Part of the Swedish electro/tech unit that includes colleagues Zoo Brazil, John Dahlbäck and Tiger Stripes, Style Of Eye is frequently one of our favourite producers. In the last year he's dropped huge buckets of filth like The Big Kazoo and his stunning remix of Dohr & Mangold's Sunrise 5:30AM, and this debut LP is a consistent follow-up.
“The album was almost a year in the making" says Linus Eklow, aka SOE, "and felt like the perfect time to try and put things in a bigger perspective rather than concentrate on two tracks. So I wanted to make a dancefloor album but one that could also be heard as one CD, that could travel through different styles, but you could still connect the dots between the first and last tracks“. "
He's done a fine job there - from the catchy pop-influenced Girls to the manic Claude VonStroke-style squelches of Clowns, there's enough variety and quality to keep you hooked throughout.
It's out October 6th on John Dahlbäck's label Pickadoll.
