MOTEL PHANTASMA makes a powerful introduction on Razor-N-Tape Records with their debut release, the Claptrap EP, which dropped on September 12, 2025. This fiery double A-side 7” vinyl presents a mysterious production duo with a clear vision: to combine club-ready energy with serious musical depth.
The EP’s title track, “Claptrap,” is a true peak-time banger. It’s built on a foundation of slippery electronic percussion and razor-sharp synths, all underscored by commanding vocal chants sung in Portuguese. The track builds into an intense rush, creating a powerful and captivating experience perfect for the dancefloor.
Flipping the vinyl over reveals “Noude,” featuring the captivating vocals of Kaleta. This track shifts gears entirely, embracing a bouncy Afro-boogie vibe. It feels more organic, yet it still delivers a relentlessly catchy hook that will stick in your head long after the song ends. The contrast between these two tracks perfectly showcases MOTEL PHANTASMA’s versatility and their knack for crafting infectious grooves.
Presented in a beautiful full-color jacket, the Claptrap EP is an essential late-summer listen for anyone who loves house and techno and is searching for fresh sounds with a distinct global flair. The release is available on 7” vinyl and can also be streamed or downloaded digitally through Bandcamp. It’s a perfect example of Razor-N-Tape’s commitment to pushing underground electronic music to new heights.
