This track from American producer DJ Coldsteel is part of his new album "Trickster Spirit" which is being released by Acid Waxa on 05/11/21.

Premieres on MTRPLS: soundcloud.com/mtrpls-cork/sets/premieres

Trickster Spirit is a beautiful magic carpet ride of a bop, racing giddily at breakneck-speed across the more neon end of the rave spectrum. Taking in acid, hardcore, breakbeat and gabba, this is Coldsteel’s first full length long player to date, following recent EPs for the likes of Audio Bambino, Hardest Soft & Nooit Meer Naar Huis.

Young buck, Darius Shaol (aka DJ Coldsteel) delivers the goods - snacking on samples from far and wide and then spewing them up back again alongside his own deeply infectious harmonies & rhythms. Melodies are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed but divisive (see historical tricksters such as the fox, Pan and sprites et al). “Growing up in the U.S, I feel uncomfortable saying this but the album is intentionally cheeky. It lives in a cloud kingdom above grind, style and pragmatism”.

DJ Coldsteel hails from Vermont, North East USA and now resides in Chicago,

Loves: fish, acid, family, gamelan, sunrise, girlfriend, fantasy, reality.
Favorite Colours: blue, purple.
Biome: Fern forests.
Tricks up sleeve: Many.
Motion: Erratic.
IQ: 63.

DJ Coldsteel - Cherry Coloured Tranz [Acid Waxa]

The first proper release for A_K Trancecore following the anthemic hyper-rework of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘I Drove All Night’ appearing on N4TS VA003. This EP contains three more rave makeovers of 80s bangers from Pat Benatar, Prince and Chris Isaak, and is just as much of an emotional rollercoaster as you’d expect.

“I was born with empty hands and I will leave with empty hands", mom said.


Titled Buông, the debut EP draws from a word dear to Anh Phi mother's heart, meaning “to let go” in Vietnamese, echoing resilience, impermanence, and the intergenerational dichotomy of both forced and privileged migrations. It was composed in constant transition across borders, East and West, underlaid by paradigm shifts and diasporic discourses. Anh Phi’s Buông is a visceral exploration, inward and outward.

Multilayered modern metropolises, primal tribal feels, global borderless club mutations, Nam Cát Tiên biosphere, cinematic plots, twists &  cliffhangers… “OI” — timeline collapses, equanimity, transmutation, mess & order —,  “Ạ” — memories lost in translation, testimonies, mother tongue & alien tongue, morphed bikes, organic arpeggio birds  —,  “()” — breaths, autonomous sensory meridian response, childhood reminiscence, body movements, play —, “Ừ” — soil, light, wind, bells, rite, propelling to space…

It all converges at the intersection of uncertainty and clarity, where no answer is given yet sparse ingredients are digested. Systems and beliefs reset to the unknown. Mining an unreal epoch.
In between spaces yet to be discovered.
Swarm of flying beings diving into new lights.

HARD TRADE - Core Collusion" is the first compilation to be released on the newly founded label HARD TRADE.

It is a combined effort not only of past participants of the HARD TRADE events but a great number of impressive artists from all over the world.

Especially during these times, it's more important than ever to pull resources together, support each other in any way possible and work on collaborative projects.

We define "the core" as people that join forces to create a common output. We need to act, connect, create and work together to affect and improve society’s understanding of the importance of art.

"Collusion" in the market is usually with poor intentions. For example in cooperate to raise prices over time above competitive levels. This has been done in almost any industry, including the music industry. Our ulterior motive is to research ways of colluding with independent artists and uncover possibilities for them to make a return for their work.

As a first step we decided that all profits will be equally divided between the participating artists.
