AbraxXxas and I.O.T Records are coming back, just a year after the release of the album « Elektron(s) ». The Marseille « electronic music factory » hasn’t stand idle. « Elektron[s] Remix » is an encounter between raw rap and electronic music, pushing forward the boundaries of sonic admixture, composed by a multiple-choice music producers.

Following the original version, where various composers worked on the productions, leaving the space to our hip-hopatom to fuse over with his substantial voice. A team of new producers have been on a mission to create from scratch new tracks, keeping AbraxXxas accapelas andBPM from the original album.
« Elektrons V2 » is a promenade between dubstep and electronica, flirting from time to time with many electro influences.
Abraxxxas is without doubt the black sheep of the French hip-hop scene. He likes to overlap various atmospheres in order to expend his universe…question of survival!

For this second project around Elektron[S], this time only available in digital the producers are:

Morganistic, Dragongaz (Interlope), Stalk, Mandibull (Caterva), Rimshot (Interlope) Dead Clown, Niveau 0, L’œuf raide, Mr Sushisooshamp, Automat, Brainbreakazz, Taös, Unstatic, Enkô, The Space Invaders.

1-Morganistic
At first, Morganistic is just an excuse set up by two electronic music freaks in order to spend hours throwing at each other’s heavy basslines on various electro beats.
Assuming that the passion has taken over, it results from it a fixation to produce high quality sounds mixing hip-hop and neurofunk styles….for a very efficient effect.
