ABOVE; SETH TROXLER
As the gap between funky and eerie tech-house productions continues to widen there is one name that comes hurtling out of this chasm in the genre, Seth Troxler, a champion of tech-house's 'dark side' ('Sith' Troxler if we're keeping the ball rolling on cheap Star Wars puns). This year Troxler can do no wrong as he continues to churn out top releases which are cropping up on sticky dancefloors everywhere.
The ever increasing popularity of Troxler is partly due to just about every one of his releases being followed by a string of remixes from some of electronic musics most prolific artists. Troxler's June release Trust (which was produced in collaboration with Tiefschwarz) boasts remixes from Audion, Jamie Jones and Tim Green to name but a few.
Much of Troxler's success though lies in his distinct vocal melodies. The second sitting of a Troxler track after its been included in a set puts you straight back in the moment, reminds you of how you'd much rather be back in Room 2 with Kaden and a Hurt (martinez remix) than writing a blog at work. His vocal sound varies from the dark and sexual to the downright strange (listen to Aphrika, in my opinion Wolf + Lamb's best release of the year thus far, where the lyrics are taken from Maya Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman")
Add to this foundation some low-slung house grooves and catching album artwork, such as the picture above taken from Troxler's recent Panic, Stop...Release! and you've got nothing but praise from us here at Warehouse Music.
