Rhythm Trax Vol. 3 & 4





Baron Zen’s Rhythm Trax Vol. 3 is the third installment of Stones Throw’s DJ Friendly Rhythm Trax Series (preceded by James Pants and DJ Romes), and the follow-up to his early 90s four-track post-punk masterpiece, At The Mall.
On Vol. 3, Baron Zen departs from his garage band roots summoning the spiritual essence of early 80’s electro pioneers such as Alexander Robotnik
and Ryuchi Sakamoto. The soundscapes of this Rhythm Trax contribution satisfy the need for synth-drenched funk while maintaining a murky atmosphere intended to move even the haughtiest New Wave revivalist.

Dam Funk’s Rhythm Trax Vol. 4 is the fourth installment of Stones Throw’s DJ friendly Rhythm Trax series (preceded by James Pants, DJ Romes, & Baron Zen), and the follow-up to his debut 12-inch release entitled “Burgundy City b/w Galactic Fun.” On Vol. 4 Dam maintains the instrumental theme, displaying his technical mastery of old school drum machines and early 80s analog synthesizers. The soundscapes of this Rhythm Trax contribution provide enough bass to rattle trunks while maintaining colorful melodies perfect for even the most intimate moments.
