2006/7 Ramblings & Photocall - Silverclouds

So another year ends... the days seem darker than ever, the year has passed and nothing seems to have changed for the better since the last year..... but there are always a good few electro records out there for you to find for 2007!

2006 has been a tricky one for electro.. it seems as if there's an ever growing divide between the vinyl junkies and the mp3 heads and it feels like there is a natural conflict between the electrophile's push for technology against the desire for the old skool stuff... Am I mad in thinking that we're all losing something if we download from the internet something we could have bought on 12" from a decent independent record shop?

Irrelevant thoughts aside, and onto 2007, our friends at the masters of Clone Records who have cemented themselves as being one of the best labels and distributors around for robot music have been packing out the records on their own label and on their sister labels.

One record soon to be released is the amazing Photocall's (Los Angeles Duo of Eli Epstein and Terynn Westbrook) release of Silverclouds. This is an insanely robotic old skool sound which has been seriously lacking of late with electro releases... this is pure robotic madness! Listen to Silverclouds here. The Dexter remix is as good as the original and has the firm 'dirty Dutch' Dexter phat stamp to the sound - echt vet! Listen to that mix here.

Seriously high quality electro that makes me think that 2007 is going to be a very promising year! Out on Clone in the very near future...

Available at Clone directly (on release) and Juno will have some copies waiting for owners no doubt of that!
