Listen Here EP

Description

It is with much pride we present the seventh record on our in-house Palace Trax label produced by none other than Troy Anderson aka Cityboy. Troy is known amongst the discerning techno collector for his boundary-pushing 90s releases on US label, 1200 Music and in recent times under his DFD moniker on labels such as Down Low and We’re Going Deep. Impeccable production and musicality is evident across the record. Tight percussion, searing synth leads and well-tempered acid lines meld together into rolling techno and electro. Each track ebbs and flows through moments of hypnotising rhythm and pockets of bliss. Troy got in contact with us off the back of PT006 (Joe DeWaal) and with Joe having been inspired by Troy’s music while making the record, it seemed a synchronicity we couldn’t ignore. We’ve all big fans of Troy’s music and thus the wheels were set in motion for the seventh instalment on Palace Trax. A note from Troy: ‘So the name "Cityboy" is actually a slang term used here in Texas by someone that lives out in the country that makes fun of someone that lives in the city. These country folk often say things like "Listen here cityboy, you might have been born at night, but not last night" or something stupid shit like that. It's an inside joke between me and Gerard Hansen). Since you are going with the Cityboy moniker we should make use of that saying.’
