Review: Don't be fooled by the title; D&B pioneer A Sides hasn't gone all Christian Grey on us, 50 Shades Of A is actually the sound of him celebrating his 50th birthday with eight crucial new tracks. "Raise" cuts the first slice of badboy birthday cake with a nod to the classic Bristol style, all rolling and rough around the edges. It's followed by slice after slice after slice... "Edge VIP" sees him update his 2018 Chronic banger with added bass venom, "Tower" is a pure breakbeat hurricane, "Ribs" is a twisted paranoid stepper while "Imperial" nods to a Headz style sound with dramatic cinematic tom-thumping drums. Elsewhere "Million" takes us on a dreamy vocal vibe, "Ashby" shows us A Sides' most sentimental side while "Principles" closes on a beautiful jazzy touch and ensures every flavour A Sides has been crafting since day one is repped in true style. Happy birthday A Sides.

Archive 2 (2019 Remasters)
Pause 4 The Hornz - (7:10) 175 BPM
Destiny - (7:08) 58 BPM
Once Again - (6:43) 172 BPM
Stick Up Kid - (7:05) 172 BPM Hot
Review: A-Sides is a relative legend of the scene, having been around for literal decades and done pretty much everything that you can do in D&B. His old-school influence is a physical presence in his music and none more so than in the second instalment of his 2019 Remasters, a four-track EP of old-school tracks that've been given the new-school treatment. This is instantly apparent on 'Pause 4 The Hornz', which has a snare wider than the A6 and harder than it too. 'Destiny' has possibly the best bassline on the release, a truly all-encompassing bit of multi-tonal construction which seeps into every orifice you have. The rest of the release is equally as good, A-Sides showing off the benefits of the old school: subtlety and vibrancy.

Tyrant/One Love (Remix)
Tyrant - (5:01) 57 BPM
One Love (remix) - (4:59) 173 BPM Hot
Review: Donny don A Sides lets rip with the 91st Eastside release and, as usual, he's not messing around. "Tyrant" is every bit as belligerent as its name suggests. Mad Paradox-level breaks, big booming toms, sirens and north pole pads, it's nothing short of a drum & bass hurricane. "One Love (Remix)" takes us back ten years with a powerful update of his 2009 glacial thumper. White knuckle beats, pranged out bleeps and big washes when you least expect them; a masterclass in minimalism.

Take Flight/Shellback
Take Flight - (5:01) 172 BPM
Shellback - (5:55) 58 BPM Hot
Review: A Sides has been in the game longer than some producers have been alive. You can hear the experience dripping from his productions and his latest single on Eastside is no different, a fiery yet melancholic double tracker which hits hard but doesn't leave you feeling used. 'Take Flight' is the darker of the two, its intro is relatively serene and vocal-laden but it drops into a catchy arrangement of climbing bass notes and sputtering drum breaks. 'Shellback' has the same combination of light and dark but takes it into slightly more expansive territory - absolutely wicked.

Encounter/Pain
Encounter - (5:13) 175 BPM Hot
Pain - (5:12) 174 BPM
Review: A Sides has been around forever, quietly purveying some of the most forward-thinking beats around, beats that sit over on the more rolling side of the spectrum, beats that both get you moving and get you thinking. 'Encounter' starts things off with foreboding ambience and a typically solid drum pattern, dropping away on the drop into a low-down shakedown of force and back end energy, taking you by surprise with its ferocity but pleasing with its sophisticated nature. 'Pain' is in a similar vein; rolling, powerful and wide, a proper head-nodder and a tune for the ages. Big ups to A Side for this one.

Spine
Spine - (5:16) 174 BPM
Tokiado Trilogy - (6:15) 174 BPM Hot
Review: It doesn't get more legendary than A-Sides, a producer with over 500 tracks spanning over 20 years, who's collaborated with virtually every producer worth knowing, including Calibre, Makoto, DJ Marky and Break. Spine is the first track from his brand new single on Eastside and it's more than representative of both his old-school heritage and production quality. Pacey drums kick things off right, a growling bass creeps in underneath and before you know what's going on, twisting low-frequencies come up to bite you; sine waves and sub bass form an all-encompassing, wave-like run of energetic sound. Tokiado Trilogy is the follow up, a drum line characterised by a beefed-up double kick and chin-wagging snare that draw out in the intro and draws you in. When it comes in, the bass is undeniably old school; rumbling, unclear and rough round the edges. It's a track that's eerie in its consistency, and rounds off an incredible release from the man like A-Sides.

Trench/Moga
Trench - (4:17) 172 BPM Hot
Moga - (4:52) 173 BPM
Review: Veritable jungle OG A Sides delivers his first originals in over 18 months and they're every bit as authentic, real and gritty and loaded with dark funk as we want them to be. "Trench" lives up to its name with grizzly Serum/Benny L style groans and some absurdly sharp drum jungle choppage while "Moga" brings a more drawn out sense of tension with a space funk roller vibe laced with rushy fills and pristine synths. Ageless tackle as ever from a certified forefather.

Broken Jazz (feat Mark De Clive-Lowe) - (6:00) 58 BPM
Review: Six years old and still sounding future, longstanding break merchant and OG junglist A-Sides reissues his third artist album Mysterious Vibes. As always with A-Sides the vibes are high and far reaching as they range from dreamy whirling liquid soul such as "Ain't Nobody" to gurgling wobbled-out halftime such as "One Seven Five". Other highlights include the mystic space funk stepper "Hibiscus", the skank-packing horn blazer "Roots & Culture, the gun-toting gutter grizzler "Doppler Diss" and many more. Ageless.
