BODIN — Zollamt 101 EP

Bodin – Zollamt 101 EP arrives on Pressure Traxx as catalogue PTX036, a 12-inch vinyl-only offering that sits comfortably at the intersection of progressive house, tech house and acid-tinged rhythms. The release’s three cuts promise a concise yet varied journey, underscored by the label’s reputation for forward-looking club music. Within the Pressure Traxx roster, PTX036 follows the recent PTX035 “Loose In The Function EP” by Elia Nafzger and sits alongside earlier outings such as the 2025 “Drive By EP” (PTX032) and the 2023 “10 Years Pressure Traxx Vinyl Compilation” (PTX030). The catalogue’s progression from PTX028 “Beneath The Beauty EP” through PTX033 “Farewell EP” and PTX034 “True Story EP” illustrates a consistent focus on deep, groove-centric productions, making Bodin’s return a natural continuation of the label’s aesthetic. Side A opens with “Remember The Truth”. The title hints at a reflective mood, and the track delivers a steady, evolving groove that aligns with the progressive house side of the release while retaining a subtle tech house edge. Its structure offers DJs a flexible launch point, capable of anchoring the early part of a set or serving as a bridge between more melodic and rhythm-driven moments. The B-side begins with “Ghetto Frequency”. The name evokes an underground, raw energy, and the cut leans into the acid house vein of the EP, providing a darker, more driving pulse that can heighten tension on the dancefloor. Its placement after “Remember The Truth” creates a contrast that moves the set from introspection to a more kinetic focus. Closing the record is “zxtra 369”. This final piece continues the acid-infused vibe while adding a slightly more experimental tilt, suggested by the cryptic title. As the EP’s concluding statement, it offers a looping, hypnotic quality that works well for late-night transitions, allowing the DJ to either wind down a set or propel it into a deeper, more immersive phase. In the context of Bodin’s output, this EP marks a re-engagement with Pressure Traxx after a period of silence, reaffirming the artist’s affinity for the label’s blend of progressive structures and tech-house swagger. Within the broader catalogue, PTX036 contributes another facet to the label’s commitment to vinyl-only releases that prioritize tactile, analog-centric listening experiences. For DJs, the record’s three-track format provides clear functional tools: “Remember The Truth” as an opening or melodic anchor, “Ghetto Frequency” for building momentum, and “zxtra 369” as a closing or late-set mood setter. Collectors will appreciate the exclusive vinyl format, which aligns with Pressure Traxx’s ongoing dedication to physical releases that reward hands-on interaction. The release is pressed as a 12-inch exclusive vinyl, reflecting the label’s focus on high-quality analog output. Its straightforward packaging emphasizes the music itself, without additional embellishments. Bodin – Zollamt 101 EP, Pressure Traxx PTX036, exclusive 12-inch vinyl, three tracks. Tracklist: A1.
