Founded in 1996 and managed by Adam Beyer, Drumcode is a Swedish label that initially released only Swedish techno producers before expanding internationally. In 2006, it expanded globally and shifted toward minimal techno; by 2013, it had opened to progressive and tech house releases. The label later moved raw techno to its sublabel DCLTD and gravitated toward melodic, trance-influenced dance music. Drumcode Records operates sublabels including A-Sides, DCLTD, Gainlane, and The Remixes.
