The label’s second release: “The Only Way Up” EP by Toronto-based producer Egyptrixx.

Egyptrixx makes celestial club music; jeep jams for a Saturn desert. Over the years his tracks have called on diverse styles from booty house to dubstep, but all of them share an exhilarating wrong-but-right tension – a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial.

At 122bpm, the EP’s lead track “The Only Way Up” is the ultimate subtle banger. A clattering rimshot beat plays host to immense swelling synths that build until breaking point, before a dangerously low sub drives the track to sheer soundsystem ecstasy. Hypnotic, mesmerising, punishing… nothing sounds quite like it.

The EP’s second original track takes a more direct approach. With its elastic bassline and warped synths “Everybody Bleeding” is like a futurist take on DJ Deeon’s “Rubberband Bass” -  definitely a riddim for the world’s tougher dancefloors.

On the flip are two very special remixes:
Hyperdub’s first lady Ikonika reinterprets “The Only Way Up” as a soaring, blissed-out piece of synth’n'bass, permeated by choir pads and her signature emotive Moog.
Night Slugs’ NYC representative Kingdom goes in hard, borrowing the celestial synths of “Everybody Bleeding” to put together a MAW “Ha”-sampling ballroom club mix, featuring an incredibly ominous original vocal from his collaborator Shyvonne (we call this remix the “Space Ha”).
