Layton Giordani has returned to Drumcode for the first time since early 2025, teaming up with rising producer, KASIA. Together they’ve crafted ‘The Realm,’ which featured in Giordani’s lauded Essential Mix and utilizes the famous 1992 acapella from C’hantal. It’s a genre-blurring cut that pulls from house, progressive, and techno, pairing driving grooves with a satisfying sense of tension and release.
“‘The Realm’ is a classic vocal every house and techno DJ knows. It’s an honor to get the stamp of approval and make an official revision of it for Drumcode with KASIA.”
-Layton Giordani
Giordani has been on a roll in 2026, launching his new MADMINDS imprint, earning a mainstage slot at EDC, and delivering a well-deserved debut on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix. ‘The Realm’ also marks his first Drumcode release since teaming up with Bart Skils on ‘Deadly Valentine’ in February 2025.
KASIA has been just as busy, becoming one of Drumcode’s most consistent artists in recent years. Following 2026 releases like ‘Simulate’ and ‘Let’s Get It’ with KAF3R, she also made a standout appearance at Drumcode Mallorca.
With both artists carrying plenty of momentum into the second half of 2026, ‘The Realm’ feels like a natural next step. The collaboration blends Giordani’s signature driving energy with KASIA’s melodic touch, making it an easy addition to any house or techno playlist.
