Future Unknown: The Lost House Trax

Conceived along the space of a few years and part of a big collection of unfinished experiments stored on cassette tapes, this eight track selection represents Fred Ventura's late '80s and early '90s infatuation with Chicago house, Detroit techno, early Warp records, and even a secret passion for EBM. Using a basic set up made of Roland Juno 106, Roland JX-8P, Oberheim DX, Roland TR909, and an Akai sampler, these tracks were never officially mixed and never meant to be released, until now. Minimal and hypnotic, dry and direct, both sides of the record show an instinctive approach to rhythms and basslines, typical of those days where computer didn't have a predominant role in the creative process. One of the Italian electronic music's best-kept secrets. Graphic design by Alessandro Adriani. Mastering by Alden Tyrell and Enrico Colombo. Solid grey vinyl; Edition of 400.
