Having made a huge impact amid Carl Craig's celebrated 2019 entry in Planet E's Detroit Love mix compilation series, Ataxia's anthemic "Oblivion" arrives on vinyl for the first time alongside a new cut, "Michaelangelos." Each track takes Ataxia's notoriously detailed production techniques and applies them to a widescreen, enveloping template. Constructed from rubbery basslines, wormholes of rave power, and a structure that applies tension and release to killer effect, "Oblivion" has continued to engross dancers since it's release, transmitting an increasingly rare blend of minimal yet maximal rave pleasures. On "Michaelangelos," Ataxia further demonstrates a fluid ability to keep listeners on their toes, shuffling the deck but applying the same irresistible tricks to a rhythmic, tripping cut and the unexpected sample at it's core. Consisting of Eric Ricker and Ted Krisko, Ataxia have previously released on labels including Visionquest, 2020 Vision, Leftroom, and Kevin Saunderson's KMS Recordings. They currently hold down long-term residencies at the legendary Marble Bar and TV Lounge in their hometown of Detroit.
