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 on each, both 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.

Roberto Capuano has delivered Drumcode an immense 4 track EP that will blow out the cobwebs and see Roberto step back onto Drumcode with a bang. Lacing each track with pads and tantalising hook lines, Capuano’s tracks fire on all cylinders with good use of vocals and drum rhythms. His tracks have a certain swagger that only Roberto can conjure.

<p>Spartaque makes his long-awaited Phobiq debut with no less than four spacious cuts, all culminating to form a solid, cohesive EP.<br />
The title track sets the tone with a one-note squelch leading the way, while &#8220;American Hustle&#8221; continues in the same vein, adding discordant riffing and cavernous stabs. The percussion-led &#8220;Ghost Rider&#8221; changes things up a bit with its grinding rhythm section, allowing for the closing &#8220;Placebo&#8221; to emerge with its acidic lead and melodic overtones.</p>

Mark Reeve is a name synonymous within techno, having released on labels such as Drumcode, Cocoon and Bedrock in recent years. These releases have served as a platform for him to tour the world as a DJ, playing esteemed festivals like Awakenings, Tomorrowland and B My Lake. 

2017 see’s him return to Truesoul with ‘New Path EP’, comprising of two blistering tracks in ‘New Path’ and ‘Acceso’. Both tracks are teeming with dark sounds and heavy textures and are typical of Reeve. The title track ’New Path’ is a homage to his groove laden past, calling on big bass lines and sweeping percussion that takes you on a ride through the track. ‘Acceso’ is more of a rolling affair with a thumping beat and some divine synth work. These are certified floor fillers and given the Adam Beyer stamp of approval.

DC175 comes courtesy of Alias, a new project comprising of Harvey & Ryan McKay, who are two acts who have previously released solo material on the label. Harvey McKay’s last appearance was in late 2016 when he dropped ‘The Mad Drummer’ on A-Sides Vol. 4 whereas Ryan McKay’s last outing was in 2015 when he appeared on A-Sides Vol.3 under the name Skiver. This is the first collaborative project between the Scottish duo under their new moniker Alias.

The EP opens with ‘Pentatonic’; A tough sounding track that has been designed for the forward-thinkers. ‘The Truth’ follows up sharply, with vintage piano stabs and a vocal that gives the track abounding energy. The on-point percussion leads you on a trip of pure rapture. The release closes with the apocalyptic ‘Dream Taker’, which is teeming with sinister vocal action, hostile synth work and a sublime way to sign off.

This remix from "Wir Reiten Durch Die Nacht", taken from DJ Hell's 5th studio album "Zukunftsmusik" is a dancefloor ready interpretation of the original cut, with a decidedly more pumped up and dark atmosphere.

We're really happy to have the Bulgarian duo Balthazar & JackRock back on Filth on Acid for a debut EP of 3 originals. When the demo's of these pretty boys hit the FOA office for the first time, an instant party-mode was created. That these tracks will smash dancefloors is for sure, but will you be able to handle it? This is..... Filth on Acid.
