From World Electric to Mass Transit, passing through Emoticon or Exalt and Stripe soon, Scape One would never have been able to defend electro with such vigor than this year. To celebrate this main musical movement 25 birthdays, UK artist meets once again Electrix label few months after his successful co-production called "Echoes from Beyond" on Tortured sub label. Appearing for the very first time in long format (height tracks), Kurt Baggaley suggests a worldwide travel into towns that influenced history and evolution of electro music. With remarkable ease and talent, Transparent Sound member successes incredible bet to restitute each metropolis sound, while keeping its own touch. In turn acid ("Exit Exile" Rome), minimal ("Radio Control" Rotterdam), funky ("Lust Legion" Miami), hip-hop ("Ghetto Smurf" Bronx), robotic ("Retropolitan" Düsseldorf), synthetic ("The Future" Detroit) or melodic ("Startide" L.A, "Evasion Shell" London), this essential double EP introduces an exhaustive and just panel of each city's particularity sound. More than a concept album, this dancefloor trip into the shape of a tribute will stay as a masterpiece on Kurt's already impressive discography. Brilliant from A to Z !
