A Cloud Passing In Front Of The Moon

Description

Perc returns to Perc Trax for his first full vinyl release since his 'Soft Launch EP' in October 2025. 'A Cloud Passing In Front Of The Moon' is Perc at his most pure and stripped back. This is techno built for DJs and dancers, the reduced atmospherics of his own 'Microtrax EP' but with a touch more power and drive to it. Pressed on crystal / purple coloured vinyl with a full colour sleeve designed by Perc Trax artwork legend Adult Art Club, this is one of the most visually stunning Perc Trax releases in the label's long history. Title track and opener 'A Cloud Passing In Front Of The Moon' sets off immediately with an offbeat clap rhythm and moody cello samples creating something unique to Perc's production catalogue, even this far into his career. Next up is 'Pure Form', the track Perc has been playing the most from the EP. Stripped to the bone techno pushed forward by two intertwining sequencer lines, topped off with subtle atmospheric pad and drone washes. 'Contact High' opens up side B of the vinyl with a looped tribal rhythm giving way to a classic Perc switch after the main break as a buzzing drone carries the track forward. Finally 'Let Go' takes things deeper as time-stretched 808 percussion provides a foundation floating pad chords and rough vocal calls, the only vocal elements on this EP. Dance floor focused but never just DJ tools, 'A Cloud Passing In Front Of The Mood' is Perc's second statement release this year after this 'Microtrax EP' in January, setting him up for a new era in his production career and a very interesting 2027.
