Very pleased to showcase yet another Glasgow-based act for our third Invisible Inc digital-only release.

This time it's French duo Double Discone who upped sticks from Clermont-Ferrand in late 2016 and landed in Glasgow on their feet running. They've got no less than 23 shows under their belt since their debut at an Invisible Inc night in May 2018, with of these performed 100% analogue and live!

For this release the duo have produced four extra-terrestrial synthesizer jams that head into slightly more experimental territory than the electro disco sound they are known for.

All tracks are recorded live with no editing using an incredibly limited set-up that the two can control using just 7 channels on their recording desk: 2 x drums, 3 x synths, 1 x reverb, 1 x delay.

The resultant sound is a vintage drum machine + retro-synth audio odyssey reminiscent of John Carpenter, Vangelis and other such pioneers of the '80s. Perhaps not entirely surprising, it reminds us most of their French compatriot: the singular Jean-Michel Jarre.

On the other hand the music is undeniably contemporary. Perhaps that's unavoidable when its two creators are both still in their early 20s? Similarities can be heard to Nico Motte, Etienne Jaumet and their peers over the Channel as well as Invisible Inc label mates Spacerocks and Tim Love Lee.

The EP opens with 'Espionage Industriel' which sounds like an imaginary theme tune for a 70s TV crime thriller gone wrong in which the detectives have been spiked with acid. 'Temps Modernes' is a look at the future from the past, a cult sci-fi film spinning out on the inside of the eyelids. The EP's titular 'Géant de Fer' sounds like a lost Patrick Cowley track created for one of the many gay porn soundtracks he recorded in the 80s. 'Retour de Chasse' winds things up very nicely; elements of Cluster, Harmonia, Tangerine Dream come to the surface.....the echoes of these ripple outward and dissipate. A perfect ending.

Visionary “Rap” EP by precocious 18-year-old duo Eric Davis (ELV) and Chuck Prater (Chuk Chu) from 1989. Imagine if Schoolly D had joined Native Tongues and made an early hip-house EP produced by Larry Heard.

The story of Me & E took shape in Avalon Park in South Chicago, a vibrant, diverse, and politically active community with a rich musical culture. This was the fertile playground for producer Eric Davis (ELV) and lyricist Chuck Prater (Chuk Chu). The park itself was adjacent to Eric’s backyard and they would hop the fence to listen to music, drink beers, and freestyle, even in the middle of the notoriously cold Chicago winters. Eric’s dad, Arlington Davis Jr., was a jazz drummer who played in the legendary spiritual jazz group The Awakening in the ‘70s. Jazz ran deep in their family with proud connections to Miles Davis. Arlington would host weekly jam sessions at his home, and Chuck & Eric were in regular attendance. On those evenings, Eric and his brothers were able to take turns on the sticks alongside the veteran players, honing their fledgling chops. These experiences gave them the confidence to take music seriously, and start a group.

Channeling his drumming skills through an array of synths and drum machines, Eric produced tracks in his bedroom, inspired by artists like The Art Of Noise, Kraftwerk, and New Order. Combining their atmospheric electronic elements with his jazz background, and beat-making skills, he created a distinct sound that still sounds fresh today. Chuck was listening to Hendrix, Joplin, Public Enemy, MC Lyte, and Big Daddy Kane and developed a unique and uplifting lyrical flow. They met up after school almost every day to make music, and quickly produced the four songs that make up their Rap EP.

The music duo never lost touch, and continued to produce throughout the 90’s, forming Rich Boys, another rap group with their crew from Avalon Park. In 1995, Chuk Chu released a solo album, Memoirs of a Blue Light Special, focussing on a more sample based production style. Eric inspired by the house scene in Chicago, produced some ethereal and otherworldly electronic music, which Mixed Signals is compiling for future release. The Rap EP is just an introduction to the ongoing story of Me & E.
