@thePhilosophica are a talented trio coming from different fields and backgrounds — an Argentinian based in Berlin, a French back on his continent after living in Colombia, and an Egyptian-New Yorker in Amsterdam — they converged into a musical trifinium.

We're proud to present there wonderful edit of Egyptian 70's singer and star of Shaabi music.

In their own words;

'There are melodies which possess an inexplicable power to transcend barriers and touch the deepest recesses of our souls. Ahmed Adaweya’s “Bent el Soltan” is a poignant ballad which explores the melancholy of lost love and stands as a testament to this universal truth. Rooted in the heartache of separation, the original track resonates with emotions that many have experienced – the raw, unfiltered pain of bidding farewell to a cherished lover or a loved one.

Our connection with “Bent el Soltan” goes far beyond musical admiration; it collides with some of the most dramatic events of our own lives. Recently, we mourned the loss of a dear friend, for whom this song held a special place. It was more than a melody to him; it was a symphony of memories, home away from home. Inspired by the passion and the profound emotions encapsulated in the original song, we embarked on a transformative creative journey to say goodbye in our own personal way to this friend that no tears can replace.

Ahmed Adaweya, the revered voice of the Egyptian masses, represents the heartbeat of the working class, echoing their struggles and joys through his music. Embracing this powerful cultural context, we set out with a vision – to elevate “Bent el Soltan” beyond its traditional boundaries and introduce it to the vibrant, pulsating world of the global club scene. We envisioned a fusion of cultures, harmony between the authenticity of an Egyptian classic and the infectious energy of electronic beats'.

CVNSUMED shared : "I've been hard at work behind the scenes — selling and buying gear, exploring new techniques, and broadening my musical horizons. After a lot of experimentation, I'm happy to say I feel like I'm entering a new chapter... To crystallize this change in mindset, I've also decided to stop performing with the mask. I'm proud to launch this new phase with Berlin-based platform VARIA, which is welcoming me into their track series."

We're thrilled to feature CVNSUMED, a techno project rooted in Paris experimentation since 2015. Renowned for precise sound design, storytelling, intensity, and a refined, minimalist edge. With releases on labels like 47, ARTS, RAW, and Demian Records, and supported by respected artists, CVNSUMED has built a solid reputation.

The new track offers a meticulously crafted sonic environment where tension meets subtlety through intricate textures and restrained energy.

B2. Amelie Lens & Farrago - Circling The Sun

B1. Amelie Lens & Farrago - Purge

Drumcode returns with its 6th installment of the internationally celebrated A-Sides series. Renowned for fostering a shared space between industry tastemakers and rising talent alike, the careful curation that goes into each volume is a fine example of why Beyer’s brand continues to go from strength to strength.

Techno titan Adam Beyer has grown Drumcode into a force to be reckoned with; the label has become synonymous with forward-thinking, functional techno and even after 20 years, Drumcode continues to find new boundaries to push, and ways to solidify its legacy as the world’s number one techno label. 

2017 is no exception, with Beyer’s imprint hosting it’s first stage at Tomorrowland, not to mention the expansion of the critically acclaimed Junction 2 where the Drumcode stage is the centrepiece and Adam plays the key role of festival director. The Drumcode phenomenon continues to grow each week, chiefly fuelled by Drumcode Radio, Adam’s radio show that’s broadcast in 57 countries via 86 stations and to a global audience of 16 million techno fans per week. 

The A-Sides series acts as a perfect vignette of Drumcode’s cutting-edge sound; functional yet inspired techno, all tracks tried and tested by Beyer himself. Vol. 6 continues this tradition with a collection of 16 multi-faceted cuts from a mixture of both emerging artists and experienced label friends. 

The heart-throbbing bass in Amelie Lens’ electrifying piece ‘In Silence’ sets the tone for the dark and dance-floor-ready energy that Vol.6 carries the whole way through. Other standouts include Mars Bill’s rough’n’ready ‘Mohave’. Pulsating and precise, ‘Mohave’ has highlighted many of Beyer’s sets recently as has Wehbba’s monster track ‘Fake’, which fans have been anticipating the release of all year. 

Label-favourites Dense & Pika also feature on ‘A-Sides’ Vol. 6 with their hard-hitting ‘Just a Beat’ and a huge track from Beyer himself who has joined forces with Enrico Sangiuliano to bring us their undeniably infectious ‘Preset Heaven’. 

With many more notable selections from the likes of Julian Jewell, Timmo, Tiger Stripes and Pig&Dan, A-Sides Vol. 6 is another impressive addition to the label’s prolific release roster and a testament to why Drumcode remains at the forefront of the electronic world.
