Unyielding in their commitment to originality, eclecticism and tradition, the album will feature an array of brand new Pig&Dan productions, alongside a selection of new ‘2022 versions’ of some of the duo’s most celebrated anthems from the last two decades.
Speaking about the twentieth-anniversary project Pig&Dan commented:
“It’s almost hard to take in that we are already celebrating a 20-year milestone of producing and performing together. To mark this epic pillar in our musical career, we’ve produced a 20-track Techno long-player where we’ve devoted ourselves to pushing our envelope and blurring the lines of genre. The project features an array of fresh unreleased productions that hold a sound we hope represents our progression over the last two decades. We’ve also included a cheeky selection of new, updated 2022 versions of some of our more celebrated productions from over the last 20 years of musical madness. For us, this is more of a statement than an album, hence the fact there’s a track that represents every year on this journey.”
To mark the album announcement, Pig&Dan today released the first four tracks from the album, with “20 Years: Pig&Dan – Sampler 1’”
Known for their experimental soundscapes and eclectic atmospheres, Pig&Dan’s underground treatment across the four-track package is wonderfully hypnotic and staggeringly diverse. Kicking off proceedings, “Hope” is an exceptional techno cut that strikes the perfect chord between old-school dancefloor energy and cutting-edge production values, as ravey piano stabs and relentless rhythms conjure an instantly timeless feel.
The second track on the player, “Get Closer To Me’” is a propulsive minimal weapon built around intricate drum patterns and retro vocal samples, which ebb and flow across its impressive four-and-a-half minute duration.
Entering the second half of the package, “Basement” is another paired-back beast that builds in complexity throughout, whilst the closing track, “When The Lyon Awakens”, sees Pig&Dan mix things up with a dubbed out breakbeat juggernaut, that captivates from the off.
