ALBUM OF THE MONTH:
Flevans
27 Devils Tru Thoughts
RELEASED 18TH MAY
Tru Thoughts deliver once again a melting
pot of styles and sounds, glorious songs
and dancefloor bombs. Flevans’ third
album sees him going totally samplefree and taking the plunge into full live
instrumentation, with stunning results.
‘27 Devils’ is laden with irresistible
hooks and dotted with charismatic vocal
performances from guest stars Sarah Scott
and Shona Foster, and Flevans himself.
It's track 7 - ‘Endless Things’ that has been
making me hit the repeat button on my
stereo. Peaking the album in all the right
ways, with a classic bassline built up with
traditional percussion patterns that have
been re-made for the future. The chorus
kicks in and builds up into a full driven,
4/4 live funk track. A dancefloor smasher
at any party, in any club, anywhere, at
anytime, or just something to swing your
hoover round to at home. Feel good at its
very, very best.
As a multi-skilled musician who plays
guitar, bass and piano among other
instruments, Flevans had always
incorporated some of his playing skills
into his music, but until recently did not
fully explore his potential, relying on that
trusty cut and paste basis for his previous
records. Composing and playing every
note on ‘27 Devils’ himself, he ventured
further into uncharted territory by
singing on a few tracks as well, this is
an album that simply demands to be
heard. ‘27 Devils’ is an addictive listen
from a major talent; full of surprises and
bursting at the seams with catchy hits in
the making.
His
remixography
includes
LCD
Soundsystem,
Moby,
Underworld,
Air, Metronomy and Robbie Williams.
Welcome to the world of Kris Menace,
a man who is fast becoming known as
one of the most respected producers
and remixers on the planet.
CD1 opens up with the iconic ‘Discopolis’
(with Lifelike) and features brand new
tracks including ‘Idiosyncrasy’ and next
single ‘Metropolis’ that clearly show
Menace’s ability to produce sharp,
modern records that are flavoured with
retro synth riffs and drum patterns.
CD2 eases in with the chilled ‘Sensuality’
and follows with more atmospheric slices
of electronica including ‘Micropacer’
and ‘Borderline’ that both share a
blissful, warm ambience. ‘Affinity’ and
‘Lightning’ pick up the tempo for some
more retro tech vibes.
CD3 showcases why Kris Menace is one
of the most in-demand remixers today,
including re-rubs for DFA kings LCD
Soundsystem, Everything but the Girl’s
famed Tracey Thorn, and Robbie Williams.
We have 4 copies of this hugely
anticipated album to giveaway, just

Stonephace Tru Thoughts
RELEASE DATE: 20.04.09
Imagine if you started with one of the
UK’s most celebrated and bankable
jazz saxophonists and frontline musical
innovators, and he wrote all the music,
which he then fed to a hungry young
producer, who happened to be the
Cornish rave scene’s most wanted from way back when raves were raves –
(surely the saxophonist’s sonic nemesis,
on paper at least); and then, once he
got the sound all nice and fi lthy, like
nothing you’d heard before – especially
not from a consummate jazz veteran the guitarist from one of the UK’s most
famous and acclaimed bands came
along and added his own Midas touch.
If you did all that, crossed your fi ngers
and hoped for a huge bestowal of
“je ne sais quoi”, you would be on
your way to creating your very own
Stonephace, whose self titled debut
features some of the best live musicians
around, including main man, veteran
jazz dissident Larry Stabbins on sax,
Portishead guitarist Adrian Utley and
bassist Jim Barr, with a guest turn from
Dizzy Gillespie collaborator Guy Barker
on trumpet.
A must have experimental album that
touches on genius rave and jazz.

