After more than two decades, Adam Beyer returns with Explorer Vol. 1—a long-anticipated full-length album that lands as both a reflection and a reset. Known for steering the global techno movement with Drumcode, Beyer’s new project takes a step beyond peak-time bangers and dives into a broader palette: melodic techno, breakbeats, Afro-tinged rhythms, even flashes of indie-electronica.
Built from the lessons of a shelved pandemic-era album, Explorer Vol. 1 balances cinematic textures with dancefloor drive. Collaborations with Coco Francavilla, Layton Giordani, Chris Avantgarde, HNTR, and Julian Jeweil push the sonic scope while Beyer’s signature intensity remains intact. This isn’t just a techno album—it’s a personal checkpoint in a career that’s still evolving.
We’re excited to review this one on Music is 4 Lovers. Adam’s journey continues, and Explorer marks a bold new chapter.
‘Explorer‘ is out 7/11!
