What better way to mark the 20th anniversary of Tronic, his forward-thinking label, than creating a new artist album? Christian Smith stands out as one of the worlds leading exponents of inventive, diverse techno and Stranger Than Paradise continues his enthralling, ever-evolving musical journey with aplomb. The fact that Tronic is one of the Top 5 selling techno labels in the world is a mark of a man who stands for nothing less than pure quality. 
Having previously released benchmark, critically acclaimed LPs Omakase (2013) and Directors Cut (2010) Christian Smith is no stranger to creating supreme, danceoor orientated albums, that explore and showcase his diverse musical style. Both as a DJ and producer, he is always innovative and bold, a leader not a follower. 
Alongside the jaw-dropping excellence of the solo tracks, this new album also features dynamic, inventive collaborations with Wehbba (Christians great friend and regular collaborator), the New York based house music legend Cevin Fisher, long-time studio collaborator John Selway (of Smith &amp; Selway fame), and Christians childhood friend and hip-hop artist Arcturus Ra. 
The Stranger Than Paradise album project will be unveiled rst as four singles released at weekly intervals through the month of October, with the full album release following in the rst week of November on 12 vinyl and digital formats. An album remix pack will be released in December.

Eerie murmurs and a punching kick greet you in the first few seconds and that sets the tone for the venomous cut. After a minute the rigorous low-end rumbles and bumps into the frame and before long it's all out warfare.

The whole thing explodes and once all the elements are introduced there's no turning back, you're placed slap bang in the danger zone. It's savage but boy is it brilliant.

Premiere: Pig&Dan 'Funk Of The Moog'

'Galaxy' is a thunderous cut to say the least and has rumbling, tribal percussion at its very core. Add to that thick, brooding drops, emotion-laced vocals and a venomous acidic twang and you've got a track that's equipped to do serious damage. 

The deeper, darker sound the producer has been pushing has once again been applied to this new one and we're confident you're going to love it.

Martinet - Terra

Exciting rising talent Oscar L makes his debut on Truesoul.

The Spanish artist has been whiling his craft for over a decade, with recent standout releases on Suara and Elevate. He’s inducted into the pantheon of Truesoul artists with a plump three-tracker titled ‘Konfusion’, the cuts featuring in recent episodes of Drumcode Live and marking Oscar L as one to watch for fans. 

The title track ‘Konfusion’ is a punchy peak-time cut, packed full of energy that’s driven by a tension-inducing build up, while still maintaining the essential groove-ridden appeal that Truesoul is renowned for. A track that encapsulated the delicious chugging swing of Adam Beyer’s recent Cavo Paradiso gig in Mykonos. The package ensures its versatility with ‘Together’; With a cheeky ‘90s house vocal, stunning subterranean drums and rousing atmospheric break that proved a stunning highlight when Beyer dropped it at Loveland Festival in August. Concluding with ‘Synesthesia’, the track is marked by fierce drum work and a rippling dubby bassline, a rich sensory stimulation for the eardrums, staying true to its name.
