2005's Ok Cowboy by Vitalic marked a turning point in my life, it was just one of those albums that was so ground breaking and fresh that I could not put it down. Since then Justice, Busy P's minions (aka the ed banger crew), and everyone at kitsune has been pretty busy have been dropping some pretty awesome tracks, and electro has never been more popular.
Its easy to get lost in all the distortion and compressed low end and dismiss any new artist or trakcs as more of the same. I can't help but say that Yuskek debut album Away From the Sea is just more of the same. Nothng groundbreaking, but they will probably serve as a hot platforms for remixes. Don't get me wrong there are some hot tracks. Break Ya, I Like to Play, So down with Chromeo which feature chromeo's signature lyrical macking, and Eat My bear which reminds me of Vitalic's My Friend Dario, are all solid. The album as a whole is growing on me and I'd recommend it to anybody who likes funky bass lines and distorted synths. Meantime check out the tracks I mentioned above after the jump:
