Daniel Avery's debut release for Phantasy has already won support from Tiga, Andrew Weatherall, Damian Lazarus, Cassius, Busy P, Dj Heidi, Dixon and more.
What's most immediately apparent about the Need Electric EP is just how strange the four tracks are. The title track seemingly references both Avery's misty eyed electro clash memories and Paul Woolford in his mid noughties era, as an \"Erotic Discourse\" flavoured stripped down groove twists itself ever tighter around the detuned analogue core, while icily framed female tones filter out. Alongside this, \"Taste\" makes for an even weirder bedfellow, its seven plus minutes of sparse rhythms, percolating bass lines and unsettling vocal embellishments quite aptly described by Alkan himself as the \"feeling of nature gone wrong\". Thus far this year it remains one of the strangest tracks conceived with the dance floor in mind, but perhaps that's its inherent beauty' Juno Plus
