Repress! Some records just keep on selling out no matter how many times they appear. This is one of them. It is getting another run this year because second-hand copies are now worth well over 150 quid, and it still sounds as good as ever. Carl Finlow is an electro wizard who never fails to cook up captivating sonic spells and that's what he does here across two cuts - the frosty and turbulent 'Conduit' and the more lithe and silky 'Hashtag'. Volsoc's Orange Problem remix and a rework from the one and only Radioactive Man close out this brilliant 12".

In 2000 Billy Nasty launched Electrix Records as an Electro sub-division of his already successful Techno label, Tortured. Since its first of many releases by Zeta Reticula (the - at that time - brand new Electro pseudonym of Umek), Electrix has gone on to deliver quality releases from the likes of Carl Finlow / Silicon Scally, The Advent, RadioNasty (Billy's collaboration with the mighty Radioactive Man), Transparent Sound, dynArec, Mr Velcro Fastener (a.k.a. Mesak) and many more. Launching its 20th anniversary year is none other than London Modular with the 'We Are The Mod!' EP featuring 3 new original cuts plus a remix by Assembler Code.We are the mods, we are the mods, we are, we are, we are the mods!

Tatu Metsätähti and Tatu Peltonen formed their electro duo Mr Velcro Fastener in the small town of Turku, Finland back in 1995. In 1999, after a couple of twelve inches, they released their first full length album ‘Lucky Bastards Living Up North’ on i220, which was well noted (not only for its hyper colourful cover art by the Designers Republic). The album took the duo touring in Europe and overseas, and led to further releases on labels like Stars-Music, Ali B’s Air Recordings, Solina Records, Cyber Dance and of course Billy Nasty’s Electrix, as well as remixes for the likes of Hardfloor, Marco Carola, DK8, Transparent Sound and Aux88. Returning to Electrix with their third full EP for the label (and a gap of 13 years!) they have delivered their own unique and recognizable electro sound with two new cuts. ‘A Monster in Two Worlds’ with its electro-funk sound, classic vocoded vocals and grinding groove is a perfect opener, while ‘Bakteriofag’ (bacteriophage in English) like its name, creeps up like a virus, infecting the senses with its crisp and shining melody. Additionally, there’s remixes of ‘A Monster In Two Worlds’ from Silicon Scally (Carl Finlow in his electro guise) and M-Twelve (the new moniker recently launched by Billy Nasty and Surface’s Nick Dunton) to complete the line-up.
