VOITRX 01 by @rizlaops

„Apparatus“ is Rizla Ops’ debut EP on Voitax, a deeply personal creation born swiftly amidst the heartbreak of losing a close friend, Ollie Mazgaj. Crafted during a period of introspection, the EP became an anchor, the only thing that felt right in a world detached from the club and daily routine.
Sonically diverse, „Apparatus“ explores techno, drill, amapiano, grime, and garage, maintaining a common thread of dissonance, functionality, and groove. The title track, „Apparatus, stands out as an outlier in Rizla Ops’ discography, featuring big melodic moments that capture the raw emotions of the artist at that particular time. Despite his usual preference for conveying ideas through rhythm and sound design, this EP marks a turning point, hinting at future experiments with melody and harmony.
„Apparatus“ is more than a collection of tracks; it’s a sonic journey through genres, emotions, and personal growth—a testament to Rizla Ops’ dedication to pushing boundaries and creating immersive, thought-provoking electronic music.

VOITRX 02 by MXC (@Spitskool)

The Berlin-based record label Voitax is gearing up for a notable release as MXC’s highly anticipated EP, ‘Tik Tik,’ hits the scene. This collaboration marks the fusion of Maroki and Coralie’s unique musical perspectives, cast during the challenges of a world in lockdown.

MXC’s EP, ‘Tik Tik’, is a testament to creative resilience, presenting a sonic journey through uncharted territories of drum and bass. Crafted meticulously in two separate studios during a year marked by isolation and introspection, the EP showcases MXC’s versatile artistry. From the repurposed grime breakbeat hybrid of ‘Tik Tik’ to the relentless industrial chug of ‘Swarm’ and the delicate balance between IDM and club-focused broken drum & bass in ‘Aiven’ and ‘Crabby,’ each track captivates with intricate complexity. The EP culminates in the IDM exploration of ‘PS,’ where Maroki’s vocals intertwine with synths, creating a poignant finale that leaves a lasting imprint on listeners.

Awkward Attraction’ captures Monstera Black’s exploration of both embracing and deconstructing pop music. The EP starts off with ‘system’, a piece that echoes a classic song structure while anticipating an unconventional sonic palette, setting the stage for the impending unraveling process that reaches its culmination in the final track, ‘who’s a hoe?.’. As the journey unfolds, traditional structures progressively give way to a stream of consciousness, where motif-driven improvisation and softly sung melodies collide with a darker club and experimental soundscape masterfully crafted by ‘alys(alys)alys.’ The lyrics, infused with provocation and sarcasm, delve into themes of existence and vulnerability, presented through warped vocals and repetitive hooks. Awkward Attraction crafts a taunting atmosphere, challenging listeners to embark on a reflective journey.

VOI 031 "What?" by @imogensmusic. 

While having created her own signature sound inside the DJ booth, she has now also moved her vision on music into the
studio. After two successful collaborations with Ben Pest on labels such as Earwiggle, a self released collaboration on her own label Wigs, and multiple single released tracks on different VA’s, IMOGEN now lands her first solo EP »What?« on Voitax.
According to her own description, this EP is her first bulk of music after having experienced a persistent writing blockage during the pandemic. While eventually being isolated for five days, each of these tracks were produced in a stream of inspiration. The EP presents a strong package of five tracks that clearly reflect the influence of her homelands prosperous electronic music heritage.
A distinguished set of breaks are fusioned with Electro, IDM, and Hardcore without ever loosing touch to its groovy rhythmics. While this release is certainly loaded with strong dance floor material, the quality of her production process remains remarkable. The roughness and edginess of the entire EP reveal a strong connection to her 808 and modular system, that helped to create unique textures and granular soundscapes. Instead of resampling UK sample packs over and over again, IMOGEN is ambitious to create her own signature sound through a sequence of personalized studio equipment. With this approach she manages to fusion a punky style of 90’s rave culture with sophisticated futuristic sound processing. Each track meets a different atmosphere, as the approach to rhythm, speed, sound and arrangement evolves from the beginning to the end - yet, they all remain part of the same story.

Contributing to the Directors Cut series are core label members, friends, and artists who have supported VOITAX over the years. Each contributor is selected for their unique sound and bold vision. This series is not bound to any genre. The label encourages contributors to step outside the ordinary – anything goes!

The first edition will feature tracks from VOITAX veterans Swarm Intelligence and Rory St. John alongside new contributors, who need little introduction, Rave Or Die boss, Umwelt and Downwards affiliates, Talker.

Umwelt opens up proceedings on the A-side with Time Crystal. An epic arpeggiated journey that climaxes into an apocalyptic electro cut – a style that the producer is celebrated for in both his productions and DJ sets. Rory St. John’s track Rotoscopus  bears all the nuances of contemporary electro, its chassis rife with swing and melody pausing only for moments, to brandish a tough, techno skeleton beneath.

Talker’s Inchoate lays down a piercing, percussive skirmish which serves as ode to techno minimalism.This stripped-back piece is a testament to the virility of a strong, dynamic groove. Swarm Intelligence brings the Various Artist to a close with Cumulus, a jungle-indebted slab of cinematic electronica. Densely textured, its grainy synths provide occasional flickers of light in an otherwise bleak dystopia.

Releases will be on 12” vinyl, hand-stamped and limited to 300 copies.
