Cheekily dubbed as the west country-born, Berlin-based underground star by BBC<\/a>‘s Pete Tong<\/a>, Palms Trax<\/a> has finally made his debut in the Essential Mix<\/a> DJ booth.<\/p>\n

Real name\u00a0Jay Donaldson, Palms Trax’ ubiquity in the dance world is becoming increasingly deserved as time carries on. He has bold sonic inclinations\u00a0and an unabashed M.O. where he moves between genres and decades with ease \u2014 rare for someone as young as he. Despite being just 26-years-old, Donaldson’s encyclopedic musical expertise has situated him as an artist who’s\u00a0talented beyond his years, if one were to see age as but a limit on such a thing.<\/p>\n

Donaldson’s Essential Mix\u00a0is steeped in a\u00a0resplendent\u00a0arrangement of classic dance tracks, from Angela’s 1984 “I Gotta Little Love,” to hidden gem house tracks from World Building records’ “Para\u00edso ’89” by Azura. His splicing of\u00a0Azura’s track alone is a\u00a0testament to his adroit crate digging, especially considering that\u00a0Azura’s breezy Balearic business was extremely short-lived in the Italian house realm, she’s an act who’s slipped through the cracks for most.<\/p>\n

Palms Trax has expressed he’ll be working on material for Dekmantel<\/a> throughout the beginning of the new year and after listening to his deliverance of just the second Essential Mix of 2018, just following Carl Cox<\/a>, one can only hope to see big things from\u00a0Donaldson in the new year.<\/p>\n
