Palms Trax has shared “Soft Trance, Hard Gossip”, his first solo single since 2021 taken from forthcoming two-track EP Keys To A Printed Garden, arriving via fabric.
Blending driving basslines, bursts of acid and euphoric synth work, the track balances club-ready energy with a more reflective edge, making it equally suited to late-night dancefloors and quieter moments.
On the release, Palms Trax took to social media: “I actually have a single out today in news I can scarcely believe myself. I once read that John Maus spent five years building his own synthesiser thinking it would give his music a fresh edge only to realise afterwards it sounded exactly the same, and much like that this is a continuation of my~sentimental dance music for YouTube~ aesthetic the long way round.
I always loved the fabric mix series coming of age and admire any institution that survives a monster stint in clubland so it felt like a natural home. Looking forward to getting more out with them in the near and not so distant future!”
The release precedes the EP’s title track, Keys To A Printed Garden, which expands on Palms Trax’s melodic house sound through warm grooves and subtle experimental flourishes, further showcasing his ability to bridge dance music with immersive songwriting.
