'Tangolunda' is the cosmic new EP from @troykurtz, and the second release for Pulp Trax.

Drawing off inspiration from a surf trip to an Indian village in Mexico lost in time, this spacey EP has an uplifting and nurturing vibe that is a marriage between ambient landscapes and dance floor sensibilities.

The sound design and layering of vocals, global drum samples and celestial pads will bring joy and a psychedelic sense of togetherness as we begin to see a glimmer of light after the world has been upside down for the last year.

Through a cosmic conjuring, two long lost buds came together during the extended groundhog's day of quarantine and created a maelstrom of tracks. Of course, we're talking about the already prolific @lubelski (Dirtybird, Crosstown Rebels, Desert Hearts etc. etc.) and label dad @troykurtz.

Chemistry between the two struck like a lightning bolt, and the onslaught of music poured out in a harmonious fashion. 

'Plasmatics' is the heavyweight slammer of the bunch. Buff with 100 tons of sub bass and growl, this breaky behemoth also wears a gossamer layer of modulated synths and articulate sound design for the yin to the very strong yang.

'Flight of the Pygmies' also comes correct with a flurry of drum breaks, but it's the thick and humid bassline accompanied by barrage of lush samples that'll make you feel like you're in a real life game of JUMANJI with Robin Williams (RIP you blessed soul).

'Spaghettification' might be hard to spell but it's easy on the ear canals. The guys slow things down for a psychedelic chugger complete with a massive Prophet breakdown, modular ear candy and tasty guitar licks that'll be just ripe enough for the next vampire disco.

'Afternoon French Press' rounds out the EP, and is the floatiest of the bunch. This roller has the pungent musk of a dark roast, but is a well-balanced caffeine high perfect for warm and breezy afternoon pick me up. Come for the whimsical melody, stay for the beautiful french poem.

The inaugural take is always the best. Straight from the hip. Straight to the heart. Full of passion. Devoid of pretension. 

Enter Pulp.Fm volume 1 mixed by @troykurtz 

Enter the first installment of a series that hopes to break up the monotony of thumpin' club mixes. Think of it as a highly listenable yet slightly terrestrial wave of sounds ranging from acid jazz to Prince and cosmic disco to 3am floaty rollers. 

Combining the uber hip club tunes of the future (Burial/Floating Points/Red Axes) wedged between iconic tracks from the likes of Boards of Canada and Daft Punk, the flavor profile lands like a fine gruyere and pinot noir.

PULP.FM is great for psychedelic dance parties in your friend's living room, road trips to anywhere else, or on your at home speaker system while you check emails and question your existence on this floating ball of sand and feelings.

PULP.FM 01 ~ mixed by Troy Kurtz

Can lightning actually strike the same spot twice? Is bigfoot real? Can you really bottle up a mess of feelings and nervous excitement and spew it out into a 2hr08 minute mixtape? We say YES.

So here we are with the second evolution of PULP.FM mixed by @troykurtz

With one hand firmly massaging the nostalgia of lost sounds and landscapes, the other yanks at futuristic tracks for a vision of clubland that drifts about in our minds like a recurring dream, so vivid yet so out of reach.

PULP.FM is great for psychedelic dance parties in your friend's living room, road trips to anywhere else, or on your at home speaker system while you check emails and question your existence on this floating ball of sand and feelings.

Enjoy the ride, and get ready for TANGOLUNDA//PULP02 which lands Feb. 26.
