CDTRAX & Gabrielle join forces for a striking deep modular techno statement on Say What? with the Form And Void EP - a four-track journey that explores tension, texture, and the interplay between raw machine energy and hypnotic groove.
We start off with 'Form And Void' an immersion into contrast: delicate atmospheres collide with raw, pulsating low-end pressure. A spiraling modular sequence evolves throughout, never static, shifting shapes like liquid metal in constant transformation. Echoed percussion and shadowy textures create a sense of vast negative space, allowing the groove to breathe yet always pushing forward with purpose.
Next up is 'Balance' a hypnotic rhythm sets the foundation, while modulated synth tones weave in and out, destabilizing the listener’s sense of grounding. Subtle harmonic layers rise and fall like distant signals, offering moments of serenity before plunging back into rolling, hypnotic momentum. The track becomes a meditation on equilibrium - how groove, distortion, and space coexist within one evolving system.
The third track on the release is 'Kill The Messenger' a rolling deep excursion with metallic percussion and a growling, distorted modular bassline. The arrangement strips things down to essentials, creating an atmosphere of urgency and confrontation. With its minimal yet impactful design, it conjures the feeling of being locked inside the machine.
We are closing the EP with, 'Mechatronic' an ode to kinetic energy and futurist sound design. Pulsating modular sequences interlock with crisp, precision-engineered drum programming, creating an almost biomechanical groove. The textures blur the line between human and machine, organic imperfection and engineered precision.
Enjoy
