The rise of Palms Trax reads like a fairytale. Hailing from the English Riviera, he landed a job at one of London’s leading record shops, where he discovered the masters of Chicago house and Detroit techno. A few years later, his primitive attempts to emulate the sound of his new heroes accidentally landed him a bona fide hit: Equation. A steady stream of EPs have since allowed him to move in richer, smoother directions. Palms Trax’s sound quickly became a fixture on the international scene, drifting seamlessly between vintage house, esoteric disco and the various shades of a bubbling UK underground he has helped to define.
