For the 61st outing, Klasse Wrecks heads north once again to Sheffield to the People's Republic of Soyo. The South Yorkshire city has churned out some benchmarks in electronic music over the years and the tradition seems to be continuing, judging by the new 'Altec 1138' EP by producers DJ Steve and Kwake. While the purple bleep lineage can be traced in the 4 tracker, it is not ever classic or pastiche. The spacious dancefloor stompers hit more of an old UK Techno vibe and sometimes even venture towards John Carpenter soundtracks in mood and atmosphere. It's classic Wrecks in that it's not classic at all, unconventional genre placement advised.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Klasse Wrecks can always be relied upon for keeping the lighting engineer glued to the smoke and strobe switch. Kwake And DJ Steve join forces for an exercise in bleep-techno / acid house hybrids which'll rattle the warehouse down to its solid steel fabrications.TRACK LISTING
