DJ TRAX Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Okbron have been more than happy to participate in DJ Trax's renewed resurgence following his album for Over/Shadow and a string of essential 12"s. Following last years Forest Dawn release he's back with two lush new tunes which prove he's as inspired as ever in the field of atmospheric d&b. 'As Day Breaks' opens up the record with the kind of strange, misty morning mood which billows out perfectly over the agile breaks, feeling classic and yet fresh all at the same time thanks to Trax's needlepoint drum programming. 'Forward Thinking' follows suit with another set of nuanced pads that move away from the played-out formulas of the genre. The strafing synth bleeps cutting through the mix are the icing on top of this masterclass from one of the best in the game.
