Featuring guest spots from close peers DJ Minx, Andrés and Mr Joshooa, they twist house, techno, electro, breakbeat and rave into revitalized new shapes; embellished with a touch of soul, funk and hip hop.

With backgrounds in hardcore and punk, Ataxia’s debut is suffused with that energy, attitude, and approach; this is raw, lean and unashamedly no-nonsense dance floor tackle that goes straight for the jugular. Heavily analogue, the album experiments with tape saturation, which harks back to the duo’s formative years in bands, recording demos to cassettes.

These straight-up, in-the-red tracks give preference to overdriven drum machines, rather than generic polished sheen, but conversely, it’s all deceptively well-crafted too; ‘Out Of Step’ is a standout record that’s big in character, bringing to mind the renegade spirit of Underground Resistance, and the bombastic brilliance of The Prodigy and Chemical Brothers.

We are presenting the 11th track, ‘WM’. The bubbling, wobbly loose swing of ‘WM’ is constructed around a classic chopped-up MTV cribs sample, with a filtered vocal creating a far out psychedelic effect – all of which is propelled apace by a huge bruising LFO.

‘Out Of Step’ LP will be available via Life and Death label after the 11th of November HERE.

Labels to release Ataxia’s output include legendary Detroit techno imprints Planet E and KMS, plus the seminal American house label Nervous Records. Their catalogue also includes music for Visionquest, Leftroom, 20/20 Vision and Seth Troxler’s Play It Say It.

Skating the line between house and techno, ATAXIA is a US duo based in Detroit and they take pride in the city’s heritage plus the influence it’s had on their own music. Consisting of Eric Ricker and Ted Krisko the pair have been a mainstay of Seth Troxler’s label Play It Say It.

Other labels to feature ATAXIA tracks include high flying imprints such as 20/20 Vision, Planet E Communications, KMS Records, Visionquest, Culprit and Nervous Records.

‘The M’ EP is finishing with some funk. We are presenting the fourth track ‘Mick Knack’, breakbeat percussion and bursts of acid blended with rave influenced melody hooks. A true blast from the past, this quirky little number is a contemporary classic that puts a modern twist on timeless sounds.

‘The M’ EP will be available after the 30th of August HERE.