Ruffige Kru
Shanghai Dub /
Ever Wanted Metalheadz
RELEASE DATE: MAY 09
Goldie and Heist smash up the dance
with this single; both completely unique
as Ruffige Kru always try to push the
boundaries. Classic DnB breaks roll out
in ‘Ever Wanted’, but Goldie’s vocals
twist throughout the track fi lling you
with Metalheadz fever. The low end is
fi lled by an 808 and the melody adds
intelligence to the tune, all brought
together by a low warping pad and
bongos. It takes a few listens, but it’s
a big, big grower that brings flavour to
the darkside.
‘Shanghai Dub’ is something else,
crossing the boundaries between
Dubstep and Drum n Bass; this is a
pivotal track for 2009. Futuristic effects
and pads fi ll the air, and the crack of
the snare whips you up. It's the heavy
stomping dubstep-esque beat that pulls
the track into its own, pushing any
atmosphere out of the way and getting
straight up into your face. The Paris
drum break is twisted to a new pattern
not yet heard and makes the track
unstoppable on a good system

We have 2 copies of this amazing album
to give away, all you have to do to be in
with a chance of winning is text your
answer to this question:
fi rst CD opens up with Nomad's classic
‘Devotion’, and also carries tracks like
Marradonna ‘Out of My Head’.
Two legends come together in Slipmatt
and Billy “Daniel” Bunter and remix
some blinders from dance history
including GTO's ‘Pure’, and a massive
remix of ‘Infi nity’ by Guru Josh Project,
with classics such as Shades of Rhythm
‘Extacy’ and some Justice thrown in.
Junglists won’t be disappointed with
CD 3 including bass bin wobblers
‘Renegade Snares’ by Omni Trio and
king of Jungle - DJ Hype’s remix of
‘Ganja Man’ by Krome & Time.
‘One Woman Army’ featuring Laura
Vane was one of the biggest vocal
tunes on Hint’s stunning 2008 album,
‘Driven From Distraction’, and the Hint
Club Remix gives the fiery soul song
(already a dancefloor favourite), an
up-to-the-minute UK funky/bassline
makeover, with a specially re-recorded
vocal care of Ms. Vane. Mr Beatnick’s
Slow Jack Remix is a tantalizing time
bomb of slow disco goodness, putting
yet another amazing spin on this track.
These brand new mixes are taken from
the AA side of the upcoming Hint 12”,
a double A side slice of vinyl which
also features the new and exclusive
bassline breakbeat tune, ‘Cmonstep’. A
club banger bearing Hint’s trademark
combination of heavy, quirky beats,
marauding bassline madness and a
cheekily unshakeable vocal hook.
We have 2 copies of the vinyl version
featuring the massive ‘Cmonstep’ to give
away. Just answer this question and follow

Data pulls out all the stops on this
release, and really steps into the
Metalheadz sound.
‘Muted’ is a minimal stripped back affair,
with tight drums and a glitchy beat that
creates a deep vibe. The pads cause stirs
of emotion and anticipation before the
drop harks back to the two steppers of
the 90's. The Reece bassline brings back
memories of ‘Pulp Fiction’, but bang up
to date on production. The edits work in
the tune and add depth to what appears
to be a simple track. If you want to haunt
the dancefloor, this one’s for you.
Flip over to ‘Splice’ and future Tech is
the message, as industrial sounding
drums and drones fill the air. The drum
patterns get more complicated and added
to the distorted strings, build to an epic
crescendo. The cinematic breakdown
gears you up for a huge bassline that
would tear apart front and back line of
any dirty DnB event. The technical break
rolls the track along and strong edits
keep switching the tune up while the
mid range bass drags you along with it.
A relentless minimal assault
Stagga
Sick As Sin Rag & Bone
APRIL 2009
‘Sick As Sin’ is the big hitter with its
centrepiece phrase “Dropping you out
like a bong of smack and waking you
up like a bong of crack”, courtesy of the
vocal talents of Skamma: it’s got big
tune written all over it.
On the flip ‘Predatory Control Freeks’
is a different matter altogether. Wise
uttering’s on the sinister intentions of
the new world architects drift in and
out of an eerie soundtrack. Meanwhile
‘Freight Dub’ gets deep on a smokers
vibe. Its swathes of spooky synths blend
perfectly with some hypnotic banter.
Fans of DZ, Starkey, Raffertie, Skream,
Joker and Rustie will like this. These
tracks have already seen early support
from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs
(Radio 1), Starkey (Planet Mu) and Sub
FM DJ’s with more to follow.

