This Is Trax Vol.1 – A brand new concept album series launched via the Toolroom Records sub label that showcases the spectrum of sound that the label is now renowned for. The ethos is simple, straight up club tracks, made by DJ’s for DJ’s on the underground tech house and techno circuit.

The remit of Trax has always been about both nurturing new talent, while also shining a light on producers who consistently create forward-thinking and well-crafted club music. The tracklist of this album certainly reflects this mantra - with cuts from well respected heads such as ATFC, Piemont, Pablo Say and DJ Fronter, alongside fresh names Acid Skys, Vangelis Kostoxenakis and Landmark. An essential collection of fresh underground Tech House and Techno -  This is Trax - Volume 1.
 

DJ Fronter - Clapter

Drawing influence from his love of the early 2000's Deep Tech-House scene and twisting it with todays more familiar feel of Dub, Minimal, Deeper edged Techno, Valpy manipulates sounds into what he feels is right for the darker clubs & dance floors, creating a sound that does not follow suit, bending a few 'rules' along the way...

Using his many Clubbing experiences over the years in the UK, Ibiza, Amsterdam & beyond, Valpy has developed a passion for raw emotion filled techno, often challenging the sub woofers with his bass heavy touch, without busting the bank on the tempo front. A balance of 'good vs evil' can often be witnessed in a Valpy Techno piece

Fascinated with pitch & bass, Valpy has moulded and evolved his sound into what he produces today, recently gaining support from Pig & Dan, Ramiro Lopez, Dubspeeka & Matt Minimal, who also contribute to the style & development of his tracks, along with Alan Fitzpatrick, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati & Carlo Lio

Having had 2 EP's released on dubspeekas Skeleton Label and also with Seva Records, Plunk, Lethal Script & Berberris in 2014 alone, Valpy's sound has now been recognised by fast up and coming label Gain Records, (supported by the likes of Richie Hawtin) with a Solo Artist Album due for release in April 2015. There are also further releases on Skeleton and new outfit Kitchen Smoke pencilled in over the next couple of months too

To close, Valpy aims to produce music he wants to hear on the same dance floors that he frequented over the years, experimenting along the way to produce his own unique blend, with the odd twist & turn along the way...
