kick pattern.
“Strange Interaction” follows with an abstract approach overall, but using a solid, rhythmic beat as a pulsing constant. Static crackles create mesmerising textures and light tom drums are met with wandering waves of analogue whispers and skipping hats.
“Farther” introduces deep and looping modular frequencies that dance around in a sci-fi aesthetic. This sublimely hypnotic track has an ethereal quality of patience and draws influence from dubby and atmospheric styling.
Finishing with “Elevation,” it instantly has an experimental vibe that seems mysterious and menacing. Cyclical mid tones create a sonic suction before phasing pulses add even more tension to this esoteric adventure.

The enigmatic Myles Sergé is a low flying techno producer, hard working label head and old school DJ, however he prefers the term ‘reclusive perfectionist’. Originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, Myles experienced a temporary sojourn to the beachside of the the UK’s Brighton before relocating to Berlin. In some respects the American’s music bypasses the melodic classicalism of Detroit for a stripped-back European take on techno, though the mettlesome machine- funk of his raw style, and rough and ready prowess behind the decks, is never too far from the outer-regions of the US’ motorcity he calls home.
As a regular guest at Tresor, with no stranger to bookings at Berlin’s Berghain, Griessmuehle and ://about blank, to his residency at Steevio’s Freerotation festival in Wales, Myles is a shining example of how one can traverse the European-American transatlantic divide. With a belt of labels under his control – (MS), Re-Form, Dosed and Space – Myles has since moved on to count the likes of NYC’s Thema, The Zenker Brother’s Ilian Tape and Dan Curtin’s Metamorphic imprints as home for his music. Never one to boast, Myles Sergé Clark’s revised approach to the warehouse techno of his recent mixes and DJ sets keeps the quality underground.

Blank Code’s BCR013 release, featuring Drumcell and Luis Flores, delivers a compelling techno experience that is both captivating and intense. The EP features two original tracks, “Stuck In My Mind” and “Milk Daze,” along with remixes of the title track by Anthony Jimenez and Truncate.
“Stuck In My Mind” sets the tone with its hypnotic rhythms and pulsating basslines. The track’s intricate layers create a deep and immersive sonic landscape that draws listeners in from the start. “Milk Daze” takes the intensity up a notch with its relentless groove and thumping kicks, showcasing the artists’ mastery of tension and release.
