Active for more than a decade within the Geneva scene, DJ Laxxiste A. has established himself as one of the key fi gures of the local club culture. A DJ digger, musician, producer and experimenter, he moves between rave culture, dub and adventurous electronic music. As one half of Oram Modular, a project that left a mark on Geneva's house and techno landscape, and through several live projects, he has long navigated between soundsystem culture, the dance fl oor and free party. This new release, composed of fi ve original tracks and two remixes, o ff ers a synthesis of Laxxiste's musical obsessions. Jungle, acid, breakbeat and dub collide in a dense, textured universe shaped by a distinctly dub-driven mix. The tracks were fi rst tested in a hardware live set, where machines, FX and samples were pushed and reshaped in real time before being re fi ned into fi nished pieces. The result is an organic and sometimes raw sound, combining lo- fi textures, twisted samples and deep basslines designed for adventurous dance fl oors. The record also features two collaborations. Lateena, a key voice of the Swiss dancehall scene, appears on one track, bringing a distinctive vocal presence. Another piece unfolds through a double transformation, with a remix by Bony Fly later extended into a dub version by dubmaster Androo.
