Inc. Exium and Aiken remixes
Format: Vinyl and Digital
Releases November 19, 2021

The two original cuts on the B side from Jheal Bashta are exploited as raw material by Aiken and Exium to create two outstanding remixes, which are a faithful and genuine reflection of a bygone era. We’re thrilled to welcome Aiken and Exium to Traces Records.
The four Spaniards ready their hydraulic hammers to shake the ground with four cuts of classic 90s techno, melancholic electro and touches of IDM.
Next to this ore body, there is a digi-only track with a suffocating atmosphere and coalripping bass line, called “Seismicity”.

All tracks written & produced by Jheal Bashta (Alejandro Torre), remixed by Aiken (Alfonso López) and Exium (Héctor Sandoval and Valentín Corujo).
Mastered by Koschitzky, excluding "Seismicity (Original mix)".

Metapattern - Torqueo [Premiere I ISSXII.V]

Berlin based LXM steps in for our 155th Local Selection Mix with a carefully crafted techno mix. LXM has provided a masterclass three deck mix, full of incessant loops and grooves to soundtrack your Paddy’s Eve.

Louis McElveen has been hard at work in the studio, carving out a refined techno sound since his move to Berlin. LXM has been putting a large emphasis on hardware and minimal grooves into his productions, and this is shining right through to his DJ mixes.

Formally part of Armed Response Unit with longtime friend Will Boyle, Louis has shifted his style from industrial techno to a more stripped back and classic style of techno. Taking inspiration from artists such as Kaiser, Mattrixman, Dasha Rush and more, Louis has been working tirelessly to perfect this sound but with his own unique flavour.

While LXM has been quiet on the release front, he has a four track EP dropping on a Berlin label shortly, which is absolutely fantastic and shall be a perfect introduction to his newfound sound. The young producer will also be forming a new label, that will incorporate Irish producers and producers from afar to his deep vision. LXM also recently guested for fellow Dublin producer Aero’s Alternating Vitality show on 1020 Radio and the mix is an absolute cracker.

LXM’s Four Four mix is a prime example of Louis’s dedication to his craft over the last year. Never ending grooves and loops for an hour. Louis keeps the pace up and goes between tough and deep grooves, keeping an ever constant flow that doesn’t lean too heavy to either side. This is sublime mixing and selecting from a young techno craftsman at work.

Local selection Mix 156: LXM

Paris’ dc11 is back on data roaming records with a solo ep this time. Three original tracks and a remix by Jacobworld. Hello Sunshine is a full forward loop that takes no time to bring you up to speed, raspy and punchy. Deep is all rolling bass and has a subaquatic edge to it while still remaining forceful and dancefloor oriented. The EP’s title track is a mostly percussive affair, summoning the mighty power of the drum machine with reverbs breathing in and out for added atmosphere. Finally, Jacobworld’s remix of Deep makes you want to plunge head first into the night, managing to up the pressure from the original track while making it even… deeper.

dc11 - Whitewater EP
Hello Sunshine - 4:11
Deep - 5:15
Whitewater - 5:44
Deep (Jacobworld Remix) - 5:17
