back in march 07, drag city issued rtxs second ball busting album, under a title that we all really loved and you did too. but the man! the man came down on them, telling drag city that in a court of law the album with that title would be struck down and that they must cease and rethink. thusly armed, drag city went to rtx and told them that a rebirth was at hand. fortunately, they were up for the change - and ratx is the inevitable result! containing the exact same contents as its former self, ratx has the additional benefit of being released in a super limited vinyl edition.

a catchy big room house track with strong female vocals!!

the latest release on rising trax is this cheeky little ep from max vangeli. three top draw tracks on show here. >crazed< starts simple yet effective and builds slowly into a big distorted guitar hook before dropping back into a very militant rhythm. >k.e.j.i< is a stripped down prog house number with a wicked groove overlaid with nice stabs and a cool hook. the final track of the ep is >i rock< which begins as a minimal house track then drops with some cool squeaks, bleeps and delayed noises. the stabs turn into a big snyth riff which can only be described as large!

the italian house producer is on fire at the moment. after the recent huge remix of rhythm code !! speechless that was one of the biggest tracks of the miami wmc, lys returns with a massive piano smash ready for the white isle!! played by pete tong!!!

originally released in 1990, royal trux’ “twin infinitives” is being re-issued in all its (yet to be translated) alien glory, by fire records. comes on silver coloured double vinyl in sleeve with monochrome artwork and download code.

first vinyl pressing of twin infinitives since the original vinyl issue in 1990. after moving to san francisco, royal trux released the highly experimental double album twin infinitives. this album remains an extreme work on the periphery of rock music, worthy of being compared to lou reeds metal machine music and suicides debut album. at only four subdivided tracks, none of which clock in under 15 minutes, the record has plenty of time to weave a mesmerizing web that is sometimes menacing, sometimes startling. for all of its high brow allusions, twin infinitives nearly reeks of vice, a dark, sordid feel pervades the record, and the listener can almost picture the band recording in a filthy apartment in the middle of the night in various states of intoxication and debauchery.
