Over the years everyone from Marco Carola, Nicole Moudaber, Sam Paganini, Maceo Plex and many more have released on the label. Additionally, Drumcode has played a pivotal role in launching the careers of Joseph Capriati and Alan Fitzpatrick, plus more recently exciting rising stars Enrico Sangiuliano, Layton Giordani and Wehbba.
Drumcode’s output as an events brand has seen them partner with LWE to stage the award-winning Junction 2 festival in London, of which Beyer is the creative director. Hosting stages everywhere from Tomorrowland, EDC and Awakenings has further reinforced the brand’s phenomenal following. The second annual Drumcode Festival occurred across two days in Amsterdam in 2019 and 2021 see's the series expanded, with Drumcode Festival landing in Malta.
Beyer’s ability to connected directly with fans has been crucial to developing Drumcode’s special relationship with the grassroots techno community. Each week Drumcode Radio Live showcases club sets and studio mixes from both the Swedish label boss and its stable of artists with a listenership of 22 million people beamed to 85 stations worldwide. Its success is a cultural phenomenon and sees the podcasts stand as a lifestyle companion for many.
