Dear old Matthew Dear walks away from his signature glossy techno sound to deliver something funky, warm and strangely poppy. Like Prince in a psychedelic mood only kinda Kraftwerky. Lots of gr8, unusual sounds in this mid-tempo diversion. A sexy, intellectual little brain mint. I can feel it.

For the past 10 years, Kraddy has cast an ever-growing shadow on the West Coast electronic scene. Former member of The Glitch Mob (and some would argue the reason we all have bought tickets to Glitch Mob shows), Kraddy’s sonic resumé has blown-up since his departure from The Mob. “Freakshow” is an appropriately titled tune. Kraddy is not only exploring sounds that breed away from the dance floor, he is also dredging the bottom of his imagination, coming up with an aggressive-metallic sound.

As digital recording and performance technology evolves so does dance music along with it’s dizzying array of micro-genres. But in the swarm of all this technological bliss a track with come out that reminds us just how disadvantaged dance music was in it’s humble beginnings (3 second sample max). “Step Into [Spy Step Rmx)” has just enough old-school-nostalgia juxtaposed against thick synth chords and gut sinking bass placing the groove on both sides of the technological line.

Truly arty redonkulous brain food from UK’s Plank! What is to be expected from a track entitled “Arse Nick?” Much, my children, much. We are presented with a Frankensteinian acoustic drum-fueled march of doom down fiery hillsides of square wave synths, as rampaging aliens do back-flips with burning electric guitars. A bold and original piece of music, this “Arse Nick” is good medicine.
