The Return of Random XS
A side: Errant (feat. Binaural) 11:49
B side: Truant (feat. Lost Trax) 9:53
Released on Shipwrec (SHIP032), Dec 2015. First run in red vinyl.

Shipwrec is turning back the clock and paying deserved respect to a giant in Dutch acid. Active in the 90s, Random XS delivered high octane, 303 drenched techno on the trailblazing Djax-Up-Beats like few others could.

"Errant" and "Truant" have been reclaimed from '97, the first seeing them team up with fellow Djaxer Binaural with the latter being a collaboration with Lost Trax (of Tabernacle fame.) The emblematic TB-303 is at the heart of the EP. Acid lines melt and reform behind distant bleeps for "Errant". Lush chords ebb behind scuttling hi-hats in a deep journey of subaquatic electronics. "Truant" keeps that bubbling energy, teetering on the boundary between techno and ambient the track leads the listener deeper and deeper into a sonic labyrinth.

An historic EP of texture and thump.

I've been composing stuff for a long time now. Started out on a Philips MSX sound system and started buying hardware to connect to my Atari as soon as money allowed. This resulted in three releases:

Binaural - Unison EP (Djax-up-beats 298) 
Binaural - Switch EP (Scsi-AV 018)
Random XS - The Return ('Errant', colab with Random XS) (Ship032)
More coming up...