Compuphonic , New State Music
COMPU8
May 2009
Techno, House, Electro
Since his first release in 2005, Kris Menace has walked the fine line between the
commercial and the underground. "Discopolis," his greatest success, was snapped by
Defected and received a plethora of cheesy remixes, while current single "Scaller"
(think "Ribcage" after a heavy electro-choc therapy session) has been played out by
the likes of Felix da Housecat and Erol Alkan to Sasha and Pete Tong. That said,
Menace has never pandered: He's always released his material on Compuphonic—his
own label—and it's allowed him to remain an intriguing marginal player with a diverse
sound palette and a credibility that's barely ever questioned. Instead, along with
Lifelike and Frenchmen Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, Menace has simply become the
4th apostle of post-Crydamoure/Roulé filtered house, and Idiosyncrasies—his 3-CD
compilation—is the sub-genre's most convincing gospel so far.
CD 1, opening with "Discopolis" and closing with "Scaler," displays a strong sense of
sonic identity but also keeps things varied by dropping in examples of his numerous
collaborations. "Fairlight," an early pairing with Fred Falke, has the type of gorgeous
end-of-night feeling usually found in Italo-disco at its most somber and obscure, while
"Lumberjack," featuring Alan Braxe, is shamelessly celebratory. The stuff found on CD
2 might be lesser known but it's just as compelling: "Affinity," "Lightning," and
"Enamoured" (enhanced by Braxe's trademarked bouncy bass line) are the type of
electro house cuts usually best ignited by Mylo or Linus Loves, while "Poesie" and
"Vanity" could be hypothetical dub versions of Klymaxx-like, early-'80s electro funk;
"Dreamsequence," meanwhile, wouldn't sound of place at the end of a Vangelissponsored soundtrack.
With tracks such as "Stereophonic," "Snapshot" and "Steamroller," Menace mixes
early Chicago house influences with NYC garage from a filtered house perspective: All
that's missing is Crystal Waters or Ce Ce Peniston singing about finding pure love with
Mr. Right on top. In fact, Menace's dedication to instrumentals is one of the few things
that holds him back from a crossover moment. You can hear his hesitation in his
remixes, where you'd be lucky to recognize any traces of Tracey Thorn's warm tone or
Roisin Murphy's quirky presence. The remixing jobs gathered on CD 3, indeed often
seem more like monologues Menace is having with himself in the studio rather than
actual exchanges with the remixee: his take on Metronomy's "Heartbreaker" is, in this
sense, the only moment of faithfulness you'll find on here. Otherwise, you can tell
Menace knows this is part of his appeal, and this is why he barely lets Robbie
Williams, Moby or Underworld voice any concern (and probably why attention-loving
stars such as Madonna and Britney aren't begging for remixes).
Idiosyncrasies is hard to indulge in one take—as any 3 CD collection is—but it's
mostly a question of quantity, not quality. We always tend to assume that Justice and
the Ed Bangers are Daft Punk's true heirs, and on some level, this is accurate. Yet
those in search of Discovery-era digital frissons should look no further than this, the
unlikeliest—dare I say "idiosyncratic"?—gospel you'll ever hear.

It is a good review, but I think he is underrating CD3. This remix
collection is pure gold, and if you're into vocals, you can usually get
the vocals versions of his mixes separately.

Kris Menace Idiosyncracies Review
Album. Released 04 May 2009.
Discography information comes from MusicBrainz. You can add or edit information about Idiosyncracies (disc 2) at musicbrainz.org.
BBC Review
this is a case of more turning out to be less.
Chris Power 2009-05-14
Kris Menace, or Christophe Hoeffel to his mother, is certainly industrious. Active on
the dance scene since 2005, he has already started two record labels (Work It
Baby and Compuphonic), and produced a huge array of original tracks and
remixes. So it seems fitting in the light of this prodigious work-rate that
Idiosyncrasies, his debut album, should be spread over three discs and last around
three hours. Impressive as that is, however, it's less appealing when it becomes
apparent that despite its great length, this is an album that's short on ideas.
Tracks
Menace's sound is typified by opener Discopolis. Uplifting synths play a bright,
simple melody that slowly rises up around a tight and straightforward four-to-thefloor beat, the building tension finally released with the advent of the type of solidly
funky electro bassline familiar to fans of Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, the French
duo who specialised, before their split in 2008, in shiny disco-house nuggets
exemplified by their 2000 smash hit Running.

