About Release
Louie Fresco – Get High EP arrives on Rawax Records as catalogue RWX031, a 12-inch vinyl that slots neatly into the label’s groove-centric minimal techno and house aesthetic. Issued on 2 November 2026, the EP continues Rawax’s reputation for delivering tracks that balance subtle swing with club-ready propulsion, and it marks the latest addition to the label’s RWX series.
Within Rawax’s recent output, Get High EP follows the earlier releases “Monostereo/ Kornflakes” (RV-10) and “The Lineage EP” (RAWAX-S028) while preceding the upcoming “Take Your Time” (RXT-11) and “PLAN Z” (RAWAX-S029). This positioning underscores the label’s current focus on stripped-back rhythms that favour hypnotic repetition over maximalist excess, a thread that runs through the EP’s four cuts.
Side A opens with “Deus Ex”, a track that immediately establishes a deep, looping groove suited to the opening moments of a set. Its steady pulse creates a spacious backdrop that invites subtle layering. The follow-up, “Erase It”, shifts the mood slightly, offering a more restrained atmosphere that feels like a contemplative bridge between the two sides, maintaining the minimal techno vibe while providing a moment for the DJ to transition.
On the flip side, “Dynamite!” injects a burst of kinetic energy, its driving rhythm designed to re-ignite momentum on the dancefloor. The final cut, “Get High”, rounds the EP with a smooth, elevated feel that ties back to the opening groove of “Deus Ex”, giving the record a cohesive arc that works well for both peak-time peaks and late-night wind-downs.
Louie Fresco’s recent discography includes the “Splitter EP” on Mikro Records (MIKRO002, 2026) and “Pride” on FA>IE Records (FR016, 2023). While those releases explored slightly different textures, Get High EP reaffirms Fresco’s command of minimal techno’s core elements, delivering a focused set of tracks that complement the artist’s evolving palette.
In the broader context of Rawax’s 2026 catalogue, the EP contributes to a year dense with forward-thinking releases from a range of artists, from the Balearic-tinged “Balearic Abrasions” by Devi G. to the more experimental “Carretera de las Aguas EP” by Saktu. Get High EP stands out by delivering a concise, club-ready statement that aligns with the label’s emphasis on groove and subtle progression.
For DJs, the record offers a versatile toolkit: “Deus Ex” and “Erase It” provide deep, looping foundations for early-set building, while “Dynamite!” and “Get High” supply the kinetic lift needed for peak moments or to re-engage a crowd. Collectors will appreciate the EP’s placement within Rawax’s cohesive output and its clear articulation of minimal techno’s evolving language.
The release is pressed as a standard 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of the label’s recent offerings and ensuring compatibility with traditional turntable setups.
