Over the past decade, Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based DJ and techno producer Raxon, known to friends and family as Ahmed Raxon, has popped out a steady stream of twelve-inch singles, precision-tooled, for labels like Cocoon, Drumcode, Diynamic, Truesoul, and Ellum Audio. An alumni of Kompakt’s Speicher series – check the insistent, vibrating pulses of ‘The Ancient’ and ‘Dark Light’ on 2019’s Speicher 107 – with Sound Of Mind, Raxon has produced a long-awaited debut album that’s ready and aching both for the dancefloor and the boudoir, traversing the heat of the club and the warmth of the home.

‘Vice’ is the first single from his debut album ‘Sound Of Mind’ out June 18t on Kompakt. Beautifully sculpted, the alien breakbeat action of ‘Vice’ pays tribute to the interstellar tones of Foul Play or Steve Gurley but is no retro trip.
