Chill Out, Breaks, Psy-Trance: Tripswitch – Circuit Breaker

Release Date 2012-01-16
Genres Chill Out Breaks Psy-Trance
Label Section Records

Section Records is delighted to re-release the seminal Tripswitch album Circuit Breaker, and it’s sibling Circuit Breaker Rewired, for a 2011 audience.

Originally released on Dragonfly Records in 2005, the album landed to widespread critical acclaim and became recognised as one of the landmark releases of the psy-chill genre, establishing Nick as one of the godfathers of the scene. Tracks from the album were picked up for numerous compilation licenses by the likes of Nick Warren, Jose Padilla and Claude Challe, and continue to be licensed for compilations, TV and film – most recently “Roll Your Own” has been included in the soundtrack to the Bollywood movie “The Blueberry Hunt”.

The first release quickly sold out and 2 years later, by which time copies were changing hands on ebay for as much as $150, Dragonfly re-released it as a double CD package with a completely reworked edition with versions of each track from a clutch of the world’s top producers. Section Records has now acquired the recording rights to the album and is releasing these two gems as separate digital releases, the ‘Rewired” edition this time containing only the 2007 remixes, and finally resolving the digital distribution issues which dogged the original releases.

In the press: “Everything is very beautiful; each track starts slowly and takes you on a journey. It’s quite a sexy album.” Anoushka Shankar – New York Times, March 26, 2006 “Uplifting, surprisingly refreshing and begging to be described as ‘Psychedelic Chic’.” DJ Mag Review – 4/5 stars “Welcome, welcome, welcome.

To one of the finest chillout albums ever recorded. To the first genuinely essential chilled release of 2005.” psyreviews.com “The mighty LSD have done it again with Circuit Breaker – another classic down tempo album.” Upfront Magazine
