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.
Yousef - Departure / Birthday Thoughts
1. Departure
2. Digital Departure
3. Birthday Thoughts (Yousef Club mix)
4. Birthday Thoughts (Yankee Zulu mix)
After some amazing feedback and five star reviews from our last release from Circus star Yousef we’re back to unleash another beast of an EP onto the world’s dance floors!
More tracks from Yousef's ‘Unreleased’ vault. ‘Departure’ was made ahead of his move from Yousef's hometown of Liverpool to his current address of London. Tight beats, a warm piano line, grooving bass and a powerful moment. Once again walking the genre line, House and Techno combined. He completes part one with his heavy hitting edit called ‘Digital Departure’.
Next up is ‘Birthday Thoughts’, a track made on his birthday in 2008. The original down tempo version features on Yousef's forthcoming debut artist album "A Collection of Scars and Situations" (Circus Recordings June 2009) which in its original form is a 63bpm melancholy drum work out, based on a reminisced and best-forgotten childhood birthday. The Club Mix came later; powerful bouncing drums chug along to reach its crescendo where you become familiar with the aforementioned. To finish off the package in true style we give you a stunning remix by Yankee Zulu.