Dreamsequence
Menace went on to work with both Falke and Braxe and those collaborations are
included here. By far the best of his co-productions, however, is 2008's
Stereophonic. This is a reworking of the 1995 track Stereo by seminal progressive
house producers Spooky, but while it is thrilling – a rising organ melody around
which a swirling synth melody weaves itself before breaking into a rock solid
breakbeat – it's really no more than a slowed down version of the original track.
10 Enamoured (feat. Fred Falke)
11 Cybernatic
Menace's own productions don't stray far from the formula of those already
mentioned. Even those tracks on the remix disc, from his version of LCD
Soundsystem's North American Scum to Robbie Williams's She's Madonna, are
more or less interchangeable with his own original productions. Only his spacey
take on Metronomy's Heartbreaker and Moroder-bassline remix of Underworld's
Ring Road (which harks back to their own King Of Snake) sound distinctive. And
therein lies the problem. Generously priced as a single album Idiosyncrasies
potentially offers plenty of bang for your buck, but given the uniform nature of the
music on offer this is a case of more turning out to be less.

IDIOSYNCRASIES
Reviewed by:BenGomori
Rating:8/10
Frankfurt’s Kris Menace has slowly but surely made a name for himself as one of the most indemand producers in dance music since his breakthrough with Lifelike, Discopolis, back in 2005.
His debut album is a 3 disc affair – and disappointingly doesn’t see him team up with any
vocalists. We’d love to hear him produce some well-known artists rather than just remix them. But
that aside, there’s lots of rich pickings to be found here.
It’s a joy to hear his various classics brought together in album form – we’re reminded of the
stunning, hypnotic euphoria of Discopolis and Jupiter, the ‘80s synth-pop joyfulness of Fairlight
and Lumberjack, the housey bassline funk of Artificial and the crowd-pleasing piano and breaks
stomp of Stereophonic. Out of the new cuts, current single Metropolis retreads old ground in a
reasonably simple fashion, but still makes for a pleasant listen, Invaders with Hexstatic is a
misguided reworking of the classic arcade game (too messy and haphazard), Steamroller is like an
instrumental Depeche Mode in full-on party mode, and the hectic rave vibes of Snapshot and
Scaler represent a real departure from his usual sound.
Disc 2 offers a more mellow, home listening vibe. The textures, sounds and ideas are similar, but
slowed down and given a softer tint. Micropacer goes full on electro-disco, borrowing liberally
from past glories, and indeed this disc is at its best when doing so – taking the sounds of classic
electro and synth pop, but steering the focus away from vocals and towards the fun, emotive
sounds. Dreamsequence is Labyrinth-esque epicness and Enamoured It’s generally a bit too
similar though – meaning much of the disc passes you by. The final disc gathers up some of his
best remixes (of which there have been a huge amount now), including top reworkings of LCD
Soundsystems’ North American Scum (giving it a euphoric, floaty going over) and of Tracey
Thorn’s It’s All True (a simple but effective beefing up of the superb original).
With so much to digest here and very similar sounds running through much of it, it’s a bit
excessive and frequently a bit forgettable, which is a shame as a more succinct collection mixing up
his dancefloor and other material would have left more of a mark. There’s no doubt that he’s a real
talent though, with plenty of quality here to enjoy – but it just goes to show that you can have too
much of a good thing.

Menace's previous collaborations with Alan Braxe, Lifelike and Fred Falke are all
included on the first CD, in addition to new material from his sessions with Felix Da
Housecat, and UK breakbeat acts Spooky and Hexstatic, while disc two is generally
more relaxed in tone, with Menace experimenting with atmospheric electronica and
warm, blissful ambience.
As if that wasn't enough, you get an extra CD which compiles eleven of Menace's
major label remixes, including re-rubs of The Presets, Metronomy, LCD
Soundsystem and Underworld.

