Tech/deep

1trax latest release ‘Pilot’ comes courtesy of Italian producers Aki Bergan &amp; N.E.K.O. backed up with selection of killer remixes from Halo, Phil Asher and Jamie Funk.

A regular fixture on the Beatport charts, Aki Bergan hooks up with N.E.K.O and delivers a deep, bass heavy work out for 1trax063. Pulsing bottom end pressure, waves of high-hat percussion and deftly effected textures create an introspective, hypnotic vibe on ‘Pilot’.

First up on remix duties Halo (of H-Foundation fame) servers up a chuggy re-working of 'Pilot'. Exercising his production prowess, Halo creates a texture rich backdrop made up of intricately effected sounds including a heavily processed vocal. Brooding excellence from the seasoned producer.

Phil Asher is a producer who needs no introduction, with the recent launch of his RSTLSS TRX imprint, Asher has created an outlet for the deeper side to his sound which he showcases here with hollow bass vibrations, pitched down vocals and tribalesque beats.

1trax regular Jamie Funk completes the package with a dreamy tech house take on the original. Deep bass, classic percussion and melodic pads, Jamie’s mix rounds the EP off in fine style.

Friend Within - The Relate (snippet)

Up next on 1trax a legendary house act drops a 2 track EP sure to become a familiar soundtrack on many a floor this summer.
 
X-Press 2 need no introduction, rising to prominence throughout the 90s and later going on to have wide spread commercial acclaim, and even notching up a number 1 on the UK singles chart. They’ve been there, done it and got the accolades to prove.
 
Going from a trio to a duo in 2009 when Ashley Beedle left the group to pursue solo interests, X-Press 2 are now focused on going back to their roots and making house music made for the DJs to be enjoyed on the dance floors.
 
‘Clouded Vision’ perfectly embodies a classic, driving house sound, primed for the late night terraces. A perfectly balanced groove, understated piano motif and just the right amount of rousing synth lines to build to fever pitch.
 
On the flip ‘Crystal Clearings’ uses an infectious groove over its chunky, undulating course. The injection of well-placed string melodies and piano keys provide a flirtatious edge to proceedings.
 
Two infectious house cuts from a duo who prove their best is certainly not behind them. Clouded Vision/ Crystal Clearings is out mid-May on 1trax.
