A testament to the growth of Adam Beyer’s scene-leading label, Drumcode annual A-Sides Vol.8 is the brand’s biggest yet. The 25-track strong compilation, split across 7 EPs, features standout cuts Beyer has received over the last 12 months, but been unable to find room for in Drumcode’s regular release schedule, such is the volume and high standard of music that’s submitted. Part 2 sees debuts on DC from SAMA, in a terrific collaboration with Secret Cinema, and Raxon following a couple of quality additions to the Truesoul back catalogue. Alongside this Wehbba offers up ‘Mantra’ combining techno classicism with future-focused groove, and Timmo provides another standout track to match his solo releases on the label.