After years spent collaborating, moving in the same circles as Daft Punk collaborators
Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, and running the Work It Baby label, Kris Menace
pushed his way into a solo career that proved equally fruitful. When he's not remixing
everyone from Royksopp to LCD Soundsystem and Moby, Menace has been
compiling his long awaited debut album, Idiosyncrasies, that's grown into a three disc
monster. But here's something short and tasty that boils down his sound in three and
half minutes: "Electricity," which features Mr. Falke's coiled bass guitar licks, explodes
with colorful and slightly retro melodies that encircle listeners heads like electro
satellites.

Idiosyncrasies
Something of a retrospective collection from Mr Menace, 'Idiosyncrasies' features tracks from 2005
debut 'Discopolis' onwards, covering just about everything in a 3-CD box. It’s quite difficult to imagine
that there's enough sufficient hardcore fans out there to require such a tome, but as the blurb boasts
with “over three hours” of material, you’d have to be pretty hardcore to stay the course.
CD1 has you playing a spot the influence type game with its crowd-pleasing Techno Lite ditties.
'Fairlight' seems to be an ode to 80s cheese, coming off like every riff ever done on a Romo
keyboard and hexagonal drum kit with some Boogie Nights porno guitars chucked in for measure.
'Voyage' is a little too like the instrumental of 'Everything She Wants' by Wham! While 'Scaler' is
something of an anti-climax, for something that's apparently got big-name DJs in a spin monotonous mid-tempo sets of scales, firstly in a slightly enchanted house, then later in a slightly
haunted one. Call Derek Acorah, I need to contact a melody!
CD2 delivers more chilled twiddlings, stopping by early 80s jazz-funk and never quite reaching early
Prince; pleasant enough stuff, though. Christophe can clearly twiddle the production knobs slickly and
deftly, but it seems to be missing some soul, some oomph, some balls.
CD3, the remixes, brings some redemption. Sort of! But it's disappointing that there's so little of LCD
in the 'North American Scum' rework, and absolutely no Tracey Thorn in 'It’s All True'. There’s also
mercifully little of Robbie Williams in his remix either - a definite improvement. Ultimately, though, if
you can’t bring something fresh to the party, why bother? The formula works best on Metronomy’s
'Heartbreaker' but then it’s hard to mess up what is already a great song.
All in all, most people should like something amongst the three CDs – just try taking it one hour at a
time.

