Sides Vol. 7: Part 2 / Various Sides Vol. 7: Part 2 / Various 12-Inch Single Vinyl

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 it's lifespan, Drumcode keeps evolving and excelling, pushing techno forward while remaining wholly respectful of it's roots. This reputation for progression was further fuelled this summer with it's 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 it's sonic repertoire, with Adam Beyer scrupulously selecting unreleased tracks that have taken prime position in his sets over recent months. Part 2 kicks off with Thomas Schumacher's 'The Unseen' an relentless industrial workout with a nod to the 90s European techno sound. Next up is Brazilian Victor Ruiz with his uplifting cut 'Pulso' layered with emotion & arpeggiated melodies. On the B side & rounding off part 2, B. Traits makes her Drumcode debut. The esteemed Canadian selector offers up 'I Feel The Music', a euphoric track that's been sought after since spring, due to multiple plays on Adam Beyers Drumcode Live show & featuring in his live DJ sets.
