Active for more than a decade within the Geneva scene DJ Laxxiste A. has established himself as one of the key figures of the local club culture. A DJ digger musician producer and experimenter he moves between rave culture dub and adventurous electronic music. As one half of Oram Modular a project that left a mark on Geneva's house and techno landscape and through several live projects he has long navigated between soundsystem culture the dancefloor and free party. This new release composed of five original tracks and two remixes offers a synthesis of Laxxiste's musical obsessions. Jungle acid breakbeat and dub collide in a dense textured universe shaped by a distinctly dub-driven mix. The tracks were first tested in a hardware live set where machines FX and samples were pushed and reshaped in real time before being refined into finished pieces. The result is an organic and sometimes raw sound combining lo-fi textures twisted samples and deep basslines designed for adventurous dancefloors. The record also features two collaborations. Lateena a key voice of the Swiss dancehall scene appears on one track bringing a distinctive vocal presence. Another piece unfolds through a double transformation with a remix by Bony Fly later extended into a dub version by dubmaster Androo.
