Hugo Trist — Ready For The Fix

After releasing a series of singles through Mouthwatering Records since October 2023, Hugo Trist now presents his first full-length album, "Ready For The Fix." With his debut, he demonstrates his talent for blending the melancholic features of future garage and synth wave with the captivating intensity of fat bass drones and syncopated 2-step garage beats. Using analog synthesizers and looping techniques, Hugo Trist harks back to an era where electronic music felt more tactile and personal, while modern sound production ensures that his music is firmly planted in the present. This duality is what makes his sound so compelling: it’s a bridge between the old and the new, the familiar and the unknown.

"Ready For The Fix" also stands out for its emotional and soul-drenched vocals appearing on the majority of the tracks. Most of the lyrics are sung by Hugo Trist himself or by his musical companion, Nin Lil. Whether through minimalistic vocal fragments (e.g., "Understand Me Now" or "Owe You") or expanded vocal passages (e.g., "In Our Ashes" or "Rest A While"), the vocals on "Ready For The Fix" convey a sense of longing, desire, and the relentless pursuit of joy in times of darkness. With "Ready For The Fix," Hugo Trist connects with people in a way that transcends time and evokes authentic emotions, resonating through hearts and hi-fi systems alike. His debut album is a touching tribute to nostalgic yet futuristic electronica, creating a magnetic pull for those who seek the enchanting convergence of somber moods and electrifying rushes of euphoria.
