Up next on Train Recordings we have a more experimental two track single, from label boss Jaxx.
These were both inspired by and written after his travels to Peru in 2019 and really capture the essence of what he heard, saw and felt during his time in the two cities.
Jaxx - Cusco:- Definitely the most mystical city that he has ever had the privilege of visiting, and the city that you must pass through to experience Machu Picchu, it is like no other place he had ever seen, with an extremely high altitude of 3400 metres above sea level in the Andes mountains, which despite being a bustling location it still feels rural considering you can see snow capped mountains in the distance, many sacred historical sites and how quick you can literally be in the middle of nowhere. The Peruvian pan pipes that guide you through the intro are in the style of what you will hear played by street musicians in the city and surrounding areas, complemented by really unique drum work and bass synthesis. This track aims to have you grooving hard and put you right there in Cusco city!
Jaxx - Lima:- Known as the "City of Kings" Lima is the capital of Peru and second biggest city in the world that is built on a desert, it has a climate that is arid and subtropical and it is on the west coast of Peru where the land meets the pacific ocean. If you ever fly to Peru, chances are that you would land at the airport in Lima. You can hear from the start that there's more of an urban feel on this one, with some deep strings and keys taking you through to the drop. When the bass hits it's definitely got a harder, gritty sound about it, city vibes a'run!
We hope you can enjoy the different styles of this release and keep in tune for what's coming next...!
