Looking forward to this one!

Here's the review guys!

Scape One - Planetoid - Brokntoys BT02
Following Pip Williams' 12" titled "Mode#7" in October, Kurt Baggaley under his fame Scape One pseudo signs the second reference of the brand new and mysterious label Brokntoys. "Planetoid" offers an experience through the depth of the galaxy. The man with fifty releases since 2001 on labels such like Cultivated Electronics, AC Records, SCSI-AV or Drivecom, just to name but a few, keeps on entertaining us thanks to fresh ideas and audacious musical experiments: this is particularly obvious on this EP.

It all starts with the title track, a 7' min ethereal affair leading the listener across an ocean of futuristic funk. Deep and dark at the same, this electro beauty delivers some nice melodies by the middle of the track over discrete yet percussive rhythm, attractive Sci-Fi tones and movie lyrics. The feverish minor 90's synth appears right away as Kurt's unmistakable trademark. You'll feel like traveling through a synthetic Milky Way. Perfect to play at 4am to relax the bodies on the dance floor after an evil set!

"Europa's Secret" gem coming next serves up an instantly irresistible mayhem based upon tridimensional layers, nice programming, endless hooks mixed with melancholic pads and cosmic melodies. Great atmosphere, vibes and feelings emanate from this profound tune. The journey through space continues on the flip-side with minimalistic "Distinct Century", a careful kick drum driven piece characterized by classic funk strings over metallic drums and rich 808s that highlights the EP.

The 12" closes up in the best way possible with final cut "Right Ascension", a teardrop tune made of discreet rolling pads and delicate yet sublime synth flights, with some analogue tones in the background. Limited to 200 copies, "Planetoid" comes out with screenprinted artwork, handstamped labels, and will not leave your flight case for a while.
