XTRAPLEX RECORDS
is a chokepoint of creative morphic resonances from contemporary audio manipulators and sound designers.

BuyWinter is passing, spring will soon take over. A little late we are, but Monade managed to capture the true 2013 dark winter feeling. Fragile and tender melancholica from beyond. Known from his debute '#9' last year here at Xtraplex Roberto Donato evolves within the same artistic walls of pure electronics and golden era inspired IDM but with a more sophisticated sense of tender sound arranging. He diggs deeper into the dark corners of one's soul, or 'ghost', by recording and arraging his tracks as if they grew out of the mans mind in one fluid evolving thought. You will find yourself falling in love with nothing more then just noise and little loops, yet combined together they manage to capture perfectly that what can not be explained in words but only in sound, that what Xtraplex stands for... Abstract Sonic Excitement, Deep Dream Capturing (or whatever). We invite you to dive in, and enable repeat ;) Free download as usual we do hope you enjoy-

BuyAfter the uptempo glittery glitch idm of Iameb 57 last month we have arrived in true mid-winter vibe with this short and serene piece of ambient awe. This time no beats or fancy triangles, no glitch or post binaural organism. With 'Katharsis' The Next Commuter returns to basic dreaming and explores for us the world of layered pads, soundscapes and distant natural atmospheres. Ideal for the desolate but imaginative post apocalyptic winter feeling we all sense every once in a while. A short soundtrack for a misty paradise. If you like his sounds make sure to check out thenextcommuter.com where you can find all info, releases and where you can subscribe to his newsletter. Like always: Free download and donations or SNS shares are much appreciated-

BuyLets take a little time jump back to 2009. Right in the middle of the post-golden idm era flotsam we where greatly inspired by braindance producers of the higher bpm kind like Gavin Hislop, Fractional and bedroom wizards Genjini, Deework and Moster X, or a dude from NY who called himself 'Iameb 57' or 'Enabl.ed'. His releases on Amenorea, Ideation and Crazy Language really infused our creative ears at the time and showed us a whole other level of emotional fast paced beat producing. Now, 3 years later, that same dude from NY dropped us a demo, without knowing the impact he had on us 3 years ago, containing his to us well known style of hyper idm. He has perfectioned what he does best and delivers with this 'Ganks' a truly great addition to (y)our dreams! This album is not only a cross-atlantic morphic resonance it is as well only our second non-Belgian attribution so far, after the Italian Monade. If you like what you hear make sure to check out his other free releases at the labels mentioned above or over at Evizagae Records or Nueva Forma! Free download as usual, CD copies available for ordering and any SNS share or donation is highly appreciated! Rock On!-

BuyOur very own Tobin-offspring managed to drop us a new step in his ever expanding sonic journey. In between contests, live touring, curating and giving lectures this creative centipede dived full of energy and vision in his studio and created 'Quemira', his second drip since his acclaimed debute 'NIÑA', almost one year ago also here on Xtraplex. Different from his live sets who burst of energy and organic layered danceables his studio work explores the more abstract side of beats, crunchy but deep bass, melodic emotions and highly designed organic scapes. So, after some quiet months we are back again to throw you another effort in exciting (y)our geniculate ganglion once more! Pay what u like and any SNS share is muchos appreciated ^^ B00YA! •[-_-]•-

BuyIs it a sampler? An album? A band? A mixtape? An autonomous live set by an unknown A.I? Is it a straight recording of some granulised communication from another dimension? Nobody knows... Facts are that it sounds noisy, that it involves a lot of glitch, it is subtle and rich, spacey and wide. There are ambient like noise drones aswell as fast and slow beats in here. And though the sounds are most definitely from a digital origin they grow in such an organic manner that they get you sucked into a wormhole to some inner dimension or was it one light years away? Lets forget these question marks, just tune in. Xtraplex Records managed to capture this broadcast in the cloud and released it for your pleasure... Due to the highly conceptual and narrative nature of this release we included a mix file of all the tracks, plus we like you to see the release as a sample pack, inviting you to sample, mash, granulate and re-synthesize these awkward frequencies into your own dreamz. Oh yeah, free of charge. So spreid, share and tweet this shizzle. Donations are most welcome as well. o[-_-]o-

