█▒║ Release Notes ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Trafik / Bio: ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ With every incisive musical move, Trafik move closer and closer to ║▒█
█▒║ the forefront of the musical world, both in an electronic and a ║▒█
█▒║ mainstream sense. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ The creation of the now renowned "Electric Calm" series, labelled by ║▒█
█▒║ Jive magazine in the US as "the best chill out CD(s) ever" the ║▒█
█▒║ jaw-dropping big name remixes for the likes of Dave Seaman, their ║▒█
█▒║ debut singles "Your Light" and "Echoes" which dominated dance floors ║▒█
█▒║ from Miami to Melbourne and now, with the inception of "Bullet", ║▒█
█▒║ their "genre destroying" debut long player, the band has arrived to ║▒█
█▒║ set a new precedent for the standard of new sounds and help ║▒█
█▒║ re-establish electronic music as the true future of the modern ║▒█
█▒║ music.s ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Trafik were formed in a flash of fate, as two people came to the ║▒█
█▒║ pinnacle of their respective musical projects in 1999. Andrew ║▒█
█▒║ Archer, was at this time becoming one of dance musicÆs most wanted ║▒█
█▒║ re-mixers as one part of the Forth, alongside Global Underground ║▒█
█▒║ founder, James Todd, and the current manager of Dave Seaman's Audio ║▒█
█▒║ Therapy label, Scott Dawson. The trio had achieved huge notoriety ║▒█
█▒║ re-mixing the top 40 hit, BT ' Loving You More, cementing them as ║▒█
█▒║ producers who's output was contently on demand from the original ║▒█
█▒║ heavyweight DJs themselves, namely Sasha and Digweed. Over the years ║▒█
█▒║ their careers saw them charged to apply the Forth power to acts as ║▒█
█▒║ diverse as Dutch Trance legend "Taucher", to the flailing legs of ║▒█
█▒║ the Lord of the Dance himself, Michael Flattely. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Andrew, with the aid of Scott Dawson then developed the Forth as an ║▒█
█▒║ all conquering DJ outfit that would see them become just as wanted ║▒█
█▒║ and successful as any of their previous productions, and also saw ║▒█
█▒║ them travel to the four corners of the globe in the process. One ║▒█
█▒║ memorable moment being Andrew's show on the Great Wall of China, ║▒█
█▒║ this was the first performance by a western DJ in China; contrary to ║▒█
█▒║ a claim made by a certain Mr. Oakenfold. All of this culminated in ║▒█
█▒║ the release of the Forth's debut E.P, Reality Detached, the title ║▒█
█▒║ track of which has often been described by DJ Hyper, as his ║▒█
█▒║ favourite track of all time. Also featuring on this E.P was a ║▒█
█▒║ destructive club track by the name of Solavox, featuring vocals from ║▒█
█▒║ a certain singer named, John Elliott. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Previous to this first meeting of minds, John had been living the ║▒█
█▒║ life of a rock band member since leaving school at the tender age of ║▒█
█▒║ 16 to go on tour with the widely loved British indie band Solavox. ║▒█
█▒║ Over a period of three years John would experience the highs and ║▒█
█▒║ lows of the music industry ranging from being the youngest ║▒█
█▒║ songwriter on Polygram's books in a deal worth over a quarter of a ║▒█
█▒║ million pounds, to the cold and lonely road home after the pulls of ║▒█
█▒║ rock and roll excess laid waste to the band labelled by Melody ║▒█
█▒║ Maker, "even better than the real U2". Although there are no ║▒█
█▒║ regrets, this time on the road gave John a grounding education in ║▒█
█▒║ the world of live music, now being able to not only sing but play ║▒█
█▒║ guitar both axe and bass, keyboards and "a bit of drums!" experience ║▒█
█▒║ that cannot be taught. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ However, fail they did, leaving John back in his hometown of ║▒█
█▒║ Newcastle upon Tyne, looking for work. This search landed him in the ║▒█
█▒║ offices of Global Underground, a place that would both seal his ║▒█
