Various Artists, MINDHELMET 19 EP

$35.00

London's Mindhelmet don the headplate of forward-ho electronica releases, and number 19 is another reaffirmation of said fact, with its downwards cheesebreaks operating in an ever so distinct subgenre that our associatively let-to-roam brains can only call "progtek". An overall cheeky mood keeps a prankish consistency across these six retro retoxes, as Admnti (2005), Finny B (Who's Ready), Max Stedeford (3Style), Tate (Bass Invader), James Andrew (Atomic Discombobulator) and Wickham (The Docks') all combine on a thorough but subtle threshing in retrofired style, with various gated vocal trances, filter swirls and 00s speed garage interpretations aplenty.
