For its third release, GRACE is stoked to get @lurka on the dials. On ‘Signal’, the Bristol head serves up a classy four-course menu of bass oddities primed and tested for club misdemeanour. 
The result is a spread of hyperdistinct energies channelled through weirdo wubs, skippy incantations, rude halftime drum power and fast funky bliss.

Pre-order on Bandcamp now. 
Out 6th June 2025

Erik Strauss starts as a DJ and music producer in 2009. Is mostly known for his instrumental trip-hop/downtempo composition.
He has published many singles and EPs under Level One Records, Nuit Blanche, Ubiquity Records and Deep Electronics.
His favourite artists (David Bowie, Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Aphex Twin) push him to experiment and evolve each time. Nowadays, after the 2023 "FTUR" ambient/experimental release, is getting even more minimal/deep tech.
