APEX OF THE SUN'S WAY by BRAIDEN

Leftfield techno release. High paced and heavy on the synths.London-born DJ/producer Braiden returns after a two year silence, inaugurating his new label Off Out. Since debuting on Joy Orbison's Doldrums in 2010, the RBMA alumnus has gone on to remix the likes of Jacques Greene and SBTRKT, hold covetable radio slots at both RinseFM and NTS, with influential Dutch-imprint Rush Hour issuing his well received Belfry Tower/Paganini 12" in 2012. After a change of location last year, the Berlin transplant has decided the time is right to establish his own outlet and does so with Apex of the Sun's Way / Solar Poise. Having always cited a desire to balance "groove and rhythm and a strong atmosphere," he succeeds here with his own take on dancefloor music; crisp drums cutting through swathes of saturated synths and gauzy textures.
