Brixtonstrasse / Gloria

Cosmin TRG is back on his white label operation, Sportiv. "Brixtonstrasse" explores an imaginary buffer zone between the urban angst of London's pirate transmissions and the warehouse logic of Berlin's post-Iron Curtain freedom and energy explosion. In line with the label's semiotics, "Gloria" is named after the rather unsuccessful third league football club from Cosmin's home town. It's a high octane tribal workout with fuzzy chords, in the vein of '90s luminaries like Sterac, bringing back hints of the era's unbridled energy and enthusiasm.
