After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam’s stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo’s that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks each, consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode’s core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Title: Softcore
Cat. Number: IT027
Format: Digital & Physical 
Release date: December 13, 2013

Tracklist:
1. (A1) Softcore
2. (A2) The Dangers With Strangers 
3. (B1) Softcore (Dubspeeka Remix) 
4. (B2) Softcore (Chloé Remix)

Returning to Items & Things with his first solo EP for the label since October 2011ʼs “VoodooVoodoo”, label head Troy Pierce presents “Softcore”, a four track EP featuring two original productions alongside remixes of title track “Softcore” from Bristol-based producer Dubspeeka and French DJ/producer Chloé.

A pioneer of the darker side of electronic experimentation, Troy’s A-side “Softcore” is anything but: a haunting, chugging peak-time production with a music DNA consisting of twisted strands of EBM, techno, and industrial, with a hint of dub thrown in for good measure. B-side “The Dangers With Strangers” is an equally powerful effort; its depraved machine funk and distorted tales of strangers provide a visceral exploration into the depths of hedonism.

Having debuted with a release on Oliver Huntemannʼs Ideal Audio label, elusive Bristol producer Dubspeeka (perhaps more famously known as one part of British group Kosheen) delivers a stripped down yet driven interpretation of Troy’s original, reinforcing the reasons why his productions have been exciting a number of the techno elite over the past year. Chloé - a recent addition to the Items & Things Booking Agency - needs little introduction. Typically poised between genres and aesthetics, the Kill The DJ founder and ex-Pulp resident rounds off proceedings with a remix that is as atmospheric as it is club-suitable, a reflection of her unique eclecticism that couldn’t be more at home than with Items & Things.

Around this time last year the German producers dropped one of our most popular mixes of 2013, showcasing their trademark style which effortlessly bridges the gap between techno and tech-house.

Their latest EP 'Line Of Fire' will be released on Beatport on November 10 and it's more of the excellent same from the pair. The three-tracker contains a cut called 'Right On Track' and this a prime example of the sort of rollers Booka Shade are capable of creating.

You can expect big basslines, prolonged builds and drops that are guaranteed to inspire a trot. Check it

Returning to Truesoul, dubspeeka’s new EP is an outstanding piece of work that showcases his talents as a producer. Weaving through a dark brooding electronic landscape, dubspeeka’s EP brings together imaginative ideas and laces them with electronic beats to create something unique. Melodic lead lines transform this entire EP into something with a unique charm that only dubspeeka can conjure up.

A Rushing Into Water

With the opening track providing an atmospheric techno masterpiece, dubspeeka’s production ability shines through with a staccato synth melody providing a unique listening experience. Staying true to the melodic techno sound that has propelled dubspeeka to the forefront of the global underground music stage, K354 and K375 showcases his ability to conjure varying sounds with chilling vocal samples and distorted percussion sounding out through each production respectively. With dubspeeka’s prominence within the techno world flourishing faster than any other artist within the field, ‘Unfriended’ makes yet another decisive point in this eclectic artists career.

Commencing the 10th anniversary celebrations with a free compilation entitled Erased Tapes Collection VIII, Erased Tapes also welcomes the iconic Penguin Cafe to the roster amongst tracks from new signing Daniel Brandt (of Brandt Brauer Frick) and Peter Broderick’s duo project Allred & Broderick. It also includes recent compositions by Rival Consoles, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Ben Lukas Boysen, Douglas Dare and Immix Ensemble & Vessel, as well as a previously unreleased soundcloud.com/ryan-davis remix of Erased Tapes stalwarts Ólafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm which was recently favoured by Aphex Twin and an exclusive edit of Woodkid & Nils Frahm’s score for JR’s Ellis, with spoken words by Robert De Niro.

The Story before: 

When i heard the Album Trance Frendz of Olafur Arnalds & Nils Frahm for the first time, i directly felt a connection to the song they both started together at 00:26. The fine textures of the synths and the subtle evolution in this one-taker brought up the idea of having a version i can play in the late nights on the dance floor but which also would work perfectly for listening in your comfort zone. 

The drums and way of how the remix should flow came naturally and as i had the song standing i layered the original stems here and there to have the track playing in some kind of canon. As i was very happy with my personal version i sent it out to https://soundcloud.com/olafur-arnalds, https://soundcloud.com/erasedtapes & the rest of the participants of this project. Gladly Olafur picked up my remix and forwarded the song to the label which lead to having this unofficial version approved to share with you out there. I hope you like it and thanks to Erased Tapes and all involved for the support :)

Zombies in Miami - "Take Control" (Simple Symmetry Remix)

Four slow-burning bombs that perfectly encapsulate how far that Slow Motion, slo-mo sound can be stretched. Featuring artists old as Alien Alien (Rodion & Hugo Sanchez) and Lerosa and new as Stoned Immaculate (Leo Mas & Fabrice and Max Essa) and Kassiel, Slow Motion drop the energy down a notch or two but not the emotion. Just as suitable for an early morning run as they are for a Balearic sunset, this four tracker has got essential written all over it.

PREMIERE : Stoned Immaculate - The Spice

Melbourne Industrial/EBM scene representative, master mind behind Power Station/Power Cuts Kris Baha, contributes to Berlin based imprint Cocktail d’Amore with “Autora”. 
Intensely disturbed, sleazy and dirty, the title track follows the lead of the most traditional EBM beats. “Autora” barks with distorted oddities perfectly mashed to an involving balance. 
A factory ambiance out in the forest under a starry sky is “Brink Reality”. A slower paced gem for cosmic, stomping dance floors. While the beat-less A3 “Happiness Disaster” could open a scene of Twin Peaks 2999.    
“10Ways” settles with a thundering bolt of crushing steel, bouncing percussions and a vocal worth of Front 242’s legacy. 
Closing the EP on a romantic and sweet note, “Start Over” is an italo/wave hybrid ballad tinged with hope and brightness. 
Arp2600, Dave Smith Poly Evolver/Pro 2, Oberheim Obxa are few of Kris’s partners responsible for this outstanding expression of contemporary music.

The new @eyesofothers EP Lust Unrequited confuses language, love and lust to beguiling effect. Born of Scottish Highland myth, its romantic and rapacious sonic journey starts there. Looking to Europe, Brussels-based @geoffroymugwump is first to go off-road with his take, employing both respect and disregard for tradition in equal measures. Next, crossing the Atlantic to California, we find @sordid-sound-system manoeuvring the raw materials to fully dubbed- out results. Finally Tel-Aviv’s @mayadanon takes a majestic and tempered bare-bones approach, giving just enough and never too much.
