#86 Feat. Staff Picks in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Co-Accused return for their second release of 2024 with a hand picked V/A sharing sounds from some of the labels favourite electro and techno producers. Underground legends and fearsome up-and-comers come on board to the Glasgow based label with Lukes Anger, SOD-90, Steve Allman, Mal_Hombre and Parand delivering tracks. CR006 VA is selected for the dancefloor, tried and tested in Co-Accused's own DJ sets. Lukes Anger launches the EP with some up for it wonky business in Choplifter. From one of the masters of the wonky techno sound Lukes Anger continues in full form with his tight yet askew playful beats. SOD-90 comes in next with Saving Up For Botox with his fearless punk take on the electro sound - his own brand of high intensity atmospherics mixed with distorted synth lines, vocals and kicking breaks. Cultivated Electronics Steve Allman leads the B Side with This is Not A Dream calling on driving hoover bass and haunting synths in classic UK electro style. For the B2 Mal_Hombre takes the EP down a deeper and more spatial path with Triangulation with delicately detailed and propulsive techno, a long time friend of the label whose debut album Andromeda Outpost released on Jeff Mills iconic Axis Records. Topping the whole thing off Berlin based producer and Avoidant alumni Parand delivers the final hit with Bloc - a powerful, pitch black, driving heads down moment.
