A rare treat for Drumcode faithful: A-Sides Vol.10 is set to drop in December, the second edition of the beloved series to come in 2020.

Fuelled by the extra time and space to be creative during lockdown, Drumcode’s collective of artists have stepped up. Across 17 contributions, the producers have gone deeper into their sonic repertoire, crafting powerful, yet reflective works that capture the range of the label’s sound.

Jay Lumen leads the way with a rousing riff-driven weapon, ‘Galactic Rainbow’, while Ramon Tapia brings us the muscular gem ‘Drum Control’, mixing up ruffneck techno with a barrage of synapse-tickling synths in the second half. Both rousing highlights of the compilation.
Victor Ruiz, Drumcode’s most prolific contributor in 2020, dishes up ‘Love Story’, led by a huge vocal lead. Zimmz also returns with ‘Tension’, which deftly combines deep squelchy grooves with a silky synth interlude. Thomas Hoffknecht follows up his debut on Vol.9 with ‘Escape’, keeping listeners on their toes with dynamic, choppy shifts throughout. Veerus joins with another stirring addition ‘I Know’, reinforcing why Beyer rates him so highly.

Elsewhere a string of debutants feature: buzzy newcomer Lilly Palmer gives us ‘Amnesie’, a brilliantly pummelling and eerie cut; Alex Lentini & Stomp Boxx serve up ‘Expanders’ mixing up drone effects, trippy vocals and an unsettling melody line; and Patrik Berg’s ‘Activated’ is full-bodied techno that drops down into funky rhythms.

Long-time DC family member Bart Skils brings his A-game with the thrilling no-nonsense ‘Solid State’ that hits like a steam train. Likewise, Alan Fitzpatrick who brings a momentous slab of techno energy with ‘Rochus’, while Thomas Schumacher, now feeling like a regular on the imprint, crafts another dark techno opus, this time in collaboration with CAITLIN.

There’s even a special appearance by the chief Adam Beyer, who makes a welcome return with the progressive-tinged ‘Changes’, driven by organic tones and spacey atmospherics. The track stands as his first original contribution to A-Sides since 2017.

Emerging Dutch talent Rose Ringed steps into the spotlight with a remarkable new release on Joris Voorn's Spectrum label. Following a series of self-released gems and the well-received 'Never Stop' single, featured on Solomun's Diynamic label, Rose Ringed's journey continues with a stunning two-track offering that showcases his evolving artistic depth and sonic finesse.

Reconciliation, a track that has been a staple in recent sets of Voorn, stands as a poignant testament to the power of forgiveness and moving forward. Through a harmonious blend of orchestral vocals, sweeping strings, and an expansive synth melody, Rose Ringed crafts an emotionally resonant soundscape that invites listeners to let go of the past and embrace a new chapter.

On the flip side, What If delves into the labyrinth of human uncertainty, fear, and hope regarding the future. A hauntingly evocative synth line and dynamic rhythms guide the track's progression, leading to an entrancing breakdown where soaring organ chords provide a moment of introspection. The relentless return of the main synth line, accompanied by rapid-fire snares, culminates in a cinematic crescendo, making it a compelling addition to any arena-worthy playlist.

Rose Ringed's debut on Spectrum not only underscores his talent as a producer but also reaffirms Voorn and Spectrum's dedication to discovering and highlighting fresh voices within the electronic music landscape. With a robust summer of performances already behind him, Rose Ringed is poised to captivate audiences on an even grander scale with his Spectrum debut.

Spectrum is thrilled to welcome back Swiss producer KHAINZ, who follows up his stunning debut release 'The Drift' with another scintillating double offering - 'Complications' and 'The Answer To Everything'.

'Complications' lays the foundation with its low-slung groove and rattling synths as the track prowls the dancefloor. On the flip, KHAINZ delivers 'The Answer To Everything.' A bold statement indeed. Its deep, bubbling bassline provides a strong foundation, while an ascending melody adds an element of anticipation. Sweeping strings rush through, creating an atmospheric and emotional breakdown and as the track unfolds, rolling snares drive the momentum, culminating in a powerful crescendo.

KHAINZ continues to craft some of the finest uplifting and momentous soundtracks of 2023. What comes next? Watch this space.
