#93 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

Fred Ventura and Rafal Lachmirowicz, aka Also Playable Mono, have teamed up, All We Need being the pairings audio vision of italo disco. Steady kicks and cascading cowbells pave the way for an infectious synthline before a vocoder-enveloped Ventura smoulders with a burning intensity. Bold chords and pulsating rhythms are at the robotic heart of System Breakdown On Wikileaks. Bombastic and brilliant, this electrified disco dreadnaught swings with the power of a wrecking ball; a power that only amplifies the tracks impacting message of our very civilisations future. Scaling notes spiral ever higher in the addictive groove of In The Night, A.P.Monos computerised words adopting the mantle of his machines. Circling samples introduce The News. Rhythms are clean and tight, snapping at the tails of soaring synthwork with Venturas smoky social commentary, coupled with the silken and sonorous Chelsea Muller, offering something better for us all.
