Tecno proper old

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 each, 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.

Patrick Siech & Petter B - Blaces - Drumcode - DC128

After appearing on our sister label Truesoul and also the A-sides Volume 2, dubspeeka releases his first full EP on Drumcode. Basing his sound heavily on his uniquely dark and twisted melodies, dubspeeka has created a brooding, atmospheric EP that capture each individual feeling on the techno scale from bouncing, energetic tracks to melancholic offerings. His use of Percussive sounds add energy to tracks such as Primary K290 and his array of eloquent lead lines add depth and character that can be heard on Primary K293.

Next up on Kuukou is a varied 2-tracker from venerated German producer Tom Wax. With a career that stretches back to the 1980s, Tom's stripes are well earned and numerous. 

Releases on Toolroom, Suara, WePlay, Plastic City and his own Phuture Wax and collaborations with CJ Bolland, Marshall Jefferson and Mike Dearborn as well as a consistent worldwide touring schedule all work to inspire and inform his time in the studio and here he channels his focus into 2 contrasting shades of Techno.  

'We Are One' kicks things off with a slick, cogent cut. Powerful, wrought percussion is rebounded against a dub-tinged stab that pilots a lean, classy groove. 

Drums continue to stack in deftly woven polyrhythms, generating a magnetic energy across a recording that manages to remain memorable and subtle in equal measures. 

Walking On Clouds follows up with seismic force. A peak-energy kick hammers under roaring stabs while a snaking bass hook bubbles into focus. Captivating sequencing has the track unfolding with a powerful sense of drama as melodic pauses and dizzy rises keep the dance floor guessing.  

A spacious stage is set for Drea Perlon's gentle spoken vocals before an intense, hedonic rush swells up and pops with an intensity that's guaranteed to dynamise any dance floor.

Tom Wax - We Are One

Hundge (Original Mix)|| AFFIN025LTD

Back at our mammoth Stay True Scotland broadcast earlier this month, one track came real close to bringing The Caves' roof down during Nina Kraviz's powerhouse headline set. "I Wanna Go Bang" very nearly executed its titular statement – well, if the song was more about wrecking balls and less about...oh, never mind.

The vocals that stalk the track, so wholly devoid of humanity, rub up against razor-sharp claps and serious bounce in the subs. It's weighty warehouse techno of the highest order, set to devastate dark basements and big tents alike throughout the year. Simply put: Icelandic producer Bjarki has delivered a bomb.

Grip the physical via трип from July 15th onwards.

Hurukan - Haumea (Red Richards)

 First pressing in very limited red 180g vinyl.

Andre Kronerts seminal EXU EP gets a comprehensive rework from some of the most outstanding on the scene. Tense and sinister new cuts from Kronert introduce both sides of the release, whilst the label calls upon remixes from Berlin mainstays Efdemin and Ed Davenport, as well as Hollands finest export Juan Sanchez, plus Stockholm LTD label boss Par Grindvik alongside fellow Swede Peder Mannerfelt.

Retaining the slurred vocal of the original, Efdemin layers thundering effects over chasmic bass in his mix of Into The Zone, which saw heavy rotation last year. Meanwhile Davenport brings a wild yet streamlined intensity to C.O.D.E.2.
Side B sees Grindvik team up with Mannerfelt to provide a joint interpretation of Into The Zone, which they manipulate into a peak-time epic, with a soaring melody over hammering toms. Finally, Juan Sanchez channels funk through Roll The Dice with a twitchy, groove-laden rework.

The spirit of EXU is made physical once again via 12 inches and 27 minutes of wax.

Japanese producer Hiroaki Iizuka has been releasing music since the turn of the century. After several efforts on imprints such as Symbolism, THEM and Nheoma, - as of now - the Hokkaido based hardware aficionado turns to Rotterdam's Self Reflektion with a package that's filled with thoroughly arranged sequenes and deep gritty drums. "Primitive Spirit EP" consists out of 4 tracks that merely exist out of rhythmic alternations and syncopated synth patterns that heavily display the use of hardware equipment.

For the initial a-side effort "Opto", Hiroaki' cleverly uses deranged synth bits and a vary of subtle effect strains to exhibit an ominous atmosphere. The sophomore a-side endeavour "Vertik" proves to be an almost frantic thrill that should be suitable for both late night club settings and purposeless city walks. 

For the b-side opener "Primitive Spirit" Hiroaki shows his versatility by turning a bit more audacious by coming up with a tumultuous drum frenzy thatis balanced out by spacey FX washes and processed hats. "Drum unit" is the final cut that somewhat hints to traditional Rotterdam techno. Due to the latter and all it's versatility, "Primitive Spirit EP" is the right record for Self Reflektion. The image displayed on the A side is sketched up by Rotterdam based Mate Pavic​.

Pierre Blanche - Ares

Contained within this eleven-track compilation is a collection of tracks submitted to Drumcode as demos but which didn’t have other tracks to be partnered with to make up a classical Drumcode EP. Such was the quality and quantity of these stunning one-off tracks that the idea of making them into a compilation was born primarily for practical reasons. As the project grew the idea became a theme and the theme evolved into a finished project – A-Sides - which tells both the story of Drumcode’s recent past with familiarly high-octane tracks from Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Joseph Capriati, Gary Beck, Gregor Tresher and Dustin Zahn & Rachel Palmer but also gives a glance into what is to come as the likes of Patrick Siech, Luigi Madonna, Roberto Capuano, Dhillon and Manic Brothers get their chance to contribute to the shaping Drumcode’s future.
