Verraco – Escándaloo

TraTraTrax continues to have a run and co-founder Verraco is setting the pace. Although »Escándaloo« was released on Voam, the label of Blawan and Pariah, it captures the synthetic-syncretic aesthetic of his own label like no other release: The title track grooves harder than techno is allowed to these days and throws a few almost brosteppy dub wobbles into the mix, »jajaja« tosses sounds and rhythms around even more carefree and »How Is This Even Possible?« is almost toolish in comparison—that is, if you acknowledge that everything is relative. One of the rare dancefloor EPs from this year that sounded both innovative and fun. Kristoffer Cornils
