Toronto-based electronic musician and producer David Psutka launches his "Halocline Trance" label with his third LP under the experimental club project, Egyptrixx. Marking 5 years of output, the album features graphic and video design from longtime collaborator, Berlin-based artist ANF, and elaborates the structural ideas from their collaborative album "A/B til Infinity" (Night Slugs, 2013).
The music is primitive, minimalist; fixated mainly on texture and weight. Smudged facsimiles of club music; crude and abstract grooves. The record starts with cleansing drones then lapses into a fractured digital melody. Toggling between metallic shards of DX7, drum machine blast beats and grandiose, hyper-color drones; its strange cohesion of disparate objects suggesting a novel synchronicity.
Like all Egyptrixx releases, "Transfer of Energy [Feelings of Power]" pivots on a central dichotomy: tranquility and concussion. Picture Genocide Organ rededicated to pure positivity or spectral love notes to aging infrastructure. These are concrete and euphoric slabs of sound.
