RIVAL CONSOLES – KID VELO 
The New Album. Released Track by Track, Week after Week. 
11.4.-27.6. 2011


￼
ABOUT THIS ALBUM VIRAL CAMPAIGN:
 
London-based purveyor of intelligent dance music Ryan L. West aka RIVAL CONSOLES returns with his sophomore album KID VELO, released track by track over the course of 11 weeks. Every Monday will see a new album track being streamed exclusively from just one online portal connected to one exclusive online store, before going global on Fridays. 
 
‘With brains supposedly adapting to online networks and attention spans reduced to 140 characters at a time, this is bite-sized music for a bite-sized world.’ 
– Robert Raths, founder of Erased Tapes Records

'I like them all actually, they are all different. Stand out tunes are S.P.K.R.S. and I Left The Party .. and I love the Insides remix he did for Jon Hopkins' 
– Rob Booth, Electronic Explorations 
 
The campaign kicked off on April 11 and will cumulate in the official album release on June 27, 2011.

The album launch will be celebrated with a London show on June 23 at The Nest in Dalston w/Frog Pocket + Deadfader

WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR:

TRACK 1: KID VELO – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via Drowned In Sound on April 11:
http://drownedinsound.com/news/4142427-listen--rival-consoles-kid-velo 

'There are a few labels which you can just trust. Erased Tapes is possibly one of them. One of their lot in Rival Consoles is doing something relatively novel and streaming a new track from his forthcoming record Kid Velo in various places across the internet over the next 11 weeks. We've got the VERY FIRST track and it's actually really, really good' – Drowned In Sound

TRACK 2: INTO THE HEART I – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via The Line Of Best Fit on April 18:
http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/2011/04/premiere-rival-consoles-into-the-heart-song-of-the-day-237

'Rival Consoles is the geekiest band name of all time. It is lucky, then, that the music is so consistently entertaining. His second album, Kid Velo, is being released one track at a time over the course of 11 weeks, courtesy of TLOBF favourites Erased Tapes. We are very happy to have ‘Into The Heart’, the second track from that record, as today’s exclusive Song Of The Day' – The Line Of Best Fit

Exuberant electro burner' – Boomkat


TRACK 3: S.P.K.R.S – EXCLUSIVE STREAM via The 405 on April 26: 
http://thefourohfive.com/articles/6152

￼Third on, S.P.K.R.S. evokes images of an antagonist’s evil, corrupt police force. Lurking deep in the futuristic suburbs, S.P.K.R.S. try to dispatch Kid Velo. Surrounded by studio equipment and possibly spending more time with speakers than people, Ryan L. West explains:

‘The synths on this track are heavy, distorted and cold. The opening sample from Dr. Strangelove is there to juxtapose the cold distortion and make it feel even more dehumanised.’ 

As the song progresses, evil forces continue to destroy anything in their path until finally a gothic chorus erupts, which could symbolise Kid Velo being cornered by hundreds of S.P.K.R.S. At the moment of no hope, the music decays and Kid Velo smashes through his enemies and escapes... [to be continued]

'It's bloody HUGE. Can you imagine hearing this at full blast? It's so intense it would probably blow your eyebrows off' – The 405

OUR TRUSTY COMPOSER FROM GERMANY RETURNS AGAIN. A TRACK WITCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED LOOONG TIME AGO ON RNO. ELECTRONIC TONES MIXED WITH A TRANCY-DEMOSCENE'ISH MOOD MAKES THIS TRACK CATCHY, MELODIC AND GOT THE DRIVE YOU NEED TO NOD YOUR HEAD TO THE RYTHM.

A remix I did for the WutEva label that never got used.

Ebb - Lowlife (Hoffman Remix)

A remix I did for the Geschwister boys, never got released.
