Originally set up in 1994, Christian Smith’s Tronic label holds a special place in techno circles. A leading force in shaping a less purist techno sound Tronic was amongst the first labels to embrace sounds from house and techno to create records that DJ’s from both scenes would play; and so it is with excited expectation that Tronic makes its return.

Greg “Stryke” Chin and Javier Santos have together developed as one of the most in demand production duos around. With previous releases on Ovum, Circle and Monoid, their joint back catalogue is fast becoming a turn to choice for those seeking a raw emotive sound that spans the realms of house and techno with ambience and energy.

Exiled brings together an array of elements drawn from the past two decades of acid house to create a distinctive combination of teched-out sounds that will work on big rooms and small. Given momentum by a driving percussion section and arranged to convey an urgent energy, there is no ignoring this cacophonous acid-tweaked throbber.

Arguably in some of the finest form of a long and distinguished career, Mark Broom breathes his own unique energy into his remix; drawing melody from the original elements and layering it over a jacking tribalistic groove that is pumped up to fist-throwing levels by heavy beats and firing hats. Heads down… this goes off the top end.
