Chainsmoker - The Champion's Bones (2017)

Chainsmoker returns to UKR with an exceptionally strong album that will burn up floors stateside and abroad for days to come. Known for his intense edgy synth sounds layered with tight percussion and futuristic effects, Chainsmoker takes no prisoners here what-so-ever. Encapsulating years of dedication to the techno sound of the underground, Chainsmoker paints a picture of the relentless urban flow of man, machine, darkness, light, motion and energy. From the fat toms in High Score, the raw synths in Hypercube, the menacing snares in Interceptor, the infectious rhythm in The Champion's Bones, the sonic beatdown in Viper Six, the sultry warm synth stabs in Silver Eyes, to the ever-building chords and mesmerizing emotions of Beloved Queen of the Stars, Chainsmoker delivers without a doubt his most prolific release to date. Three legendary remixers join Chainsmoker on The Champion's Bones release. First up is Portugal techno king and DJAX recordings artist DJ Ze MigL who delivers pure quality! What a jacking acid affair this is with its carefully injected hip hop samples and all the bells and whistles done DJ Ze MigL style. Next up is Chicago's techno hero and Relief Recordings artist Jerome Baker who delivers a massive uplifting main-room stormer that screams Carl Cox, and to wrap things up with a bang we've got Chicago techno legend and Ice Box Records and UKR resident DJ Amar who delivers a deep powerful chugger full of melody and dark twists and turns that keeps the listener's mind intrigued and feet movin! This is the quality you would expect from these titans. Bangin and intimidatingly large...that's how we roll here at UKR. Chainsmoker - The Champion's Bones...a prolific album from an influential producer who knows techno and has a sound like no other.
