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.

Next release on Tronic is a pack of some exclusive "Secret Weapons" and includes four massive tracks from the label's biggest gunners. First track comes from the mighty Italian duo Macromism, "Backstab" is a groovy beast with banging beats, haunting vocal samples and as the title gives away sick stabs to compliment the solidness of the track. Second track is from the Dutch-man Reinier Zonneveld and is a rolling-bass heavy track, tailor-made for peak time action, on top of that there is this sick melody that adds up to shine off production. Third track of the release comes from Rafa Barrios and Rob Hes, the duo has delivered an afro-like slab, dancy, rhythmic and dirty at the same time and to conclude track four of this release from Drunken Kong is the dark side of the release, hypnotic slab, using a heavy drum work, big boom sub bass and killer chords. All in all a stunning release. Highly recommended.

Our Re-Transmit is perhaps the most beautiful proof to the borderless nature of music. Take an amazing track, well played and loved on any possible dance floor and hand it over to top producers for yet another interpretation. Eventually, the result is exactly what seemed just a while ago impossible, a development of the already perfect. Something that music only allows. Transmit is proud to present you with another stellar release that accommodates totally different parts in any dj-set. While Wehbba's remix takes Chus & Ceballos and Richie Santana's "Low Frequencies" to a new groovier dimension, Ramiro Lopez's interpretation sets it in a whole different gear. Five producers, two new versions, two dance floor killers, one release, endless talent!

Carl Cox is an iconic figurehead of the electronic music industry, whose influential legacy includes his much famed label Intec, which he runs with friend and business partner Jon Rundell.

The new Intec release is from D-Unity and Matt Sassari who made their label debut in 2016 with a top selling EP titled “Fire Up” and now it’s time for a much anticipated follow up.

Canadian artist D-Unity has previously released on a wide selection of labels ranging from Toolroom and Suara to Yoshitoshi and Armada. Often at the top of sales charts, his party starting Techno anthems are regularly supported by everyone from Eric Prydz to Danny Tenaglia.

French man Matt Sassari is also a high calibre artist whose music has featured on labels including Tronic, Bitten and UMEK’s 1605 amongst many others. He is also a popular DJ regularly flying between continents to play international gigs.

Both D-Unity and Matt Sassari are solo artists, but when they come together and collaborate their combined output is stuff of legend.

The first track titled “I Like It” has a thick foundation laid by the tracks pounding kick drum. Powerful vocals infuse the track with energy, pulsating pads provide enthralling tension, and bass stabs provide the final touch to this high octane slice of hands in the air Techno.

Track two “All I Want Is” follows the same formula as the first, but with a Hip Hop influenced vocal sample it has more of a party vibe. With a slight tribal influence from the rolling percussion this dancefloor focused track
is a prefect party starter.

Truesoul continues 2019 in stunning form, with a fantastic original from Riva Starr and a trio of classy remixes from the Italian master’s ‘Curveballs’ album. 

Almost 15 years deep into his career and the Napoli-born, London dwelling Riva Starr (aka Stefano Miele) remains one of electronic music’s most eclectic selectors, his production repertoire encompassing house, techno, breakbeat and beyond. Making his debut on Truesoul in 2017, his contributions include a memorable collaborative EP with Tiger Stripes titled ‘Sound of the Bettest’ and his fourth album ‘Curveballs’ released in October 2018.

Such is the high regard Adam Beyer holds Riva Starr, that it wasn’t long before a return to Truesoul was on the cards. ‘Jill Wears Black’ leads the package, a masterclass in fleetfooted dynamics as multi-layered strings, undulating bass and punchy percussion rub shoulders throughout the six-minute cut. An inspired composition that’s already highlighted Resistance in Ibiza, Elrow and a host of festivals throughout the summer months.

On the remix front, Truesoul has recruited three of the finest to remix Riva’s ‘Curveball’ originals. Drumcode mainstay Layton Giordani steps up for his first Truesoul outing since 2016, reworking ‘The Hole’ into a throbbing peak-time weapon. Marquis Hawkes, one of the Italian’s favourite producer of late, also joins the project, delivering a glistening, spacey interpretation of ‘Piknik’. Firebrand Harvey McKay delivers a trademark powerful re-rub of ‘Disco Loco’, taking the synths of the original and jacking up the intensity to bring it into peak-time techno territory.
