Glasgow based imprint Flatpack Traxx returns with a no nonsense 4 track EP made for the dance floor. A collaboration from 2 of the UK's brightest new talents Dissonance and Intact. Both of whom play an integral role within London based collective Surface Music.

Dissonance an Anglo/Italian producer was exposed to strong musical influences having relocated to the UK at an early age. His recent productions are a voyage of exploration, recording for the likes of Spain's Oblack label and 2651 Records alongside Los Pastores and the Willers Brothers respectively.

This collaboration marks the first foray into production for Intact, who has been enjoying success as a regular at of one of London's most exciting clubs Egg. Where he curates the Obzerv Ldn brand, and this month claiming a residency for Manchester based Label ANIMA.

'Austere' opens the 4 track EP with it's crisp percussive elements, classic house stabs and a sweet rolling bassline. Before continuing with 'Back To' which in contrast is a far moodier cut. Spacey pads and chopped repetitive vocals add texture and reinforce the dominant rhythmic elements.

Over on flip 'Bleak' sets the tone with fat rolling beats, layered key stabs and trademark chopped vocals scattered throughout. 'Nocturne' closes out the EP a thick subby groove with dynamic rhythms, hypnotic pads and deep analogue tones.
