Transfer of Energy [Feelings of Power] - [HTRA001]
Egyptrixx is celestial club music; jeep music for a Saturn desert…there is an exhilarating right-but-wrong tension in all the tracks – a shifting balance between melodic and dissonant, rapturous and antisocial.
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.
Transfer of Energy [Feelings of Power] 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).
