VA – Fractal Rip [ANT08]
Two deep and deadly jack sojourns from Echospace’s Steve Hitchell and Chicago stalwart Josh Werner! They’ve found a terrifically mean streak of form with this 12″, dropping the heat-seeking jack of ‘Fractal Rip’ on the A-side, built with chewed-up 303 bass gurgles and ruff-cut machine rhythms to help even the most uncoordinated warehouse dweller find their perk.On the flip they offer a harrowing ‘Preludes & Nocturnes’ version of ‘Introspective’ from Traxx’s ‘Faith’ disc, refracting it through Hitchell’s matrix of filters, delays, and assorted vintage FX until it emerges zombified and harrowed.
Traxx – Lifeless Future
For the first smaller jubilee of the Nation Podcast we were not sure what we should do to quench the thirst of those who are in constant need of Jakbeat.
But then Traxx was getting booked to play alongside Gene Hunt and Sadar Bahar in Amsterdam for a celebration of the early blueprints of Chicago House, and to take the people attending the show on a journey through time and space, deep into the vaults of what is considered to be the greatest musical revolution of all time.
Our own excitement for this historical event, made us go down into the basement-archives to unearth a session that was thought to be forgotten. Ripped directly straight from tape, with all artefacts and soundlevel-changes intact… Lifeless Future will draw a disturbing image of the future, when Mankind is not anymore, and all there is left in the world is sound.
We hope you will enjoy this session, and give it a repeated listen…
Traxx on “H.S.T.A.” Interview
Not content to be labeled as merely a DJ, a producer, or even a DJ/Producer, Melvin Oliphant III aka Traxx is a lover of music — one with a passion so intense that it overcomes genre divides to weave an altogether original, exciting, and multi-textured musical fabric which envelops both the avid clubber and the home listener, as well as everyone in between.
As a self-described “artist of sound,” Traxx morphs musical compositions into distinctive, highly emotional interpretations — he is, indeed, an innovator, and one who reshapes music into a progressive, forward-thinking document which defies classification and invites analysis and discussion. From eclectic and avant-garde tunes to old school jack tracks and lounge grooves, he hears it all without discrimination, pretension or elitism.

Traxx – I Once Was …
Sometimes moments of a catastrophic emotion in himself determines how the writer is bringing his words to the paper. Enjoy another mysterious session by the caretaker of haunted sound. It sure is sending shivers down your spine. Spooky!

Es gibt wohl im Netz kein ähnlich gutes, noch gehaltvolleres Interviewformat. Auch als bedingt an elektronischer Musikinteressierter, lese ich es jedes Mal mit Freude! Thanx!!
Das ist aber lieb… Danke!
