Next time you’ve gotta do that 20-minute-ish drive to or from the city, here’s the perfect little thing to make it go a little more smoothly: TRAX SOLAR by agropol weaves in and around groovy oscillators, throws down into badass breaks, and generally keeps it interesting across five tracks of uptempo club beats. It’s dynamic, never getting too comfortable in any loop, evolving, shapeshifting, and effortlessly gliding through techno, acid, and jungle.
Want to get your breakbeat fix this Friday night? Though agropol has previously played at Lotek, this month’s lineup features SWAP MEET! (Birmingham, AL), BC Rydah (Long Beach, CA), Lonald J. Bandz, Soulox, and Soeneido. It’s also happening at a new venue: Commune in downtown Oakland.
