The latest release on Madloch's Crossfade Sounds welcomes the return of South African artist Zerk with Spectral Axis EP, following a strong label debut in 2025. After first appearing on the imprint with his initial productions, this release marks both his first solo EP and the next step in his artistic development, presenting a focused snapshot of his emerging sound within the label's deep, dub-oriented framework. Comprising two tracks, Spectral Axis and Refraction, the EP moves with restraint and purpose, balancing subtle rhythmic pressure with spacious atmospheres, and signals a promising trajectory as Zerk continues to define his voice on Crossfade Sounds.
