Part of the surprisingly fertile Swedish techno scene led by the pornophile savants at Svek Records, producer and DJ Adam Beyer concentrates on percussion to a large degree for his appropriately named Drumcodes imprint. Begun in mid-1996, the label released a dozen records during the next two years, half by Beyer himself, with others featuring Cari Lekebusch, Oliver Ho and Thomas Krome. Beyer's first album Decoded was released on Planet Rhythm in late 1996, and the remix album Recoded followed one year later. Another label run by Beyer, Code Red, has released productions by himself, Lekebusch, Krome and Joel Mull. As well, he has recorded for Svek as Concealed Project. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
