Magda initially connected with T.B. Arthur while he was working at Hard Wax, the infamous Berlin record store. Their first release reflected a shared fascination with live electronics. Blotter Trax then evolved into a driving main floor act with releases on Frustrated Funk (via Rotterdam’s legendary Clone Records), a UK live debut at Fabric, London and their first live tour of Japan. 

Blotter Trax are currently recording an album, featuring contributions from artists including Nina Hynes, Ilhem Khodja, Hannes Strobl and Shigeru Tanabu. Magda and T.B. Arthur recently premiered their new Blotter Trax live set in Berlin and Sofia, featuring this new material. 

Thank you: Sonder Sara, Antonia, Iliyan, Natalie, Maxi Storrs and everyone who came to party that night, what fantastic energy!

Optimo Music proudly presents “Super Conductor”, a double album by Blotter Trax, out June 23rd.
The collaborative project between techno titan Magda, serial underground aggravator Jay Ahern (aka T.B Arthur) and bassist Hannes Strobl, Blotter Trax’s debut album is a pulsating, thrill-in-minute ride that charts the ongoing dancefloor evolution of a band whose days of mystery and mischief are now a distant memory.
While rooted in electro and acid, the album is impressively low-slung, stylish and funky, with nods towards Blotter Trax’s mutual love of Arthur Russell, early ‘80s NYC downtown disco, leftfield new-wave pop and flash-fried punk-funk.