BuyMonade is Roberto Donato hailing from Torino, Italy and thus our first non belgian X-ist. Starting with a noisy and high squeaking intro guiding you to a pool of idm-ish ambient scapes, truly inspired by the Golden Era experiments but with a 21st century flavour, Monade feels like a bridge between moulded memories and future dreams. When he mailed us his tracks we loved his subtle no-nonsense approach on exciting our geniculate ganglions so here we are again: [xpl009], simply called: pt#9, by Monade. We do hope you enjoy, free download as usual but a little donation, tweet, share or blog review are highly appreciated-

BuyA while ago we sent out Olkin Donder to the ∆-b850411 sublayer on an expedition in order to capture rare recordings of what we understood to be some kind of inter-dimensional birth gathering. He disguised himself as a Thompson-like humanoid gonzo-recorder and together with his own inseparable visual sidekick Han Leese they became our personal representing creative ganglions out (or in) there. Some months, days, minutes or whatever later they returned to our anticipating midst with this 43 min poetic sci-fi fairy tale ... Yet, another Xtraplex debut release was oozed... Free download as usual, but donation, tweet, blahblah, are highly appreciated-

BuyComing from Leuven, this young talented film student creates emotional beats to nod your head to. We came across his sound when he invited Olkin Donder to play a set at his birthday party, at which he performed a little liveset himself. Hearing his personal yet very accessible future beat like idm sound we became very interested in releasing his debut. We were glad when he spontaneously asked himself if he could release on Xtraplex. Morphic resonance seemed a fact so here we are, releasing yet another superb intro to the world. Again we drop it for free, but a donation, tweet or share would be highly appreciated.-

BuyAfter a small ten months of x-istence we have reached our sixth release already. We have stumbled upon a rare semi artificial organism crawling his way up onto the soundcloud. Ynoji is a 'collective' zooming around the beginning bedroom wizard Lucian Ditulescu who got inspired three years ago by a live set of our S'kp to jump into the fruity-vortex and start oozing wonders. He produces hyper driven tortured mechanic emotions from an unknown A.I. trying to mimic organic feelings. Ynoji is beyond any genre or style, he is pure sound and the energy it produces. Enough dream-talk; letz listen to that shit, it is available for free, but a little donation, a share or a tweet are highly appreciated-

BuyDrawn to his very personal skills in the art of old school idm and electronica making mangling them with tender ambient scapes and melodies, we invited this humble bedroom producer from Antwerp to throw in a selection of his finest homegrown tracks. Cheerfull we where when he agreed and not so much later here we are, presenting to you: 'Wolk EP', an introduction to the Virlyn universe.

BuyFinaly we reach the outer Flex Nebulae, discovered by our very own frequency researcher Kingstux who managed to record its communication. We are hereby most proud to present to you a very divers story told in the universal language of electronica. From glitchy subscape organisms and emotional tender tronix to some danceable dub oriented idm and vocal based granular wonders Kingstux delivers Xtraplex Records his debut album. After releasing his preview ep 'Watch the Stars' at Planet Terror Records in 2009 he decided to stay loyal to them and release there a second part of the Flex Nebulae: 'Geeks and Parasites'.

BuyAfter releasing on netlabels as illphabetik.com and dramacore.com Akwalek decided to deliver us again an awesome subcultural freebie!

Doing this he stays true to his never dying harsh emotional approach. Grab, listen and share this fast paced heart pounding ride, to listen to on lonely abstract days.-

BuyContemporary artist Lieven Stockx did an exposition at Yard Gallery in Leuven 09/04/2011 - 06/06/2011 and asked us to release the Official Soundtrack he made for it.

Available only during the expo and direct mailorder for as little as 17eur. We also released a digital package, for the afterlife and the ease of it.-

Wtf?

What a joyful almost-spring day, a bursting sun after an amazing full moon.The kind of sunday normal people would take a nice family walk in the park, with the dog and some picknick.
No no no, ‘Perfect intermezzo for a newborn electronic music label’ we thought, after five years of preparation.
Time is now to give birth to a chokepoint of creative morphic resonances from electronic audio waveform engineers with a strange odor. Not?
The youngster will be known by the name ‘Xtraplex’ as in an extra plexus, an extra burning flame of creative power and a reference to ‘oldskool’ hero labels like Metroplex & Rephlex.We mainly do digital releases on the cloud using these direct resellers:
