DROMILLY VALE EP by EKOPLEKZ

Five brand new emissions from Bristol's premier electronicist Nick Edwards, alias Ekolplekx. 300 copies only, no repress... Check!Opening with a glorious ode to the founder and oldest surviving member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, "Dick Mills Blues" we are deep inside a mournful place, lathered in digital vapour trails and infectious circuit-gunk. Soon drops a nod to King Tubby down Dromilly Avenue, sliding the biggest drums this side of Dub-Kingston, slowly dissolving in pure liquid drift. Rocketing onto the flip we are plunged into a headlong fizz of modular scorch with "Neutronik" and into the fractal Chris & Cosey cabaret of "Jugglin' For Jesus", before our heads are gently assaulted in wave after wave of gaseous Radiophonic noise with "Clayton Freak". Somewhere holed up inside these single-take, unique abstractions is the sound of Pop-Electronic, it beats roughly, strangely against the vinyl groove-wall, in sweet disharmony just waiting to be discovered by your stylus.
