Label boss Craig Hamilton returns with a long awaited EP packed with acid & funk. Crank Dat has already been in rotation with several heads within the scene, a straight up 303 heavy hitter with stacks of 909 kicks & 808 claps.
We are very exicted to welcome Robsoul supermo Phil Weeks onto the label & he has been let loose on the remix. Phil strips back the original & lays down a far dubbier workout while still retaining elements of the original.
Backed with a solid slab of funk as Dr Grinspoon takes his revenge with a new updated remix of “Disko” a track from Craigs’ previous outing “Back to the grind EP”
Support from Hector Moralez, DJ Heather, Miss Mee & more

Le Babar is the latest export from Belgium aside from Chocolates & Beer. He began producing tracks in 2009 & from there he has had several releases under his belt on various labels, Including Groove traxx which he co-owns.

Flatpack Traxx is proud to present our 36th release. Romanian producer Marcman steps up to the plate with his second full length EP. Which follows on from his successful outing on The Factory earlier in the year.
We are really excited to be working with such a talented young producer who we think has a long future ahead of him in the underground scene. His tracks can only be described as old school house with a bit of tech & a new school twist.
Marcman has taken influences from both techno & house to create his own unique sound. All four of his original works here showcase something for everyone, backed by a remix from label boss Craig Hamilton.