WEEK 2
Credit crunch getting you down? No cash for new tunes?
We’re here to help…
Up for grabs this week are two prize packs containing: the excellent new
artist album from DJ Hell, Teufelswerk; more goodness from Hell’s
Gigolo Recordings in the shape of label showcase compilation Eleven;
Evil Nine’s latest album, They Live, plus a T-shirt; the amazing debut
album from Blackbelt Andersen on Prins Thomas’s label Full Pupp;
vinyl copies of the new Specimen A EP, Hazardous Material Pt 2; vinyl
copies of the new Breakfastaz track Acting Wrong; the debut album
from hot-to-trot producer Kris Menace, Idiosyncrasies; and the
three-disc old skool rave up that is Moondance: The Ultimate Old Skool
Anthems…
And we’ve got two pairs of passes to the next big Musika party in
Edinburgh on May 2 – which promises to be a belter – with guest slots
from none other than Luciano and M.A.N.D.Y. Read on to find out
more about the prizes and for entry details…
Hell – Teufelswerk [Gigolo Recordings]
Teufelswerk – the German for Devil’s Work – might well be DJ Hell’s
masterpiece. Across two discs and 16 tracks, the album is divided into
two themes, Night and Day – the former offers a contemporary
interpretation of Chicago house and Detroit techno, the latter finds Hell
embracing the cosmic groove of his roots. “The album is very personal,”
he says. “All my knowledge is there. I went back really far to the early
70s. I don’t think I can make a better record.” If you’re familiar with
Hell’s earlier albums, 1998’s Munich Machine and 2004’s NY Muscle, will
recognise the Night half of the album, with comes complete with
collaborations with P Diddy and Bryan Ferry of Roxy Music fame. “The
Night album is what people expect from a guy like me,” says Hell. “I
choose a lot of producers in different studios with different sounds and
put my flavour there. It is from a DJ for the other DJs.” The Day CD –
produced with Peter Kruder – is Hell’s take on Kosmische Musik music,
that style of ‘70s psychedelic experimental boogie played by Can and
Neu! This is the music that inspired the beginning of Hell’s career. “I
have done Kosmische Musik in a new way,” he says. “This is where I
come from, I grew up with the early German electronic pioneers of
music, and this is why I went in this direction. Often it is called German
electronic avant-garde, or psychedelic music. I went back to the ‘70s
and tried to do it in my own way. Teufelswerk represents the music in
the best way: it’s the work of the devil – and it’s the work of me, the
work of Hell.”
Teufelswerk is out on Gigolo Recordings on April 27. Visit www.djhell.com
and www.myspace.com/djhell
DJ Hell – Eleven [Gigolo Recordings]
Here’s more goodness from DJ Hell’s International Deejay Gigolo imprint
with the latest showcase compilation – the 11th unmixed double CD
compilation – for all those fans and fanatics of the ‘Mega-Church of
Gigolo’. Including 16 never-before-heard monster tracks, the album is a
celebration of the label’s avant-garde and legendary roster – and we
reckon this is one of Gigolo’s strongest comps in a long time. CD one
kicks off with DJ Pierre’s I’ve Lost Control. There’s also Peter Kruder’s
excellent Visions Ltd, IMB’s Kill Bill, Opiates’ Candy Coated Crime, G.rizo
featuring DJ Glow & Donovan with Boys Medley, Hell’s own The Disaster,
plus tracks from Joel Alter, The Model, Motor, Richard Bartz, Acid
Junkies, Captain Commodore and Seelenluft. CD two features tunes
from Actor One, Marascia, Fetische &Me, Snuff Crew, Herman Schwartz,
Abe Duque, Lopazz, Bennie A, Heib, Joe Le Bone, Phobia.
Eleven is out now on Gigolo Recordings. Visit www.djhell.com and
www.myspace.com/djhell
Evil Nine – They Live [Marine Parade]
It’s been out for a while now, by Evil Nine’s second album – the zombieinspired They Live – still sounds as good as when it dropped back in the
autumn. Here’s what Eddy Temple Morris has to say about them: “Evil
Nine have always been one step ahead of the game, what amazes me
now is they're still ahead, even when they're being 'retro'. You Can Be
Special Too was a tough act to follow, but the Evils have done it,
stylishly, unpredictably and with their unique panache.” You can get hold
of a copy of the album and a T-shirt to help celebrate the release of
Icicles, the third single from the long-player, which comes with remixes
by Evil Nine themselves, label boss Adam Freeland, Shir Khan and
UNKLE. And like the previous singles, it also comes with its own Zombie
video.“We wrote this specifically to be the last track on the album, the
epic last song, the emotional goodbye and that’s just what it is,” says
Pat Pardy. “Seraphim's sweet, heartfelt vocal just pushes the point even
further – goodbye!”

Blackbelt Andersen – Blackbelt Andersen [Full Pupp]
Prins Thomas’ Full Pupp follows up its extremely well received Greatest
Tits Vol. 1 compilation with the eponymously titled debut artist album
from the uber-talented Blackbelt Andersen. Norway-based Full Pupp has
built an incredible reputation in four short years, and thanks to singles
from the likes of Todd Terje, and Thomas they’ve helped bring the Oslo
nu-disco sound to the masses. Andersen has become a key part of the
Norway scene both as DJ and producer. He is co-resident at the Full
Pupp night and has guested across the globe from Berlin to Beijing.
Musically his roots are sunk in the sounds of Detroit techno and
Scandinavian disco, with his productions in recent years taking on a
unique quality mixing a whole host of styles. This debut album is an
infectious mix of motor city strings, Brazilian rhythms and arpeggiated
disco basslines. This results in a 70+ minute smorgasbord of
instrumental, cosmic disco blended together that is set to be a future
classic.
Blackbelt Andersen is out now on Full Pupp. Visit

