Palms Trax - Soft Trance Hard Gossip

Palm Trax’s latest release, ‘Soft Trance Hard Gossip’, knows exactly how to make it all work. Smooth acid lines, hints of IDM, gleeful synths and a bold bassline make for a pretty foolproof recipe.

England-raised but now Berlin-based, Trax sits somewhere between the two, bringing a distinctly playful energy to the record. The title track pairs bubbling acid with buoyant synths and a deep bassline, while ‘Keys To A Printed Garden’ leans further into IDM, weaving surprising percussion (even a saxophone!) around a warm deep-house groove.

It feels heavy but light; wompy yet nimble. ‘Soft Trance Hard Gossip’ is an invitation to indulge in a sensory playground, where acid, house and the experimental collide, making for a wonderfully infectious listen.
