Hantrax is the Belgian-born Han Swolfs, an increasingly compelling figure who originally trained on cello and piano and was an inductee of Antwerp Jazz Studio in 1999. He was forced to step back in 2002 after a period of psychosis, but undeterred, he pivoted to electronic production and honed a distinctive electro sound. Tracks From The Basement 2 showcases his experimental edge: faster tempos, wild synths and chaotic rhythms create a dramatic sound world spanning older compositions and newer explorations. Hantrax is a high-calibre circuit bender who brings a sense of the new to classic electro.
