Adam Beyer’s Drumcode juggernaut attracts more fans and critical plaudits with each passing year. Holding firm on its future facing ethos, techno’s number one label presents a new volume in its acclaimed A-Sides series with 20 prime tracks to signify its 20th anniversary. 

Such is the volume of quality music Adam Beyer receives throughout the course of the year, releasing all of it would be impossible. Enter the blue chip A-Sides series: a chance for the quality-obsessive label head to issue a collection of outstanding tracks that couldn’t fit in their regular EP release schedule. 

With an eye on future talent, as much as the label’s established roster of heavy-hitters, the compilation showcases the full breadth of Drumcode’s multifaceted techno sound, equal parts inspiring and functional. 

Led by the stealth techno funk of ‘Nine of You’, Beyer’s deft collaboration with Mark Reeve, the compilation takes in exciting highlights from big guns such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Dustin Zahn, Bart Skils, Pleasurekraft, Luca Agnelli, Jay Lumen, Kaiserdisco and Gary Beck. 

The rich vein of form displayed by emerging techno talent is similarly given prime position. Rising DJ/producer Boxia makes his Drumcode debut, fresh from a well-received warm up set for the crew at the hugely successful Junction 2 festival in London, while the likes of Enrico Sangiuliano, Juan Sanchez, Ian O’Donovan and Timmo also drop fire, establishing their credentials as some of the most promising talent breaking through the ranks in 2016. 

Reinforcing the global scope of the label, artists such as The Junkies from Toronto and Layton Giordani from New York, prove techno is winning a place in the heart of the new generation of artists coming out of North America.

Independent record label owned by Adam Beyer.

Born in 2002 in Rosario, Argentina, Juxøn is part of a new generation of techno artists shaped by both spiritual inquiry and sonic exploration. With a deeply intuitive creative process, he channels hypnotic darkness and emotional depth into a sound that feels organic, textured, and alive — like unknown creatures moving through a dreamlike landscape.

He avoids predefined paths, allowing inner silence and connection to guide the direction of each piece. For him, producing is a meditative act — a way to dissolve the ego, reach presence, and transmit the invisible.

His music seeks to emerge from few elements, each carrying weight, intention, and character. Minimalism left a strong mark on his journey, showing him that less can truly be more.

Inspired by the trance-inducing power of techno, his aim is to lead listeners into altered states of consciousness, where dance becomes a path toward introspection and dialogue with the subconscious.

“In the search for the integration of one’s own being with consciousness placed in the here and now”
