Christian Smith / Wehbba / Ian O'Donovan – More Than Machine 05 (Part I)

Tronic return with part 5 of the More Than Machine series - a V/A slab of hot wax to satisfy the machine music lovers.

Hot off the back of his recent ‘L’amour Toujours’ record, Christian Smith is back with a another offering - this time on a more electro tip. And what ride this is. ‘Living in a Vacuum’, with Wehbba, places you in a cyborg Detroit universe, in touching distance of the Blade Runner adjacent universe. Excellent quality electronic music.

Ian O’Donocan’s ‘Europa’ continues the Robocop vibe on a more laid-back feel, yet with enough grit and crunch to keep the dystopian sound-universe alive.
Alexander Kowalski ups the tempo and energy in ‘Amongst Us’, a metallic romp through upfront and agitated electro. And PJay closes with ‘Future Composer’, a wigged-out, broken-circuit-board-funk number worthy of true B2 status on the record. Electro essentialism.
