Releases
Antennasia’s Warped Lucky received critical acclaim last year, with DJ Mag comparing it to Everything But the Girl but with more ambitious production. For their first international release, they've enlisted several producers from the experimental reaches of dance music. Featuring remixes by Boy In Nature, D-Fried, Gaszia, RamonPang, ROBY, Skeith, and Xenon Chameleon.
A gorgeous UK-garage banger, capturing the uncertainty of relationships with lush production, shimmering synths, and emotive vocal chops, creating a deeply immersive and emotional soundscape.
The debut EP from the LA/Tokyo-based producer. The charm of the Katamari Damacy soundtrack meets the sonic landscapes of Cornelius's Fantasma, edoken's self-titled EP captures the essence of taking the random and making it musical, turning the chaotic into something beautifully structured.
With support from the likes of Caribou, Leftfield and LP Giobbi, this vibrant tapestry woven from life’s connections by the classically trained ballet dancer and pianist beautifully brings together pretty, melodic elements with dynamic, danceable beats.
TR is proud to present ZeroCHI Remixes, a collection that reimagines the Milan-based producer’s EP across various genres, connecting disparate online music scenes. This release features a previously unreleased track, "IVasion," originally meant for ZeroCHI, offering a haunting, atmospheric close to the project. A standout is the VIP version of "Zampa Fantasma," which shifts from 105 to 210 BPM, blending atmospheric gabber with the original's signature sound.
Crosstalk - CT-2 (releases 8/30)
After a year of groundbreaking releases and genre-blurring collaborations, São Paulo-based multidisciplinary artist Crosstalk returns with CT-2, his debut EP on The Tabula Rasa Record Company. This release marks a pivotal moment in Crosstalk’s evolving journey, where he crafts ghostly, hazy bass landscapes while pushing the boundaries of electronic music. To get a glimpse of CT-2, the singles “3200K” and “Tranzit” are out now.
