A Flickering Frame

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.

After the release of their collaborative ‘BREED’ EP at the end of last summer, Nicole Moudaber and Skin have unveiled the highly anticipated remix package featuring a long list of respected producers. Carl Craig, Fur Coat, Jamie Jones, Jerome Sydenham, Paco Osuna, Pan-Pot and Scuba are just some of the names which have turned their hand to the project. Originally born out of Nicole and Skin ofSkunk Anansie’s desire to fuse their rock and techno backgrounds, this is a true for a collaboration project with a difference.

EI8HT Records is the brand-new collaboration between longtime friends and DJ partners, Eats Everything and Andres Campo. Their aim? To focus on forward thinking techno that transcends through soulful and emotive electronic music, to high energy groove-laden club tracks. They want fans to experience their imagination and creativity with a string of releases derived from their undeniable love of electronic music.

After the huge success of the debut release by Avision, Ei8ht proudly present the uncompromising talents of Drumcomplex with an astounding 3 track EP. 

A scene stalwart since the 90s, Drumcomplex is a DJ, producer, label owner and crowd favourite. With a discography that spans from Carl Cox’s Intec and Monika Kruse’s Terminal M to Andre Crom’s OFF Recordings, his tough, funky tech style has continued to impress for 20 years. As a DJ, he regularly travels the world playing at clubbing hotspots on every continent. His own label, Complexed Records, set up in 2014, echoes Drumcomplex’s desire to make music that is clear in its structure and credible in its message. 

Starting with ‘Over You’ Drumcomplex drops a stomping groove over a creeping synth and echoed vocal for maximum dance floor devastation. Title track, Disco, is a lighter affair with bubbling synths and sparse percussion. Hypnotic and relentless, its appeal is hard to miss. Finally, ‘Black’ showcases some complex drum work and a spiky bassline. Peak time power from the German maestro.

@abzolutrecords Press release:

Koen Groeneveld jumped in a time machine, heavily inspired by the early 90's rave era and served up this piece of great memories consisting of a fat pumping Techno beat, moody bells, a fierce piano riff and many more wicked sounds from back in the day.
This simply sums it all up. Belter!
