VA – Words From The Medium [RMTV003]
Remote presest a four track various artist EP including Haze N Adaze aka Lady Blacktronika, Kammerton, Perseus Traxx and Lakumer.
Vape / Vulcano – Muscle 002 [MUSCLE002]
Vape is the new Italo-techno project of the Riviera band. Their first tracks range from the charming pop womanly appeal of “Antonello” to the pesticidal harshness of “Raid”, across the gross provincial anthem “Radioactivo”. Vulcano is the joint venture of Marco Shuttle and Perseus Traxx with the Vape manufacturers at the Brenta Studios. Their poisonous bits sprayed on this 12″ are the state of the art in pest control. These cats are really pushing things forwards here, the B-side especially is some out-there sonic manipulation. “Ugly Faders” reinforcing the feelings one might get if trapped in a malfunctioning space station. “Vulvano” continues the anti-gravity aesthetic and smudges the whole thing in a thick acid wash.
Perseus Traxx – Tales From The Night Sky Part 1 [MOS018]
After his excellent and well-received Coded Emotion EP on the MOS label in late 2011, analogue fetishist Perseus Traxx returns for another MOS outing. It finds the producer in similarly classic mode, exploring the deep down depths of house and techno in his own fuzzy and hugely atmospheric way. ‘Gorgon’ has widescreen synths, tightly coiled synth lines and jagged beats all tussling with each other, whilst ‘Poseidon’s Monster’ is about chattering claps hanging above a synth line that twists and turns, implodes and explodes at whim. It’s focused and forceful at the same time as sounding some how human. On the flip, ‘Return To Seriphos’ is another dense soundscape, but one that invites you into its core thanks to the freeform analogue lines, contrast of rough with smooth and generally classy Chicago vibes. ‘Stranger Shores’ is less troubled and more reflective with bright melodic chords glowing from the centre of the track as warbling, swollen sub undulates all around them.
Perseus Traxx – A Girl Named Rebecca [CHIWAX007]
With releases under a range of pseudonyms (Orpheus, Sir Leon Greg, Nite Vision), once again Perseus Traxx unashamedly shows his nature on this release. Thoughts, feelings and emotions are by far the most important influences on music, and capturing moments then translating into a musical form he once again documents the more personal elements of his life, taking you deep. Perseus weaves a rich tapestry of emotions and desires using heavily weighted bass tones and skipping percussion that thread together with expansive strings and pads. These are married with more detailed melodies and modulated tones that shimmer in and out of the psyche as he uses analogue boxes and their warmth like a loom. This collection of music ranges from the deep and dreamy, to total transcendence within steady dance floor rhythms clothed in a warm yet spacious fabric of sound. Deep House, sometimes with a real sense of urgency that juxtaposes with itʼs inherent flights of fancy.
Perseus Traxx – Raw Cuts [SUIT003]
Stay Underground, It Pays with the 3rd release from Perseus Traxx. The analog man is back with some killer tracks, deep & jacking chicago sounds with haunting pads, big basselines & some classic TR 707 – 909 drum machines. The title track ‘Hindsight’ is a raw bumpy cut with a sneaky bassline going all along with rolling claps & rims. Influenced by all the best 80’s trax records releases, it’s a late night masterpiece of minimalistic electronic sounds. The 4 other tracks ‘Late night calls’, ‘A slave to feelings’, ‘How the future lies’ & the crazy ‘wrangle’ are clearly working in the same movement.
VA – Use Of Weapons 005 [UOW005]
Use of Weapons 5 lands noisily in your back yard with five house marauders hotter than Salma Hayek eating a hot apple pie. Five different artists bring the bacon: label heads Deep Space Orchestra remixing themselves, ex-Cosmic Boogie overlord Asok, Perseus Traxx, Other Worlds and Wet Play executive board member Ruf Dug.
Perseus Traxx – So Much Drama In The Hood – Creme Podcast #4
VA – J.A.M. Traxx 003 [JAM003]
The third release on J.A.M. Traxx, a 5 track 12″ on the neo-Chicago tip, comes with contributions by the likes of Jack Curtu, Elec Pt. 1, Punknown, Perseus Traxx and Lost in the Sound.
