Artist:	TRAX, MARA
Title:	Heartbreaker
Label:	CYCLICAL TRACKS (SPAIN)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	CYCLICAL 009EP

"Vera & Miss Fitz, together as Mara Trax, are back on Cyclical Tracks with another 12" that ventures into the endless and hypnotic groove of a couple that knows how to build a dance machine. With only two previous releases for Cyclical Tracks & Oslo (the wonderful EPs The Esensual and ...It Got Me Funk), Mara Trax would love to live in that era where house music was all about analog equipment, an era where Chicago was the biggest city on any map. Heartbreaker starts with 'Sambad,' a slow-burning monster that embraces you with delicacy and lots of funk, while 'Strange Moods' brings melancholy and swing thanks to Nina Simone's beauty. Together with those two hits, we find another two 'Sambad' versions to be pushed again onto the dancefloor. Music that arises with a feeling of intimacy, an invitation to enjoy music from the heart."

Title:	...It Got Me Funk
Label:	OSLO (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	OSLO 005EP

"Oslo continues to innovate and deliver the next generation of dance music. This time they are presenting Mara Trax, alter ego of Vera Heindel & Maayan Nidam aka Miss Fitz. You may recognize Vera as Robert Johnson's princess, or outside of Frankfurt as the DJ that converted a lot of dancing shoes into dust. Maayan on the other hand, is known for her outstanding releases on Raum..musik, Circus Company etc. as well as 'the small DJ that plays big sets.' The two share a passion for raw, old school house grooves which makes their futuristic production style so unique & deep. The EP starts off with 'Funk Me,' an irresistible groove bomb that takes you high using colorful yet tasteful layers of house chords & acid bass. Moving on to 'Me Funk,' you'll find the beautiful dubby version of the same composition, perfect for a morning-haze DJ set as it keeps a slow moving and hypnotic groove. On the flip side, the beautiful tenderness of what you heard is losing its innocence and spices up to an intelligent house track: 'Let Goose.' It's a new breed of dance music that keeps the groove on while exploring new territories in music & challenging them. Finally, 'The Rhythm.' A track with a promising name that follows through, staying true to the Oslo sound of sophisticated club bombs with a wink."
