Frankyeffe is back on Phobiq and kicks this EP off with the riff-led title track which effortlessly combines metallic, space-age stabs with pulsating chords for maximum momentum.&nbsp; 
&#8220;One More Time&#8221; is up next, and the focus shifts to the acid leads while streamlined electronics work in the background.&nbsp; Things take a slightly more musical turn with the closing &#8220;Blast&#8221;, as we are introduced to an epic vibe emanating from the menacing synths and grandiose pads.

The 2pole debut for Phobiq is here and the fierce title track sets the tone without beating around the bush.&nbsp; A galloping rhythm section and an arsenal of manic effects constantly build, before reaching an arpeggiated breakdown that leads into yet another drum workout.&nbsp; On &#8220;Walk To Reality&#8221; we are introduced to a variety of spoken word edits while evolving synths reach epic status with huge chords and a looped-out vibe.

Spartaque makes his long-awaited Phobiq debut with no less than four spacious cuts, all culminating to form a solid, cohesive EP. 
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.

Bageera returns to phobiq with a full release and the title track opens the door to an eerie soundscape complete with haunting riffs and discordant atmospherics.&nbsp; &#8220;Hands On It&#8221; is a much more stripped-down affair that pauses only for a spoken word passage before returning to its rocksteady path.&nbsp; Closing up is the moody &#8220;Calenteda&#8221; which brings more melodic overtones to the table while keeping things extra classy with epic pads.

Barbuto makes his phobiq debut and the aptly-titled &#8220;Cicadas&#8221; is up first, boasting buzzing synths in the background while evolving arpeggios slowly engulf the track. The Spektre remix toughens things up as the boys add their trademarked shadowy percussion and create a total heads-down vibe. &#8220;Eye Of Horus&#8221; introduces subtle riffing and claustrophobic melodic elements which lead to Thoth&#8217;s mix where we get a more looped-out approach together with a grinding rhythm section.

The seventh volume of Drumcode’s annual A-Sides compilation hits with no less than 10 debuts for the label, with Charlotte de Witte, ANNA, B.Traits and Scuba’s SCB project, among the collection of topline artists to release their maiden productions on the imprint. 

Over two decades into its lifespan, Drumcode keeps evolving and excelling, pushing techno forward while remaining wholly respectful of its roots. This reputation for progression was further fueled this summer with its inaugural festival at the NDSM Docklands in Amsterdam, featuring a long list of heavyweights including Nicole Moudaber, Joseph Capriati, Amelie Lens and Ida Engberg, among others. 

As ever, the A-Sides compilation provides a timely opportunity to showcase the full range of its sonic repertoire, with Adam Beyer scrupulously selecting 22 unreleased tracks that have taken prime position in his sets over recent months. 

Outstanding all-round talent ANNA kicks off the compilation with ‘Portable Paradise’, a pulsating cut that sets the tone for the top-shelf club cuts to follow. Also entering the debut field with their first ever Drumcode dalliances are B.Traits and Charlotte de Witte. The esteemed Canadian selector offers up ‘I Feel The Music’, a euphonic track that’s been sought after since spring, and the Belgian ballista unlocks a thick-edged club bomb in ‘Remember.’

Leaders of Drumcode’s new brigade, exciting Brazilian Wehbba and British techno alchemist Boxia set out to impress. Wehbba’s straight-talking ‘Just’ hits with an immediate sense of urgency before neck-snap claps strike with force, and Boxia’s ‘Final Call’ elicits physical engagement with mellifluous vocals and soaring pads. 

Continuously looking to bolster the profiles of emerging talent, Berlin-based producers Weska and Juliet Fox are brought into the fold with equally engaging razor-sharp tracks that are primed to do lasting damage. 

Other notable highlights include an exhilarating workout from Reset Robot - the most released artist on Beyer’s imprint Truesoul – as he lands on Drumcode for the first time. And tastemaker’s favourite Jel Ford makes a welcome return as he ushers in techno rhythms with bustling breaks in ‘Nightshade.’

Elsewhere, support from label mainstays comes in from Bart Skils, who offers a work of consummate skill in ‘West Of The Moon.’ Alan Fitzpatrick, who’s been heavily featured across the A-Side series, joins forces with Scuba as he operates as his uncompromising alias SCB. The result is a propulsive floor-gripper that testifies to their masterful deftness as co-producers. Formidable duos Dense & Pika and Pig&Dan also contribute with powerful compositions.
