The release broadly charts the evolution of the genre. It gives a platform to standout demos Adam Beyer has received across the course of the year. Many emerging artists find their music on Drumcode for the first time. Case in point: Wehbba, Charles D, and Raxon, who all debuted on the label via a track on the A-Sides series. They have gone on to become regular contributors to Beyer’s influential labels. A-Sides Vol. 14 This year’s compilation features an exciting mix of established heavy-hitters. Alongside them is a slew of new faces set to make their mark on the genre. ‘We Don’t Say Please’ – is emblematic of Adam Beyer’s sound in 2025 – fresh, experimental, and thriving on cross-genre pollinations. Elements of bass music, rap, and techno collide, underpinned by a distinctive UK vocal. The results are inspiring. Elsewhere, the 20-track compilation brims with highlights. HI-LO’s ‘NYC to Amsterdam’ has inflections of New York house fused with driving techno elements. Nicole Moudaber returns to DC in cahoots with the rising ZLATA for the super-charged ‘Report to the Dancefloor’. Oscar L & Charles D mint a new collaborative partnership with the immersive, spacey cut ‘Lift Me Up’. LUSU continues their red-hot run following the recent ‘Move 2 the Groove’ EP. They craft a straight-up mind-mashing single ‘LIKE THIS’. Mark Reeve is in trademark strong form with hypnotic ‘My Mind’, which comes to life via a massive synth-led. The fantastic Kaufmann shares her ‘People are Strange’, a nod to a classic Vox, re-contextualised for a modern techno audience.
