Carl Finlow - Boot Loop EP - Electrix 002

2nd release on Billy Nasty's newly re-launched Electrix outfit. The ‘Boot Loop EP’ shows Carl Finlow at his electro finest. The original versions of ‘Conduit’ and ‘Hashtag’ are phat and funky, with all his electronic wizardry on full display. Remixes are done by Volsoc and Radioactive Man.

Carl Finlow, aka electro main-man Silicon Scally, originally released the Boot Loop EP on Billy Nasty's Electrix label back in 2013 - an aeon ago in real terms but a blink of an eye to any electro devotee. Such is the quality of the music, not least given the fearsome appetite for this kind of electro now compared to seven years ago. "Conduit" and "Hashtag" are quintessential Finlow cuts, wriggling and writhing with snappy sound design riveted to the machine funk rhythm section. On the flip, Volsoc's "Orange Problem" mix of "Conduit" slips a few more melodic elements into the mix, and Radioactive Man flips "Hashtag" into a gnarly, noisy workout bowling in from leftfield.
