Elektro2

An exquisite selection of top-notch contemporary electronic music across (almost) all sub-genres from someone who is not quite right in the head ;) Warning: This playlist contains very heavy tunes and I strongly advise you shouldn't listen to all there is from start to end. But if you still do by ignoring my warnings I can offer you free brain surgery in my world-renown mental ehmm medical clinic. Final note: If you are using hearing aids like my friend Richard aka JAHv's you can remove them, you won't need them here :)

Soma Records’ electro sub-label, Avoidant Records assemble a fresh rogue squadron for another massive compilation as 16 electro warriors take on the ‘Dark Planet’.

After the impact of last year's huge ‘Defend Your Planet’ VA, Avoidant immediately set about recruiting another incredible group of artists that represent the Glasgow based label’s output. ‘Dark Planet’ brings together established, classic and up and coming producers who take their cues from the Detroit and European schools of electro. Gathered from across the planet - from Australia, The Netherlands, the USA and UK - the compilation sound is geared up for the dancefloor.

With a sound akin to the scraping of bone on bone, a pair of armored figures were expelled violently through the half-open maw of the portal. As their forms were tossed unceremoniously upon the rocky ground, each quickly scrambled to their feet, drawing their weapons before lunging at each other’s throats in a ritual of torment. Though they had stood before the gates of hell as friends the energies of that most horrific dimension had twisted their perceptions, which now saw them pitted against each other as rivals in greed. Each coveted the glories of the other, forgetting their own and those that they had shared on the field of battle.

As masters in diametrically opposed schools of combat, the pair struck at each other with a mixture of brutality and precision that quickly saw them open gaping wounds in the bodies of their former comrades as their blood intermingled upon the stones below. From within the portal, the hungry eyes of hell watched with glee, knowing that the two champions would soon join their chosen horde as soldiers of their malevolent glories.

MNDSCP and REDPILL lead the EATBRAIN horde to new states of sonic consciousness as they deliver a pair of remixes that recontextualize and reanimate a chosen work from each other’s catalogs. The end result is a mind-bending display of intra-label collaboration that sees the veteran EATBRAIN alumni imbue each track with a revenant potential to devastate the dancefloor once more.

Release Info :

Si Begg - Energie Electrique 

It was perhaps only a matter of time before Si Begg rocked up on Central Processing Unit. Now an esteemed veteran of British beat tracks, Begg’s name has become synonymous with quality club productions ever since he burst onto the scene three decades ago. In the years since, Begg has released scores of records on some of the most prestigious labels in the business - Tresor, NovaMute, his own Mosquito. As such, his debut on the Sheffield imprint whose name has become a sign of quality since it launched in 2012 seems like a wholly logical progression for one of electro’s most consistently excellent producers. 

Begg’s casual mastery of his sound is shown off by the fact that he doesn’t over-egg the pudding of the Energie Electrique EP. Rather than doing sonic cartwheels to get people’s attention, Energie Electrique is characterised by the way Begg adds or subtracts elements to sturdy grooves. It’s an approach which makes for a collection of tunes that manage to bring the boogie from the off while they also hide all sorts of aural Easter eggs amidst the mix. 

On opening cut ‘Energy’, a droning start full of crisp drum programming soon develops into a head spinning electro groove reminiscent of Kraftwerk’s Computer World. An acid-laced bassline waxes and wanes, modulating in intensity across several minutes as Begg sprinkles in percussion, synth blurts and vocoder vocals. It’s a slyly insistent rump-shaker, and the - ahem - energy that the track provides carries through into following number ‘Buckfunk Beatz’. This joint begins with a gnarly, chattering synth sound before the sizzle and snap of a broken-beat kick-hat loop locks into place. While still very Kraftwerkian, ‘Buckfunk Beatz’ also has the playful grizzle of contemporary practitioners like Cardopusher and Begg’s fellow CPU operator Silicon Scally. 

Things switch up at the start of Energie Electrique’s second side. Rather than rolling out a high-octane groove, Begg delivers a low-slung mid-tempo roller called ‘MS10 Machine Funk’. The programming on the kick drum here could almost pass for a dirty south hip-hop production if Begg didn’t lace it with such a strangely compelling use of the oscillator - sometimes squealing, sometimes squawking, sometimes wobbling, always thrilling. The mix flecked with chordal stabs, ‘MS10 Machine Funk’ is a masterclass in combining danceable beats with the quest for thrilling sounds that is so often the mark of a truly musical mind. 

To round things out, Begg brings us back to the beginning. ‘Electro P1 B’ is a delightfully dystopian bit of Drexciyanism. Piston-hiss drum programming, nervy atonal synth nodules, some cavernous reverb deployment - this is a body-mover if ever you heard one, and one executed with all the style, aplomb and panache you’d expect of Begg. Si Begg takes his Central Processing Unit bow with the Energie Electrique EP, a quartet of club tracks to rival anything in his vast and vaunted discography.
