Maybe less known than it's German neighbour, English electro has however a strong reputation thanks to such international artists as Keith Tenniswood, Bass Junkie and Cisco Ferreira to name a few. Created last year in London, Electrix Records confirms its growing status following musical works from older Breakin', Rephlex or Penalty Records. After brilliant releases from Zeta Reticula aka Umek (Etrx 01 & 02) or from The Advent (Etrx 03), here comes Bryan Zentz's excellent five cuts EP on this Tortured sub-label. Mostly influenced by Detroit, Bryan offers dark pieces (the "Flutter" intro, "Dollhause") and dancefloor tracks ("Sleeptaking", "Strike Then down", "Sun Downer"), in a Drexcya style. Electro to be listened and played without hesitation.
