Electrology 12″

Larry McCormick’s Exzakt alias strides into its 20th year of operations with ever more urgency, as the recently reanimated Monotone label continues to mark out the important place he holds in the global electro scene. In terms of original productions, “Madrid Nights” opens the record up with a tight, whip-cracking peak time joint executed in the deadly Exzakt style. “Me & My 808” takes things in a darker, almost gothic direction, and “Love Hate” keeps the pressure up with a style that borders on breaks. Meanwhile 214 drops some serious heat on his remix of “Escape”, a crafty, many-sided die that wins whichever side you land on.
