The Europe-centered techno scene might be thinking: Where is techno in a city as vast, dynamic and electric as New York? It s alive and well, and keeps growing through aptly-named NEW YORK TRAX. Founded in 2016 and based in Brooklyn, NEW YORK TRAX is an outlet for New York music, by New York artists, in New York city. The artist behind the fourth New York Trax release needs no introduction. Steve Stoll is one of the pioneers and founding fathers of New York techno. Producing pure, minimalist analogue-minded techno (even though his career began as a drummer with the industrial label Wax Trax), Steve Stoll has recorded for his own label Proper NYC, Trax Records, Djax, Nova Mute and many more, including his recent appearances on Nina Kraviz s imprint Trip. This record on New York Trax is the essence of Steve Stoll s style: minimal, driving, with a subtle groove that sinks in the rich texture of sound. It connects the dots between the past, present, and the future of the New York sound.
