LEGENDARY UK ELECTRO PIONEER BASS JUNKIE UNLEASHES NEW MENTAL NOTE EP Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately) EP Arrives Via No Static Automatic No Static Automatic is proud to announce the new EP from UK Electro legend Phil Klein under his Mental Note alias. Titled Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately), this release marks the dynamic follow-up to the acclaimed 2020 debut Voices In My Head (Noises In My Pants). Few authentic Electro producers from the UK can wear the badge legend with the same level of justification as Phil Klein, aka Bass Junkie. Active since the late 80s, Klein has tirelessly shaped his distinct vision of Electro, both as a solo artist and through storied collaborations with icons like Dynamix II, Keith Tenniswood (Radioactiveman), and Si Brown (Dexorcist). As a DJ, remixer, live act, and the driving force behind the seminal Battle Trax label, his influence is woven into the fabric of the genre. With essential releases on labels including DMX Krews Breakin Records, Andrea Parkers Touchin Bass, and Billy Nastys Elektrix, the Bass Junkie sound seamlessly bridges the old-school beats of Electros origins with a potent, borderline-industrial edge. As noted by Andy Barton of Bass Agenda: From funky to ferocious, Bass Junkies discography is a must-have for anyone claiming passion for the genre influential, individual, and infectious with every beat. Now, as Mental Note, Klein continues his exploration of electronic psychedelia. The new EP, Batteries Not Included (Brain Sold Separately), is a four-track expedition through the Electro cosmos: Brainwash immerses the listener in swirling, hypnotic synths. They're Not Blue, Theyre Purple delivers a masterclass in crunchy, textured drums. Primordial Soup showcases frantic, intricate programming. Kluster Funk offers a moment of deep, sonic relief and groove. Each track reinforces Mental Notes signature: a journey that is cerebral, raw, and irresistibly rhythmic.
