TRNSSTR are back with another cutting edge slice of pure minimal-tech mayhem with the release of “Not A Poem”/ “Ravedigger” on Berwick Street records.

“Not a Poem” is slick magnetic groover set to stun. The track features a deep driving bass drone, intrinsic percussion tweaked to perfection and warped hypnotic vocal snippets from African poet Olu. Timo Garcia heads up an alluring and tantalising remix, bringing some mind melting stabs, a beepy melodic lead line and a rough and tougher bassline to the forefront.

“Ravedigger” is a minimal stormer ready to mess with your head. This track includes a field of lo-fi percussion, an absorbing melodic stab line, effective twisted vocal chants from Olu and a dominant bassline skilfully designed to drive the track. The track develops with some intriguing effects and some stellar manipulation creating tension and interest throughout. A dub version is also including within this killer package.

TRNSSTR do it again with this outstanding follow up EP and raise the bar of minimal-tech production. Both tracks are self-confident masterpieces with unparalleled quality set to standout in any club.
TRNSSTR have playing in some of best clubs around including Ministry Of Sound, London, Redlight Afterhours, Shoreditch and have an extensive tour imminent.
