In an exclusive interview, Oscar Escapa and Linear Phase shed light on the genesis of their collaboration and the creative process behind 'Recoded'.

"We always got together to hang out and work, and magic arose," he remarks.
As Linear Phase explains, their artistic visions seamlessly merge: "We merge our ways of working... from that union, we manage to unite two very different styles always very focused on the dance floor." This synergy is evident in each track, where hardware meets software and commercial meets underground, resulting in a harmonious blend that defies genre boundaries.
Navigating the distinct techno identity of Drumcode, the duo credits label head Adam Beyer for allowing them to showcase their work. Linear Phase remarks, "We didn't know if it would fit, but from here, we thank Adam Beyer for giving us the opportunity." Their ability to blend their unique styles while staying true to the label's sonic signature speaks volumes about their versatility and creativity.
Despite the challenges collaborations often present, Oscar Escapa and Linear Phase found their synergy to be effortless. "The truth is that we didn't have any problems since we let ourselves go, and everything came out naturally," Oscar Escapa shares. Their shared history and mutual respect laid the foundation for a seamless creative process.
'Recoded' isn't just another EP; it's a testament to techno's evolution, honouring its roots while pushing boundaries. Oscar Escapa reflects, "We are from the old generations, so we have lived the old school and these new generations, and we like to experiment to try to merge both eras." The EP offers a diverse range of tracks, carefully curated to showcase both artists' styles while inviting listeners on a sonic exploration.
Looking ahead, Oscar Escapa and Linear Phase have plans to stay strong.