█▒║ conversion from the depths of rock to his newfound love of all ║▒█
█▒║ things electronic and introduce him to Andrew as colleagues at the ║▒█
█▒║ worldÆs most exclusive dance label. This spurred a new ability to be ║▒█
█▒║ creative musically outside of the confines of a band scenario. ║▒█
█▒║ Working as vocalist with dance music super group Tilt in the studios ║▒█
█▒║ of Celvin AndrewÆs, the man responsible for Robbie William's Brit ║▒█
█▒║ Award winning "Rock DJ", and with fellow GU worker John Paul Denton ║▒█
█▒║ under the pseudonyms of Avatar and Spector, all the while honing the ║▒█
█▒║ all important production skills essential to the sound of Trafik. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Out of this huge range of experience, Trafik was born. Combining the ║▒█
█▒║ DJing and programming skills of Andrew Archer and the live ability ║▒█
█▒║ and production skills of John Elliott, the pair has formed one of ║▒█
█▒║ the most dynamic forces in dance music, if not music itself, today. ║▒█
█▒║ Their experience has been revered by the likes of Nick Warren, using ║▒█
█▒║ productions from the duo on three of his four Global Underground ║▒█
█▒║ albums, Dave Seaman, who has required their re-mixing skills for his ║▒█
█▒║ label Audio Therapy on more than one occasion and their synonymous ║▒█
█▒║ career with Global Underground mixing nine compilation albums all of ║▒█
█▒║ which have collectively amassed well over a million sales in total. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ But it doesn't stop there with the cinematic experience that is ║▒█
█▒║ "Bullet" their debut album, expect the band to become more a part of ║▒█
█▒║ everyday life than just huge in the clubbing world. Bullet has ║▒█
█▒║ already been described as "...hugely diverse,"genre destroying" and ║▒█
█▒║ "ultimately powerful" by the press and this is a full month before ║▒█
█▒║ its release, but why does it deserve such merit? ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ Beginning in a wash of Eno cinematic atmosphere, the album kicks of ║▒█
█▒║ into the hazy neo-rock and roll world of new single "Echoes", then ║▒█
█▒║ travels through the seedy club musings of "Disco Trafiko", finishing ║▒█
█▒║ in the orchestral tinged masterpiece that is "Surrender". Along the ║▒█
█▒║ way there are guest appearances in the form of the lead singer of ║▒█
█▒║ post-rock menace, Peace Burial at Sea, namely Jonny "Riggers" ║▒█
█▒║ Longrigg who's angst ridden vocals and demonic guitar playing can be ║▒█
█▒║ heard on "Escape From", and the soulful, folk-tinged vocal ║▒█
█▒║ appearances of Rachel Lamb on the anti-war mantra "Into the Wind" ║▒█
█▒║ and shuddering, whispering messages on the album finale "Surrender". ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ The album features too many high points to list all, but whether ║▒█
█▒║ it's frantic or subtle, simple or complex "Bullet" maintains the ║▒█
█▒║ Trafik ethos of size, clarity and power û a true cinematic ║▒█
█▒║ performance. ║▒█
█▒║ ║▒█
█▒║ What now for Trafik, well in simplicity, to carry on with the ║▒█
█▒║ creation, promising to carry on with the exploration into the true ║▒█
█▒║ depths of electronica, choosing to fuse and era and any style of ║▒█
█▒║ music. The looming second album, which will undoubtedly spur them ║▒█
█▒║ into the arena of live performance. Continuing to develop their ║▒█
█▒║ newly built recording studio; Loft Studios. And more precisely, on ║▒█
█▒║ the horizon is a host of promotional exercises to launch their debut ║▒█
█▒║ album. First up is there new single "Echoes", which is released on ║▒█
█▒║ September 20th, next is an hour long show on John Digweed's Kiss FM ║▒█
█▒║ program which is to air on October à Then on and on they go, a host ║▒█
█▒║ of remixes already loom, of which details will be released in the ║▒█
█▒║ future, but whatever happens I'm sure they will never be too far ║▒█
█▒║ away. Trafik rarely are. ║▒█
