To celebrate our opening night tomorrow at Wire, we are putting out a very special Hogcast from one of our headline acts for the evening.

This instalment of the Schwein Promo series comes to you from electronica extraordinaire and hardware specialist, Perseus Traxx.

Nigelʼs releases are made for vinyl and nod towards the heritage of Chicago and Detroit while maintaining an element of distance; recognising a style without outrightly copying it and trying to be like something else. The sound comes from the limits of the machines used for production. With a keen interest in hardware, he generally makes music with an aim to being able to perform it live, limiting himself to a few effects and rack-mounted synths, as well as his MPC, xoxbox and TR-707. This said, no single show is like the previous, with mixdowns and improvisations constantly changing depending on the atmosphere in the club.

Live performances over the last 12 months have included, but are not limited to, The Boiler Room in London, as well as Tresor and About Blank in Berlin, Le Batofar and Machine du Moulin Rogue in Paris, and the Magic Waves Festival in Berlin.

Now coming to you from our humble Schwein headquarters, is Nigel's very own vinyl only mix.

We hope you enjoy the next hour of music and hope to see you on the dancefloor at Wire tomorrow x
