A-SIDES VOL. 11 - PART 4

TRACKLIST A1 Nicolas Taboada - Circles A2 BEC - Vibration B1 Avision  Find Myself B2 Cosmic Boys  I™m A Robot INFO Drumcode™s beloved A-Sides compilation makes a welcome return after a two-year absence, with a mammoth 25-track feast covering every shade of the techno spectrum split across seven, 12 inch parts. The project was devised in 2012 as a way of showcasing the wealth of strong material Adam Beyer receives each year, which due to Drumcode™s busy release schedule, might not otherwise find a home on the label. Since then, it™s grown to become an essential fixture on the techno release schedule and a marker for where the genre stands in any given year. For part four, Nicolas Taboada cranks the dial on ˜Circles™ melding breakbeats with modulated vocal samples and underlying techno power as BEC hits with ˜Vibration™ a ferocious siren signalling rocket. On the flip, Avision™s ˜Find Myself™ leads listeners into a state of hypnosis with warped vocal refrains, storming kicks and rising synths. Closing out the EP Cosmic Boys unleash a robot wielding, trance flavoured whirlwind.
