Review: Adam Beyer's esteemed Drumcode resurfaces this week with the next installment in the A Sides series. We're already up to Vol 11's sixth part, and this one seriously means business. Take for instance Hungarian techno hero Jay Lumen's 'Astronaut' featuring the pummelling cyclicality of its muscular bassline that's reinforced by truly visceral kicks. Elsewhere, Dutchman LAAT (Elevate/Tronic) is sure to have you reaching for the lasers on the steely and acid-inflected power on 'Call Of The Tribes' while the enigmatic Zimmz will properly elevate you to maximum euphoria on the trance-influenced energy of 'Qualia'.
Review: The mighty Drumcode label keeps on serving up those business beats with this 10th volume of A-Sides. The clue is in the title really - a collection of big hitting techno tunes designed for large plus at peak time. Jay Lumen kicks off with the hammering kicks and made synth melodies of 'Galactic Rainbow', which is sure to make any floor march. Thomas Schumacher & Caitlin then come together for the machine gun synths of 'Qadash' and its sleek, rolling drums, and completing the trio is Zimmz with the deeper, more dark and atmospheric 'Tension' which does exactly what it says on the tin.
