Lost Trax – Lost Trax 2 [ID026]
The Scsi-Av label has been dormant for what seems like an eternity, their self-imposed silence at long last broken by this gorgeous 2-track follow-up to the excellent ‘Lost Trax’ Ep released back in 2007. Penned by an unknown technician described only as “a highly respected master…” ‘Lost Trax 2’ slots into that lush terrain where classic Detroit Techno and electro come together, the kind of material produced by Carl Craig in the early 1990’s and more recently beloved of Convextion’s ERP side project.

Jus-Ed and Underground Quality take it to the Next Level with UQ-031! Next Level brings together ten previously unreleased tracks, and as you might have expected from a man who very much does things in his own lovable fashion, Ed pretty much makes no stylistic concessions on the album, instead continuing on his path of classic-leaning deeper house.
