You are listening to atmospheric mixes and new tracks of some of the most talented DJs and producers and the finest music connoisseurs and record diggers out there.

No matter how well known they already are, they all deliver exceptional tracks and sets for you that feature the best these underground and hard to pin down genres have to offer: what you get is a mind-expanding fusion of Italo-, Space-, Magico- & Dark Disco, Indie Dance, Italo Body Music / Italo Trance, Dirty Bouncy Midtempo, Synthwave, Cold Wave, EBM, Psychedelic-, Progressive-, Acid- & Organic House & some Melodic Techno.  

The series is featuring mixes by artists like Curses, Shubostar, Cabaret Nocturne, Local Suicide, Hardway Bros and +350 more. 

It is about a hypnotic journey through space, dimensions and time, a uplifting voyage through astral, etheric and magical frequencies - and above all: it is a wild, colorful, energetic, futuristic, artistic ride into human emotions, ranging from fear, sadness & rage to enthusiasm, joy & euphoria. It's all in there, so mix vibes will vary.

The series is inspired by Daniele Baldelli's Cosmic mixes, 1970s Psychedelic-, Prog- & Kraut-Rock, New Wave & Space Disco, 1980s Italo Disco, Synth-Pop, Cold Wave, Minimal Wave, Post-Punk & New Beat, 1990s Balearica, Goa & Psy Trance, Leftfield, Acid & Tribal House and 2000s Electroclash, Funk-Punk & NuDisco.

Los Angeles-based DJ & Producer.

Prog, House, Trance, and everything in between.

Palms Trax signals the arrival of his new label CWPT with ‘Petu’, a new single featuring South African vocalist, Nonku Phiri. Originally debuting in dub form during the Berlin-based DJ and producer’s set at The Music Locker as part of Grand Theft Auto Online, ‘Petu’ reemerges here as a soulful collaboration, neatly complimented by a wide-eyed take from Masalo.

Initially written as a slow-heating instrumental to connect the various musical dots across a DJ set, Palms Trax nonetheless had a vocalist in mind throughout, a fresh voice to lend ‘Petu’ universality and energy. Introduced through mutual friend Esa, Johannesburg’s Nonku Phiri draws on her signature style influenced by vintage Afropop styles and folk traditions, delivering a smooth and vulnerable tale of desire. Triumphant brass recorded by instrumental collective Jungle By Night adds to the depth of instrumentation and feeling throughout, each element driven by Palms Trax’s ebullient percussion and an altogether celebratory energy felt across both the original and dub cuts.

Closely associated with Dutch dance music staple Rush Hour Records, Masalo subtly raises the tempo on his high-energy rework of Petu, spinning off the interconnected elements of the original into a memorable and gloriously Italo-tinged house trip.

Established in 2021, CWPT will play home to Palms Trax original productions alongside collaborations, mixtapes, new-generation artists and vital reissues. An online blog will feature interviews, reportage and charts exploring the stories past and present at the fringe of Palms Trax’s wide-reaching record collection.
