Bizarre Trax with Duowe & Jhobei - 31 July 2024

As a Christmas gift, we invite you to listen a recording from the latest Chant Des Oiseaux: the superb set by Oliver.r, English producer & member of Felon5.
It was played on the last day of the festival, that precise moment when the birds take the time to go down from the great heavens. 

It's the first in a series of sets that we will be releasing on the Atipik Soundcloud page that we're happy to share with you. 

We wish you a good listening experience, adapted for long driving journeys but also for more attentive listening during those long winter evenings. 

The Atipik team 💜

Jhobei - Jive Bomb! (Hip House Mix)

exclusive | Oliver.r - What You Got (Deep Dub) | Bizarre Trax

Oliver.r's "What You Got (Deep Dub)" stands out as a refined deep, minimal groover on the "5 Years VA EP", a digital compilation celebrating Bizarre Trax's half-decade of eclectic sounds. The track skillfully balances subtlety and sophistication, making it a versatile addition to the label’s milestone release.

Built on a sleek, Minimal House foundation, "What You Got (Deep Dub)" demonstrates Oliver.r's precision in crafting grooves that feel both understated and dynamic. The bassline delivers a steady pulse, anchoring the track’s momentum, without overwhelming the mix. The standout element is the vocoder-treated "What You Got" vocal snippet, which adds a futuristic edge, subtly weaving in and out with an effortless cool. The vocals never dominate but rather enhance the track’s allure, offering a classy nod to house’s timeless aesthetics.

This deep dub excursion embodies Bizarre Trax's ethos, seamlessly combining party-ready elements with a deeper, introspective vibe. Perfect for setting the tone in an intimate club setting or adding depth to a warm-up set, "What You Got (Deep Dub)" reflects the label's commitment to curating sounds that resonate on both a physical and emotional level.

Overall, the track pays homage to the label’s roots while pointing toward a progressive future—an ideal way to mark five years of Bizarre Trax. Oliver.r’s contribution is both a celebration and a reminder of why the imprint remains a staple in minimal house circles.

exclusive | Acid Chaz - Seasonal Quartet | The Acid Chaz Chronicles

Acid Chaz, the alias of Charles Tucker, takes a nostalgic dive into early HipHop aesthetics with "The Acid Chaz Chronicles", a four-tracker that showcases his deep appreciation for the genre’s roots. "Seasonal Quartet," the most evocative cut from the release, is a downtempo gem that seamlessly blends HipHop with dreamy, cinematic textures.

Built upon a rich tapestry of sampled scratches and vintage HipHop samples, the track exudes a warm, analog charm that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Acid Chaz curates these elements with a crate-digger’s touch, layering them into a lush instrumental that could easily serve as a foundation for MCs or R&B vocalists. Yet, even in its purely instrumental form, "Seasonal Quartet" unfolds like a story—its mellow groove pulling the listener into a reflective state before reaching a subtle but significant turning point toward the end.

Charles Tucker’s versatility shines through, as his Acid Chaz persona contrasts with his more club-oriented output under Charleze and his contributions to the Felon5 trio (alongside Jhobei and Oliver.r). His ties to Bizarre Trax are evident in the production, where every element feels carefully considered, yet effortlessly organic.

"Seasonal Quartet" is a beautiful and introspective piece—one that bridges the past and present while offering a moment of calm amidst the chaos of modern electronic music A track that leaves a lasting impression.

exclusive | Jhobei - Imperfection | TAN

To mark its tenth digital release, the Bizarre Trax-affiliated TAN label unveils TAN Trax All Stars - a ten-track celebration that feels more like a love letter to the crew’s extended musical family than a mere compilation. What started as a playful outlet parallel to the more curated, wax-driven Bizarre Trax has evolved into a fully formed identity of its own: cheeky, groove-soaked, and ever dancefloor-minded.

Opening this milestone release is “Imperfection” by Jhobei - not just TAN royalty, but one of the driving forces behind Bizarre Trax itself. With past outings on FUSE, Up The Stuss, Locked In, Mood Waves, BinarySound, and more, Jhobei’s sound has become a trademark: a hybrid of housey warmth, technical precision, and just enough cheek to make you smile mid-mix.

“Imperfection” doesn’t knock at the door - it slips through the cracks like golden hour light, casting long shadows of funk and warmth across the floor. A nimble House bassline sets the pulse, elastic but grounded, wrapped in fluttering pads and tight, swung percussion. The titular vocal - clipped, unfussy - drops in almost as an afterthought, but anchors the track like a mantra. Jhobei adds just enough synth variation to keep the groove shapeshifting, always teasing, never overplaying its hand.

Like much of Jhobei’s work, “Imperfection” doesn’t beg to be heard - it just feels like it’s always been there, waiting to soundtrack a hazy morning after or a peak-time wiggle. As far as mission statements go, it’s a perfect opener for an imprint built on community, playfulness, and groove without ego.

Ten releases deep, TAN’s personality is sharper than ever - and “Imperfection” is a reminder that sometimes the smoothest things come with just the right amount of grit.
