Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Egyptrixx

since his 2011 debut lp *bible eyes*, psutka has been busy with various studio production projects as well as recording and touring with his side-project hiawatha. his return as egyptrixx takes the form of a multi-media collaboration with berlin-based visual artist a.n.f. (andreas fischer). together the pair focused on a process - a set of meaning-through-reduction principles applied to both sound and video - with atmosphere, repetition and texture given priority over traditional ideas of narrative and song structure.

egyptrixx gives a glimpse into his forthcoming second album on night slugs with the vinyl-only cut *water (reduced)*. the hi-definition crystalline world of his previous album *bible eyes* has sunken, submerged. *water* takes place in some vast molten expanse, a subterranean electrical storm expressed as acid-tech. this 12 inch features the reduced dub, stripped of melody to for full hypnotic effect. the full version can be heard on the forthcoming album, titled *a/b til infinity*. on the flip: helix keeps bootlegging our records. he cuts up the masters and edits them up like fruity loops lego, applying the same post-timbaland stutter-logic that was amplified so dramatically in 03-06 grime. here he puts his hand to egyptrixx blastbeats-heavy *adult*, also taken from the forthcoming *a/b til infinity* lp. the results are extremely punishing but compelling listening.

the newest installment in night slugs vinyl-only nswl series is dedicated to >liberation front<, a track taken from egyptrixx debut lp >bible eyes<, released on ns earlier this year. without a doubt the albums biggest dancefloor cut, >liberation front is built to work best in huge rooms, stirring thousands of people at a time into a frenzy. on the a side, the original track is taken on by dj mike q, a stalwart of the vogue / ballroom club scene of his native new jersey. mike delivers an incredibly raw and stripped down remix of >liberation front<, re-working egyptrixxs unique sound design into a matrix of hard kicks, runway percussion and the of course the ballroom genres masters at work-sampling dramatic ha snare. an uncompromising rhythm track, this is club music at its most direct. as a bonus, the a side also features an edit of mike qs remix by bok bok, re-arranging the track and adding a tuff acid bassline to bring that soundsytem weight ns is known for. meanwhile keeping djs happy, the b side is dedicated to the original mix of >liberation front< in its full seven-minute glory.
