I’m fully digging Narctrax right now. As far as I can tell, Narctrax is for the most part Tokyo DJ, Eddie Van Narc, and when needed, the mysterious Zsa on guitars (oh that rhymes!). Anyway, it’s really trancey, but not in that terrible I-need-to-be-on-like-a-KAZILLION-pills-to-appreciate-it kind of way. I really enjoy Journey. It’s smooth, and atmospheric and just a little bit epic. All it needs is an accompanying film clip with two attractive Japanese anime twenty-somethings trekking their way across a mountain range with a talking unicorn who sprouts wise musings every once in a while. Someone should get right on that….
Mixing with the likes of CSS, Chicks on Speed, and soon Hot Chip, Narctrax holds good company, and the really big news of late is that he’s doing a remix for the so-hot-right-now LA noise band, HEALTH, following in the footsteps of names like Crystal Castles and CFCF. I can only imagine how primal and epic THAT will be.

Yeah! He messaged me about the post and said he’s going to be playing at Eurotrash. Damn Sydney.
