That said Braintax is still a master and this is worth having just to finish the otherwise brilliant trilogy. But what once seemed refreshing is now dull and contrived (another Riviera track?!) and with nothing new to say this album really scrapes the barrel lyrically with Colin Emmanuel's synth laden production adding little to the recipe. Its a sub par rehash on all his previous themes of life, society and politics. The third and (apparently) final part of Braintax's trilogy of albums is quite frankly, a dissapointment. "put a mic in front of me, and I'm gonna bless it hummingbird style, seventy times in one second" How could they ever live up to this? A deep, dark brooding masterpiece rarely seen in modern urban music. Easily the best thing that Def Jux ever put out and the pinacle of Vast, Vordul and El-P's work to date. El-P's dark, noise laden, dense beats form the distorted backdrop for Vast Aire and Vordul's journey through the gritty, urban nightmare of modern New York. This record is the perfect combination of two incredible lyricists and a producer with a vision. Has to be one the best hip-hop albums ever released and possibly my personal favourite.

Movements was Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeiers second full-length as Booka Shade, and it landed on Get Physical (the label they helped start) at a time when the German duo was gaining widespread acclaim as both a studio pairing and as a charismatic live act. Elektrik World is compiled by the green masked Dr Lektroluv, since more than 15 years at the forefront of the electro movement from Belgium to Brazil!”Ģ. An expanded reissue of Booka Shades 2006 album Movements is due out in October. Boys Noize, Tiga, Miss Kittin,… You’ll find all the golden boys and girls of electro present on this ultimate collection. Lektroluv presents Elektrik World, a boxset cd compilation with each and every essential electro classic you need to own. And look how many Stuart Price remixes he’s managed to snag too. And now we come to Dr Lektroluv’s compilation which quite frankly is probably the most comprehensive electro and electro-clash compilation you could ever need, he’s even managed to source obscure gems like Williams’ ‘Poltergeist’. They released many albums,alongside some singles,but their most known Album is known as Movement,released in 2006. You could say they they made it what it is today.They are Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier. It’s all there - a love letter to the likes of Boys Noize, Vitalic and Gigglo’s own imperious back catalogue.Īnd the video is brilliantly provocative too. Booka Shade is a band founded in around the year 2004.The band is made out of only two guys that succeded to make house music and electronic music popular. So 2017 has certainly seen an electro uptick especially with the return of DJ Hell, back on his beloved Gigolo Records with a new record and with it a pretty damn good remix from one Marcell Dettmann, who doesn’t really figure in electro-clash’s narrative to my knowledge, but he was certainly around and probably playing techno to confused electro fans.Īnyway, his remix of ‘I Want You’ has almost every electro-clash element you could ever want - authoritarian vocals? Check. Now that we’re in 2017, electro and electro-clash are hard to come by - not impossible, Ed Banger’s forthcoming Ed Rec 100 proves there’s still plenty of mileage left in the world thrashy electro, as does Dr Lektroluv’s forthcoming electro compilation (see below for the mother of all electro-clash tracklists across a staggering 4 CDs of electro goodness from the Belgian electro don).
Still have RARs on CD or DVD Now its the time to read them back in Username: Password: Password Register. Justice had just begun, Daft Punk were actually touring, Tiga was producing bangers 24/7 and DJ Hell’s Gigolo Records was largely at the centre of this aggressive form of punk-inspired dance music.
