Baly - Tech Dailey
Fractious - Known Expression
Sean Cunningham - Lock 909
Lattenheim - Chroma


Four different artists, four brand-new Ace Trax added to the series. Kicking things off is Slovenian talent Baly with his super-fat techno funk bomb, Tech Dailey. Next up is Fractious, delivering a no-nonsense stab-driven track that hits hard. Then we have Sean Cunningham, making his SWAY debut and giving us a taste of what’s to come, his full EP. And finally, Sascha Milde returns under his alias Lattenheim, taking us back to the early days of techno, but with a fresh, modern twist.  

Once again, four massive tracks, or as we like to call them, Ace Trax!

Ace Trax Volume 5

Ace Trax Volume 5 - SWAY 71

Belfast-based label boss Fractious returns to RAW WORX with a blistering new release titled 'Riddle Master EP' – a masterclass in tension, groove and deep hypnotic pressure. Known for his relentless drive, groove and synth layering, Fractious continues to forge his reputation across the global techno landscape with this powerful statement of intent.

The EP opens with the title track 'Riddle Master', a dark, pulsating journey filled with shifting textures, brooding low-end and evolving synth patterns that capture the essence of warehouse techno. It's a mind-bending cut aimed straight at the dancefloor’s peak hours.

Following this is ‘Encrypted Thought’, a razor-sharp roller that combines crisp percussion with psychedelic loops and intricate modulation, showcasing Fractious’ signature sound – raw yet refined.

With support already building from key techno tastemakers and DJs across the circuit, 'Riddle Master EP' solidifies Fractious’ place as one of the scene’s most consistent and innovative producers. This is raw, no-compromise techno for purists and pioneers alike.

RAW WORX returns with a relentless new outing from German producer BR!NK (Evilgroove Records, Safe Space, Synergie), who delivers the Slope EP - a bold exploration of hypnotic repetition and stripped-back, high-impact techno.

This release is built for the purists: rolling low-end, gritty textures, and mind-bending loops that lock in and don't let go. From the pulsing tension of the title track to the deep, mechanic flow of the other weapons, BR!NK captures the essence of late-night warehouse energy.

Duncan Hiddink joins the EP for a sound assault with his debut into the techno world with the collab 'Edgy Siren' and Label boss Fractious (SWAY/KD RAW/Unrilis) steps in on remix duty, reworking Slope into a driving, percussive peak-time weapon - fusing raw power with surgical precision.

Another heavyweight addition to the RAW WORX catalogue - essential for those pushing the darker edges of the techno spectrum.

Label feedback & support comes from Truncate, Drumcomplex, Pan-Pot, Ramon Tapia, Len Faki, Anthony Pappa, Anja Schneider, Slam, Balthazar & JackRock, Cristian Varela, Kaiserdisco, Hollen, Paco Osuna, Simina Grigoriu, Markantonio, Mauro Picotto, Sinisa Tamamovic, John Selway, Ignacio Arfeli, DJ Boris, Irregular Synth, Stiv Hey, Kaiser Souzia, Stacey Pullen, Electric Rescue, Steve Sai, Sisko Electrofanatik and many more

UK based Fractious (Stephen Garrett) has firmly fitted himself into the international techno community over the last few years, providing his own unique blend of groove based techno.  Having caught the attention of Christian Smith, he immediately signed him to his powerhouse label Tronic and a few months after selected for the annual Tronic Allstars VA.  Kevin Saunderson followed suit signing Fractious to his KMS Records, Victor Calderone for his Matter label, DJ Boris for his Transmit Recordings and lately Kaiserdisco for their KD RAW label.

One track as such from Dynamo was used in an Official Minus Tour Video and was the first track in Richie Hawtin's BBC Radio One Essential Mix recorded live from Enter @ Space, Ibiza.

Fractious can be regularly found on other well-established labels such as Trapez, Waveform Recordings, Matter, MKT, Funk'n Deep, Loose Records, Gem Records, Pornographic, Night Light to name a few.

Fukuda, Peter Bailey, Etai Terazi all jumping at remix requests and always being approached by big labels and podcast sites.
