An unprecedented collision between tradition and avant-garde : Txaptrax redefines the techno pulse through the organic beats of the txalaparta, a centuries-old Basque instrument transformed into a living analog sequencer. A dialogue between resonant wood and machines, where each impact triggers modular sound architectures and mutating electronic textures.With Introspekzio eta jostalagun txalaparta konektatua (Introspective and Recreational Connected Txalaparta), the first part of a visionary trilogy, the Bayonne-based production house Catach_Prod and the Fantôme Factory label propel this acoustic techno into territories where acid trance and raw electroacoustics intersect. A hypnotic progression that evokes James Holden and Plastikman as much as the kinetic energy of Drexciya and Phuture. Recorded by Johannes Buff (Sonic Youth, The Internet, Lysistrata, Zombie Zombie) at Shorebreaker Studio, this album is a manifesto for sensory and immersive club music, driven by the interactive scenography of Youri Fernandez. A hybrid experience, somewhere between introspection and rhythmic catharsis.[info sheet from distr.]
