Red Box EP - Incl. Random Factor Remix

Tel Aviv duo Red Axes aka Dori Sadovnik and Niv Arzi, and the well-regarded 20/20 Vision hosted a special event in Ibiza early in the summer and now follow that up with a debut EP on the label. It is a typically singular sound that fuses the love of guitars and hardware with some intergalactic house depths. 'Redbox' is a smooth glide through lithe basslines and suspensory pads, while 'Eko' is a more loose, jumbled rhythm with plenty of space for the murmured vocals and synth textures to make their mark. 20/20 Vision co-founder Random Factor remixes the opener into inquisitive electro and 'FTS' rides chopped up breaks for a big finish.

First released back in 1998, Random Factor's Too Fast Into The Future returns to wax and serves as a reminder of just how far UK mainstay Carl Finlow was already thinking ahead. The album was also a standout moment in the Leeds-based 20/20 Vision label catalogue that threads house, techno and electro into something more unsettled and brilliant. 'Lead Me Blind' and the title track fold processed vocals into stark machine rhythms, while 'First Principles' and 'When Daylight Fades' remain DJ touchstones. There is tension in every bar and introspection rubbing against dancefloor drive. Decades on, it still bangs.

Random Factor

Convergence - Incl. John Tejada & Craig Richards Remixes

Electro don Carl Finlow dropped 'Convergence' under his Random Factor alias back in 2005. It was a definitive showcase of the talent that continues to stand him out two decades on and is completely devoid of samples. Every note is carefully crafted as part of an emotional electro-pop classic that track gained legendary status thanks to Craig Richards, who has made it a regular in his sets at Fabric and Houghton Festival. John Tejada injects glitchy textures and stuttered vocals into his rework, and this reissue includes a subtly remastered version with improved fidelity and brand-new artwork by Finlow himself.

20/20 Soundsystem

Falling - Incl. Random Factor + Fernando Remixes

After more than ten years away, 20/20 Soundsystem makes a welcome comeback with some brand new versions of their most standout track, 'Falling'. The group was known for their live mix of electro, deep house, dub and indie and took it to plenty of big stages including Glasto. The new remixes of 'Falling' bring a modern touch and fresh dancefloor-ready energy while never forgoing the spirit of the original. Random Factor's offering is a gritty and dubby electro version and Fernando offers a cosmic chugger with plenty of sci-fi sounds and wispy acid details.

STAFF COMMENTS
