ZYA — True Story EP

Zya – True Story EP arrives on Pressure Traxx as catalogue PTX034, an exclusive vinyl offering that slots into the label’s forward-looking minimal house and techno house aesthetic. The debut release for Zya on the imprint presents three cuts that lean into tripped-out electronics, signalling a fresh voice within the label’s roster. Pressure Traxx’s recent output has woven a thread of experimental club music, from Transparent Sound’s “Beneath The Beauty EP” (PTX028, 2022) to the expansive “10 Years Pressure Traxx Vinyl Compilation” (PTX030, 2023). PTX034 follows the “Drive By EP” (PTX032, 2025) and “Farewell EP” (PTX033) in a catalogue that consistently pushes the boundaries of minimal groove. Zya’s entry arrives alongside upcoming releases such as Elia Nafzger’s “Loose In The Function EP” (PTXS014) and Dan Andrei’s “Clockworks EP” (PTX031), reinforcing the label’s commitment to forward-thinking dancefloor material. Side A opens with “Black Light”, a track that immediately immerses the listener in a shadowy, synth-driven atmosphere, setting a moody tone for the side. Its counterpart, “True Story”, continues the exploration of warped electronic textures, providing a subtle shift in mood while maintaining the record’s cohesive minimal vibe. The B-side delivers “Manifesto”, a piece that deepens the hypnotic feel, offering a darker, more introspective conclusion that balances the EP’s overall palette. Within Zya’s nascent discography, this EP marks the first appearance on Pressure Traxx, positioning the artist among peers who have cultivated a reputation for nuanced, club-ready productions. The record’s placement alongside the label’s recent releases underscores a shared focus on stripped-back yet compelling electronic narratives that resonate on both the dancefloor and the headphones. For DJs, the three tracks afford versatile insertion points: “Black Light” works as an opening or transition piece with its enveloping ambience, “True Story” offers a mid-set groove that can sustain momentum, and “Manifesto” provides a deeper, more reflective moment suitable for late-night sets. Collectors will appreciate the exclusive vinyl format, which captures the tactile experience of the label’s aesthetic. The release is pressed as an exclusive 12-inch vinyl, aligning with Pressure Traxx’s preference for analog-first presentations that highlight the textural depth of minimal house and techno house productions.