Perseus Traxx – Das Haus [F-FLASH003]
A raw, unrehearsed and uncompromising jam captured on tape and released unedited to maintain the unfettered energy. Clocking in at just shy of fifteen minutes, this full assault of sound aimed squarely at the dancefloor, was directly inspired by a visit to perform at the club of the same name in Zagreb, Croatia.
Perseus Traxx – Transitional Shifts [STX008]
Next amazing Snuff Trax bu Perseus Traxx and a remix by Snuffo & Alienata. Mixup between finest Chicago and Detroit back in the day sound. Trax with the taste of good old times. The past is now, the present is now, the future is now.
N & N Tracks – Farewell To The South [BOOMCHICK001]
The first offering on Boom Chik comes from N & N Tracks. Produced by Neville Watson and Nigel Rogers (aka Perseus Traxx) in an impromptu recording session lasting just one afternoon, the love of classic sounding Chicago tones and feelings are immediately present. The sound is that of effect drenched raw machinery, hammering out beats and synth parts intended to transport you on the dance floor, all beaten out of the machines live to tape with Neville and Nigel just performing the occasional edit here and there.
Sir Leon Greg – Warehouse Classics #1 [WAR001]
Warehouse Classics Vol.1 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularized at the Music Box and rarely heard anywhere else. Sir Leon Greg (another incarnation of Perseus Traxx) jams out then reinforces some edits of forgotten classics with a raw & personal analogue treatment for a devastating full effect on the dance floor, that is a far cry from the proliferation of over-produced squeaky-clean software edits. These are basic, raw ideas thrown down quickly and capturing the energy on 1/4” tape before moving on to the next set of sounds. Musically, it’s as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as you’d expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk.
Perseus Traxx / Aroy Dee – Hope EP [PF001]
First appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of Holland with a split-release by the well-respected Aroy Dee and Perseus Traxx. Both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. This will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. Honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. Perseus Traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. Aroy Dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut.
Matt Star – Bring Night Citylights EP [MAIN009]
The ninth release from the Mainrecords shop, on its eponymous titled label comes in the form of three tracks of slick late night electro from Matt Star, plus a remix from Perseus Traxx. Happily blurring boundaries between house and electro, with its tight, crisp beats the release exudes a form of stripped back and honest late night cool with basses that bubble in a way sometimes reminiscent of Ed DMX, while others lend more of a Chicago feel accompanied by rolling toms. Synth lines and arpeggiations cut in and out of subtle modulations giving the feel of anticipation one gets while tearing along the motorways of a city, late at night, the lights of the city and other vehicles brightly darting by, streaking and reflecting across the cars windscreen.
Perseus Traxx – Perseus Traxx II [BUNKER3095]
The second appearance from Nigel Rogers aka Persues Traxx on Bunker Records, featuring more Deep Chicago style house vibes.
Perseus Traxx – Coded Emotion [MOS015]
Cestrian / Perseus – Annihilator [FFLASH002]
Ali Renault dons his Cestrian outfit once again for some equally momentous movements for the Future Flash imprint. “Annihilator” surely ranks in the upper echelons of apt titles as Renault explodes into a frenzy of spazmoid analogue rhythms from the off. Spectral flourishes and bubbling textures keep it interesting and it all rides on top of a pummelling aqua techno groove. The aforementioned spectral elements are expanded on by Perseus Traxx on an eerie electro refix that displays all the producers’ talent for eking every last drop of lysergia out of analogue machinery.
Perseus Traxx – Misspent Emotions [BOE013]
Newest signing to Boe Recordings is the UK’s very own Perseus Traxx. It’s 5 tracks of pure deep and jacking Chicago sounds with haunting pads, big baselines and the classic drum machine rhythms. It’s analogue food for your the body and soul and house music in its purest form.
Perseus Traxx – Untitled [BUNKER3093]
New UK talent, very authentic and very warm ’80’s instrumental Chicago deep house and NY/NJ paradise garage, plus one track that could very well be the ultimate space bass discofreak-out soundtrack of ’70’s sci-fi series buck rogers, beedee, beedee!
