Sons of Traders 002 is a Compilation 8 Tracks Ep of loosely knit artists that surround the duo Sons of Traders (Mike Tansella Jr. and TANS). Leading the EP, the title track “Rotten to the Core” is a slow stomper with a forceful vocal sample and some various squelches. LA’s Kosmik picks up the tempo with “Murmurs” which features a hypnotic synth loop over a 4/4 beat. On “Chomping at the Bit” C.L.A.W.S. and Tyrell trade off between claps, hi hats and short delays underneath a sinister synth tone. To close the A side of the record is Future Blondes out of Texas with “2020 ultra visions”, a cut that can only be described as a sinister barrage of slamming drums and tones. The B side launches with “The Other Side of Town” by The White Lines, a dark electro workout with vocal samples, dark synths and growling bassline. Frigio label boss Juan Pablo brings us an intricate drum pattern with layers of synths on “Night Drive in Beijing”. “Self Feral” by Chris Mitchell is something with a hip hop swing, heavy drums, various feedback and vocals. Closing the EP is Dragee, a new artist from Tel Aviv. “Them” features a hard snare that holds together the demented vocals, claps and bassline that develop throughout the track.

For the fifth release of Thé Chaud Records, Jeff The Fool and Wilt associate their skills to make a deep sentimental EP shaped for the clubs.

The building layers of percussion coupled with lush tones and simmering vocals can bring a touch of bliss to any room. The solemn feel of Together (Original Mix) offers a message of insight and reflection on top of finely produced tribal beats and heavenly voices. The Traveler (Original Mix) is a bright light of hope with uplifting piano, mesmerizing rhythm and motivational lyrics. Exceptional smoothness found on Love Is In The Air (Original Mix) is a result of the emotional chord progression supported by its comforting words and the warm bass groove.
