Tractile.net has gone largely unmaintained for 2008. A side effect of busy artists self-maintaining their own website. For current tour date information, please visit m-nus.com.

A new tractile.net may be on the horizon. Stay tuned.

Tractile’s “The Eel” is now available, as bonus material to a sleek new compilation from MINUS. Available on the limited edition USB card and now digitally on m-nus.com and Beatport. Check out the MINUS site for more info.

The Sonar festival is just around the corner. As previously announced here, Tractile will be playing a live show at Sonar along with labelmate JPLS. The Sonar festival and time surrounding it is packed with amazing parties and shows both at and away from the official festival venues. Magda, Gaiser, Troy Pierce, and Richie Hawtin will all be playing as well. Check the Minus site for more info.

A Minus showcase presenting live performances from TRACTILE and JPLS will take place at this year’s Sonar festival in Barcelona, Spain.

Richie Hawtin will also play at Sonar and the festival will be host to plenty of talent that suit the festival’s mission to deliver “advanced music and multimedia art.” Sonar takes place on the 14th, 15th and 16th of June.
