"the Berlin-based label TILT, as Lag and X-Coast once again join forces for their much-anticipated EP release, "XL Traxx." The EP kicks off with the electrifying track "Da Chord," a powerful anthem that is sure to captivate listeners and make a bold statement about the duo's unyielding artistic vision. Here, a call-and-response motif from the synths dances playfully alongside relentless, pounding drums, forming a striking contrast that demands attention and ignites movement."
"On the flip side, prepare for a thrilling ride with two unabashed bass heavyweights, "Da Riser" and "Da Bass." "Da Riser" delicately weaves a tapestry of tension and release, anchored by a gritty low synth motif that teases and torments. Meanwhile, "Da Bass" pays homage to the defining energy of late '90s drum & bass, yet adopts a modern twist with its pulsating 4/4 kick, funky chords, and congas that resonate deep within."
Lag and X-Coast collaborate on the vinyl EP XL Traxx via Berlin-based label TILT, channeling early-2000s techno reimagined for modern dancefloors. "Da Chord" features call-and-response synths and pounding drums that create energetic contrast and movement. "Da High" blends disco-infused elements, smooth vocals, and airy pads over percussive drums for a dancefloor-ready groove. Flip-side tracks "Da Riser" and "Da Bass" emphasize bass weight, with "Da Riser" building tension through gritty low synth motifs and "Da Bass" merging late '90s drum & bass energy with a pulsating 4/4 kick, funky chords, and congas. Artwork collages rave flyers and hides DJ Šanjika, a key Serbian vinyl figure.
