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.

Skober - Back To Life [ELEVATE]

Label boss Sasha Carassi takes control of the situation and delivers the futuristic &#8220;Echoes&#8221;, which is led by haunting synths and arpeggiated intricacies, all coming together to form a nostalgic vibe, while the persistent rhythm section chugs away and commanding vocal snippets keep the heads down. Things tense up a bit on &#8220;Clorophilia&#8221; where we are treated to growling synthesis and mutating, analog goodness, leaving clever effects to fill in the gaps and keep the suspense level high.

The Drumcode A-Sides compilation is quickly becoming synonymous within the techno world as a go to compilation for the hottest tracks that are deservedly A-side material in their own right. Each specific track has it own unique character that brings an outstanding and electrifying aspect to the compilation that as a whole makes it something extremely special. Mixing both highly experienced and new artists has helped to bring a new dimension to the compilation that makes it such a special array of tracks.

Alan Fitzpatrick makes a triumphant return to the scene-leading imprint this August. The typically bombastic three-tracker of explosive, crowd-moving techno opens with ‘Love Siren’ packed with all the power and punch required to knock over festival crowds as it systematically builds and drops, this is one for the big open air stages. ‘U Said U’ is a massively hyped track that has been the subject of huge fan-demand since it first featured on Beyer’s Drumcode Radio in January. ‘Rumours’ wraps things up in slightly more understated but non-the-less effective fashion with its drawn out, tension building intro mushrooming into a crescendo of sleazy chords and sparking melodies.

This is Remain LTD 078, Roots EP, and has the signature of Axel Karakasis, who sails through the summer heat with two amazing tracks.

Circles is a delicious mix of slamming beats and sneaky basslines that come together neatly with carefully selected samples and an amazing voice preset to compose an immaculate track for all those mid-summer parties!

Upbeat tempo and throbbing cymbals form the basis of Roots, an amazing tool for your summer playlist. Haunting synths and a multi-layered theme can only inspire you to be creative and daring on the dancefloor.

We are very proud to present our brand-new &#8220;Abilities&#8221; V/A compilation which perfectly showcases were phobiq stands right now, and where the future will take us.

Skober - Your Body Must To Move (Original Mix)

!Organism make a carefully selected foray into the vinyl market with their next EP, which comes both digitally as well as on wax, with different tracks making up each package. The revered Irregular Synth is the man behind the fresh originals and is an Italian producer with a worldwide fan base. He has released on this label before now to great acclaim, as well as on Loose Records and many more, and has a steely and singular style. Up first on the vinyl and digital release is his brilliant Final Decision, a barreling track with rooted drums and incendiary hi hats that roll and roll. Belgiums Tom Hades is the man who remixes, and does so with a more supple sense of groove. Subtle vocal yelps and smoother hits all scurry along next to his rubber kicks and the overall effect is perfectly hypnotic. Irregular Synth then serves up another fine original in Hurricane. This one is a white knuckle ride through stark techno rhythms with bursts of apocalyptic noise and plenty of industrially tinged textures. The remix of this one comes from Londons Ben Long, the governor at Space DJz and someone with fine techno credentials amassed over many years. His version is loopy, ravey and abstract and really sets your mind in a spin with its stomping drums and disorientating sirens. All those cuts are pressed to vinyl and come on the digital EP, but there are also some bonus digital tracks. These include slick new Mills like techno originals in Just Run (plus a deep tunnelling remix from Greek man Kostas Maskalides) as well as the undulating, heady affair thatis Shes Mandy, plus an A-Brothers remix of Hurricane that flips the original into dark, broody roller. Overall this is another fulsome package of searing techno that will make dance floors of all descriptions march to its infectious beat.

Hell Driver - No Mercy (Original Mix) [Renesanz]

It&#8217;s time for Sasha Carassi&#8217;s &#8220;Echoes&#8221; from a few months ago to receive remix treatment, and Skober&#8217;s interpretation is up first and focuses on the melodic elements of the Original but cleverly adds moody synths which add to the overall epicness of the affair, especially in the grandiose breakdown. Layton Giordani is up next with his trademarked shadowy sound and impeccable arrangement, offering yet another angle of attack. Last but not least are Loco &amp; Jam dubbing things out with bursts of references to the original in key moments, while maintaining a rocksteady vibe sprinkled with discordant stabs.

Sasha Carassi - Echoes (Skober Remix) [Phobiq]

Second release of Claudia Cazacu on Gate Null, which shows her great skill. Amazing and epic is his original mix featured by the JFK’s speech. She arranges her pick-time monster always working on a swelling bassline rooted in a devastating kick drum and eclectic grooves, riddled with an epic synth line that makes a great techno pressure. No other Artist can be involved on the remix duty than the label boss Andrea Frisina, who has a long experience and skill to fit historical speeches in techno weapons. His version is a big room track featured by his famous and recognisable dark mood. Amazing, as per usual, is the breakdown, where he inserts the speech in full, which seems exactly arranged to introduce the elements with which Andrea builds the “crescendo”, preparing the floor to the smasher second part of his mix.

Marco Bailey returns to his eternally legendary imprint, MB Elektronics, and of course he couldn't arrive with empty hands but rather with yet another sensational EP featuring two well-built techno cuts titled ''Get Balance'' and ''Endless''. Techno might leads us to the edges of emotions but at the end, it is all about ''getting balance'', between darkness and light, between passion and love, between hell and paradise...with this EP proving it properly. Not to be missed from your playlists - ''endless'' dancing is guaranteed!

press release:
From his outpost in the Texan backwoods, Barbuto has readied a barrage of sure fire bangers lately, hitting his stride with a signature brand of Techno that is part peak time rager and part ultra sleek groove. Expertly gauging the dance floor, his years helming the decks at Kingdom club have served him well. His EP is rounded off by man of the hour and global chart crusher - Enrico Sangiuliano, a vertically ascending studio whizz who has recently rocked the scene with abnormally huge anthems.
