Let’s get brutal!
Electro this, electro that. The latest Ministry of Sound CD even proclaims it’s electro. Seriously guys, you should realise why the label is oft termed the “Ministry of the unprofound”. The ‘faux’ electro sound is driving the bandwagon and all the General Pants kids are getting on! Anyhow, here’s a 63 minute excursion into the real sound of electro with a few other relevant flavours thrown in - in fact it’s my mix of the week.

Just on the Ectomorph re-edits, apparently BMG’s doing some edits of old acid tracks and the like and putting them out on a new label, Fix Records. These are pretty hot, well worth checking out.
