PREMIERE: Truant J - Just Stay With It [Skryptöm Records]

French label Skryptöm is moving a step forward with a new release. A hallway is somewhere you pass through. Not the room you have left, not the room you are heading for — just the stretch in between, where the sound from both sides bleeds together and nothing has quite resolved. Truant.J has built a career in that kind of space. The Victoria-based artist works between the dance floor and the esoteric, and Dancing In The Hallway is the clearest statement of that yet: eight tracks of techno made as much from texture and atmosphere as from drums, functional enough for the floor and strange enough to stay with you afterwards. The record marks his return to Skryptöm after the collaborative album with Moteka — this time alone. It is a natural fit. Nearly twenty years in, Antoine Husson’s label has never had much interest in the obvious, and has built its catalogue on artists who treat techno as a language rather than a formula. TRUANT J ”DANCING IN THE HALLWAY LP” lands on Skryptöm on 11th September 2026. Tracklist: 1. Natural Beauty 2. Just Stay With It 3. Whisper Regret 4. Ground Lean 5. Mechanical Irrelevance 6. Rotting Monument 7. Valley Of Glass 8.
