BIRDS OF PREY by ARCHITEQ -

A bit of a dark venture into electronic beats and dubstep for us, but it seemed only right that Fife/Dundee-based Architeq - aka 23 yr-old Sam Annand - had some playtime on Leith Records this week.

Recording for Tirk Records, the recent Gold + Green has been making the right twidly noises in the right places, with props from Laurent Garnier and Groove Armada. As the label blurb puts it, the ”album lands at a point in the end of a decade when disco, dub, R’n’B and electronics are engaged in a full blown future-f*ck, inviting any style interesting enough to join in for a rhythmic climax, attempting to produce shiny disco babies for a next generation.” Couldn’t have put it better.

There’s even a MaryAnne Hobbes experimental breezeblock mix kicking about for download, or get the album (or tracks) over on iTunes.
