Notes

"The latest outing from Rob Woodward and Adam Bamber sees the TRAXSHNN duo continue to explore the extremities of live techno and modular synthesis, delivering a gloriously, irreverent take on club music that bangs in all the right places.Opener ‘ZOG’ launches headfirst into junglist territory before a colossal bass drum comes in and pummels the track into submission. With nifty breaks and elegantly judged vocal edits, the tracks fizzes with energy throughout, utilising the iconic Amen Break with laser-guided precision.Their predilection for freaky vocals surfaces once more on ‘WAT’, with ghetto house style samples finding themselves at the very heart of the track. The vocal is processed and modulated throughout to take the tight loop to its furthest possible conclusions, while a smart electro rhythm keeps the track marching forwards with a confident swagger. The live performance adds a feverish unpredictability that keeps things zesty throughout.A sudden darkness descends when ‘TRAVELLER’ kicks in, as an armoured, techno behemoth lurches from the shadows to end the EP with a K.O. Whilst primed for the grimiest of warehouses, TRAXSHNN throw stuff into the mix you’d never have predicted. An aquatic, Drexciyan style synth busts a hole in the mechanical darkness, while the throwback use of ‘future’ grinds through differing levels of modular alchemy, pushing your senses to the limit."
