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.

We want you to get together… 
@catzndogz pay homage to one of the most iconic live vocals in house music history, and 
unwittingly drop one of the biggest tracks of the summer in the process. Often sampled, seldom 
explicitly credited, the @pets_recordings partners develop the legacy by clearing the sample as an official remix. 
People, we proudly present Marlena Shaw – Woman Of The Ghetto (Catz ‘N Dogz Remix) Here’s 
what the guys have to say about it. 
“Everybody knows the vocal sample from the St.Germain record ‘Rose Rouge’, but a lot of people 
don’t know the original track is by Marlene Shaw, from a live performance she did back in the days. 
It’s been sampled by a lot of other people like Bob Sinclar, Grandmaster Flash and the famous 90s hit 
from Blue Boy. We have a lot of memories with this vocal because we were growing up in the 90s. 
That’s why we decided to do our take on this one. The first time we played it on a big festival we 
were shocked how well it works… That’s why we decided to release it officially, along with a second 
version that’s more stripped-down and based only on the conga and djembe rhythms.” 
Rattling rhythms, hypnotic percussion, an acid line straight from the gutter of the ghetto and one of 
the greatest voices in soul history; this is nothing short of essential. 
Put your hands together one time…

Andre Crom returns to OFF with 3 diverse tracks between the peaktime dancefloor and tripped out afterhour vibes.

The EP opens with the most driving track of the pack, aptly named "Acid Space". Heavily driven 909 drums, an energetic Acid hook, and spaced out atmospheric FX sounds make for a formidable dancefloor weapon.

"Drum Track" combines more minimalistic drummachine- and organic percussions with an eponymous vocal.

"Chaos And Form" offers an unexpected detour from Crom's recent releases, a dreamy and trippy reference to oldschool detroit techno, joining jam-style 909 and 808 drums with a hypnotic FM7-bassline and -bell-pattern.

Rødhåd’s debut album ‘Anxious’ sees the artist step away from the dancefloor and further develop the narrative qualities of his beautiful soundscapes. In ‘Target Line’, Rødhåd´s collaboration with Vril, the simmering synth-track breaks away when they least expect it, setting the stage for the climax of the album.

​Radio Slave has been churning out high-octane, high-energy techno for a long, long time so it may come as a surprise that he's about to release his debut solo album next month. 

Arriving via his acclaimed imprint Rekids, 'Feel The Same' follows on from a single of the same name and the dancefloor-crushing 'Another Club'. His hot-streak continues with his hotly-anticipated first LP and we've got a premiere from the beast. 

'Trans' has been doing the rounds already, with selectors like Dixon and Âme​ drawing for it in recent sets.
