Premiere: Precolumbian & Estoc - Juniper

It's getting hot in here with three new perreo cuts from Miami's finest Nick León.

Following a string of self-released EPs and an appearance on NAAFI, Nick León returns to Tra Tra Trax later this week - recalling the first sonic encounters on the radio when they were kids and sampling vocals from some of their childhood idols. He's also invited Henzo, Kelman Duran and Maral to put their spin on the tracks. 

Nick León previously released on Tra Tra Trax last year with a collaborative record alongside Bitter Babe who made her production debut. He’s a prolific producer and sound designer in his own right, known for mixing organic textures with club polyrhythms and sci-fi sound design. One of our favourite producers, Nick is also affiliated with Space Tapes Miami and has worked on records with INVT, Lao, Kaxien, LTAV, PRJCTN and more. 

Based in Colombia, Tra Tra Trax is run by Nyksan, Defuse and Veracco and was launched in July 2020 with an EP from DJ Pai. Since then they have released records from Luca Durán and OCTUBRXLIBRV as well as featured remixes from Florentino, AYA, Ikonika, BADSISTA and more. 

‘Rompediscoteka’ by Nick León is out on the 1st October via Tra Tra Trax - pre-order here: https://tratratrax.bandcamp.com/album/rompediscoteka

PREMIERE: Galtier - My Mess is a Face (Infinite Machine)

Stone Coaster

Ovid, Doubt & Tension - The Palace

Galtier makes his second return to his own label with a 5-track offering of off-kilter, obscure electronic madness aptly titled 'Imitation Plantae'. Inspired by the idea of man-made imitations attempting to capture the essence of natural beauty. Galtier's take on this very concept manifests itself through the ever-present sense of unease that is evident across all five tracks. The melodies drift in and out of tune, ever so slightly, ultimately sounding pleasing but always fleeting in their general aura of pleasantness.

A showcase of Galtier's breadth of confidence across a huge span of BPMs and rhythmic influences that is showcased on his sophomore NHS release, reflecting the sense of uncertainty conveyed through the Intentionally awry mood throughout.

‘Half-Dead Orchid Still Breathing’ is a stripped back thudding piece designed for a futuristic cyber-Zaibatsu Police chase scene. Dense 808 subs thunder with spacious yet present tom drums as hollow synthetic sounds reverberate in between. It carries low end weight and steps with an almighty poly-rhythmic flow.

Fraxinus - Powerplant Blue
Label: Powerplant
Catalog #: POW3R
Format: Digital Data (Vinyl TBA)
Release Date: 20/05/22

Another colour on the spectrum — Fraxinus delivers a further batch of industrial strength trax with his new EP Powerplant Blue. This is the latest in a series of colour-coded, no-frills white labels on his self-release imprint Powerplant.

Blue sees Fraxinus push the BPM range from previous releases, whilst retaining the same propulsive energy & lean aesthetics he’s known for. X-side up, ‘Interlock’ initiates the sequence with an uncompromising high-tempo workout. The raucous rhythm section rolls like thunder, a formidable breakdown supplying the only moment of respite. Second track ‘Frame Stall’ follows suit with its pounding kicks, upon which an insistent bleep unfolds restlessly.

Flipping to side Y, ‘Uplink’ makes for a dizzying listening experience — deep rolling bass frequencies & an elastic synth being pulled apart before the ears. Despite its bouncing beat, final track ‘Prow’ is a moodier affair. Skittering hihats & distant sirens echo through the mist, rounding out the collection in a heads-down fashion.

4 cuts of armour-plated techno, optimized for maximum warehouse utility — Powerplant Blue will be released 20/05/22 on digital download (vinyl TBA), distributed by Cargo Records.

Partiendo de inspiración visual, Norman Maldonado aka Octoptic regresa con la continuación de Frontera, siete pistas que plasman la evolución del artista con relación a su trabajo previo. 
Contorno Rojo delimita el poderoso sonido que es resaltado por las habilidades técnicas del talentoso productor. La ya característica distorsión se hace presente en cada segundo escuchado; las filosas percusiones se compenetran con las bajas frecuencias y la garantía de que lo que escuchas resonará en ti.

English

“Contorno Rojo” is the new EP-isode from producer, mixer, sound designer and WVWV label boss Octoptic. It explores everything from terrestrial landscapes of different latitudes to extraterrestrial sound worlds consisting of encounters in other time and space. 
Showcasing an amalgam of styles, some tunes are for contemporary-dancehall use only while others feel aesthetically experimental but they all share a common denominator: they are all relentlessly rhythmic fully fledged dance creations.
Norman Maldonado follows the style which he is known for and it’s much appreciated in his own label. The watermark of the producer is fully marked on each track which is an anecdote by itself. The artist does not stick to monotonous tracks, every section is ever-changing so no track structure is absolute.
Prepare yourself for a pinch of Octoptic’s cultural heritage that conforms the future sound of this newer Mexican scene consisting of conceptual albums for open-minded clubs and audiences.

PREMIERE #39 Octoptic - Litoral (WAVA WAVA)

Milpa 

El agrosistema mesoamericano conocido como “milpa” es el punto de partida del nuevo trabajo firmado por DJ Fucci. Cada tema toma su nombre de uno de los cultivos que lo conforman. Maiz, chile, frijol y calabaza. El nombre milpa deriva del náhuatl milli, parcela sembrada, y pan, encima, en. Literalmente, “lo que se siembra encima de la parcela”. 

Dando continuidad a “fauna” su primer EP editado por el sello mexicano, DJ Fucci continúa imaginando a qué suenan las referencias endémicas. Temas de club sustentable, que resisten y se sostienen entre ellos. Llamémosle permacultura. Sonidos ricos en significado, inspirados en la naturaleza.
