UPC: 844216020601 Release: 12.11.2012 VINYL PRE RELEASE A1 Girl Talk A2 Definition Of B1 Gutter Pimp B2 666 Welcome to 'Life', the first single from Kris Wadsworth's debut album, 'Life and Death'. While we don't want to spoil the album for you, we will say this: get your hands on this album as soon as you can. It's hot shit. Techno at its grittiest, vulgar in your face and best played loud. That's how we open an EP Single, with 'Girl Talk'; you've got all of this plus a deep vibe that will get your hips swinging faster than a hula-hoop. 'Definition Of' opens with an even nastier tone - very dirty and very warm. The level of production here is well beyond your average producer; Kris really drives his sound home in this track. The synths and underlying percussion feel funky at first, then blend together and create such a sweaty atmosphere. Opening the B-side, 'Gutter Pimp' takes things even deeper, and opens a can of bass, topped off with skanky vocal lines and a great example of how to use delay/loop effects. The track manages to keep a cool groove, while still working you up enough to shake your body. '666', the sign of the Devil and one of the best tracks of the album, a hidden gem, if you will. Most will probably over look this one, but its down tempo energy is awe inspiring, throwing out sounds of Satan himself. We highly recommend that you take a very close listen to this one.

Kris Wadsworth is an integral part of Detroit's new wave, and with It's Time he wears his city's heart on his sleeve, delving into the electronic music legacy of his home town and showcasing the range of his own talent. The epic 10-minute title track "It's Time" is secret journey through the city's pulsing underground. It begins with a primal techno kick that rings out from afar, distorted by distance and brimming with a sense of anticipation. A gravelly male voice demands to know what time it is, declaring that "it's time for that dirty shit, that dope shit, that Detroit shit", and the beat then kicks in, gritty and purposeful. The track then does a surprising about-face, abandoning the fist-pumping techno for just high hats and vocals, and transforming into a new phase that nods to Detroit's other great legacy: electro. Grimy electro breaks and wiry melodies are spun before evolving again into deep house, with a see-saw duet of pads, and double-time hand claps. Kris' own "Move Dat Ass Remix" of his track "Det Sound" takes the dubby 2010 original, and reworks it as a ferocious bass and drums workout with dizzy vocal arrangements and blasting sirens. Digital Exclusive Track "Connection" again nods to the origins of electro, but weaves the broken beat, crooning vocal sample and playful synth melody into deep and modern melodic funk.
