outstanding future electro funk!

much needed re-issue of this psychedelic detroit rooted 4th release on the (312) label which only surfaced as a 50 unit run back in the spring of 2018. magda + t.b. arthur + ectomorph s bmg are blotter trax 2.0.

limited edition gold vinyl. following on from lost basement tapes and the raw psychedelic energy of their first ep, which tickled the fancy of planet earth s toughest music critics, blotter trax return to the present tense in 2018 with a 2.0 vision. the duo of magda and t.b. arthur have enlisted detroit top dog bmg - founder of ectomorph, interdimensional transmissions, and the no way back parties.

the second release on tb arthurs (312) label finds the mysterious artist revealing a collaborative project with magda as blotter trax. the pair first encountered each other at the famous motor city record store record time, when detroit artist bmg introduced his then co-workers magda and derek plaslaiko to arthur, who was visiting the shop from chicago. sometime after that meeting, magda and arthur went into the studio and jammed together for a week, the session was recorded live on analog 1/4 tape and then three tracks were selected for release. 1a is six and a half minutes of modulated synth sounds that are psyched out and sci-fi, spooky and truly atmospheric. full of cerebral cinematism, acid lines and ghoulish textures all add up to a truly standout track. 2a then marries dark wave pops and clicks, unsettling alien lifeforms and menacing, slo motion industrial drums into a physical and imposing groover riddled with paranoid sirens and drones. last of all, 2b snakes and slithers its way through undulating drums, cosmic freakiness and gloopy synth sounds that are all seductive and subversive in equal measure. this, then, is a truly fascinating pairing.

dark horizon is the perfect crossover tune with a dark dubstep/grime vibe and raw energy, being battered by n-type, jj, spyro, chef, hatcha, walsh and mistajam.
blotter paper: bouncy club banger with gliding coki-esque bass line. fresh off the factory line battered by n-type, hatcha and the usual dubplate suspects.