Specimen A – Hazardous Material [Funkatech]
Following up where part one of Hazardous Material left off, Specimen A
return with a vengeance this year to dose us with another infectious load
of beats and toxic bass. The first track on this new EP pays homage to
the credit crunch – titled Hard Times, it’s a 130bpm breakbeat behemoth
with thundering basslines, electronic wobbles and raw beats. Flip for
Exodus RIP, a reworking of their 2007 track Exodus into a much more
ferocious beast.
Hazardous Material Pt.2 is out on Funkatech on April 27. Visit

Breakfastaz – Acting Wrong [The Breakfast Club]
After smashing their way back into the record boxes of all and sundry
last year with a swathe of releases on their own label The Breakfast
Club, The Breakfastaz continue their barnstorming return to form with
new single Acting Wrong. For their latest offering, they’ve teamed up
with UK soul sensation Meshach Broderick to combine silky vocals with
the kind of drums, bass and synth lines that have made every
Breakfastaz release an absolute essential for any self-respecting breaks
DJ. The flip sees Ctrl Z on remix duties, providing their vision of the
2008 Breakfastaz smash Girls, Money, Drink And Drugs featuring MC
Ivory. “It’s another fat and devastating Breakfastasz production,” says
Krafty Kuts. “Cool and slick vocals, smooth edits and the quirky licks,
one of my favourite tracks they have written so far. More please.”
Acting Wrong/Girls, Money, Drink And Drugs is out now on The Breakfast
Club. Visit www.myspace.com/thebreakfastaz and www.thebreakfastaz.com
Kris Menace – Idiosyncrasies [Compuphonic]
Pete Tong, Erol Alkan and Laurent Garnier are all massive fans. Primal
Scream cohort and ex Sabre Jagz Kooner wants to work with him. His
remixography includes LCD Soundsystem, Moby, Underworld, Air,
Metronomy and Robbie Williams. Welcome to the world of Kris Menace, a
man who is fast becoming known as one of the most respected
producers and remixer’s on the planet. Famed for his Italo disco-inspired
tracks, Menace’s debut single Discopolis became one of the biggest
dance tunes of 2005. But 2009 looks set to be his biggest year to date,
starting with the release of his debut album, Idiosyncrasies. A triple disc
collection of classic tracks interspersed with fresh new productions,
collaborations and remixes.

Moondance: The Ultimate Old Skool Anthems [New State
Music]
At the height of raves across the countryside, M25 and warehouses,
Moondance was the shout out to the ravers. Now Moondance is back
with a massive collection of rave anthems, taking in old skool rave,
hardcore and junglist drum ‘n’ bass across three CDs. Mixed by the
Moondance team in pure tear it up style and rammed full of exclusive
remixes of classic tunes, this will have you digging out the glow sticks
and facemasks to show those nu rave brats how it’s done.
Moondance is out now on New State Music. Visit www.newstatemusic.com

Kris Menace doesn't fit easily into the current spectrum of dance music. His inspiration, it says here, is 80s Italo Disco, but one might more
easily identify the influence of artists such as Giorgio Moroder and Tangerine Dream. Rather than a proper album, Idiosyncrasies is a three
disc, inexhaustive overview of his career so far, featuring both his own productions and remixes for others.
out of 10
What stands out most is Menace's preference for relatively low BPM. Even his best known track, 2005's Discopolis, lacks the big drum builds

you might expect from an Ibiza anthem. The focus is instead on synths, which he uses to paint a warm, blissful sound. It's on Jupiter, an
exercise in perfect dancefloor tension, reaching a true MDMA-esque peak, that these find best expression. Scaler is also worthy of singling
out as an atypically sweaty, techno-styled number built around a series of ascending riffs.
Elsewhere, Menace is unafraid to dabble in uncool. You might expect an epic track that features squally 80s guitar over synths to be naff, yet
Fairlight pt. 1 & pt. 2 somehow manages to enthrall. There's certainly some strange irony in a remix of Robbie Williams' She's Madonna
being better than one of LCD Soundsystem's North American Scum. (It's all down to that Kraftwerkian synth.) In truth, though, remixes don't
seem to suit Menace well, with most tracks reduced to a mid-tempo plod. The main exception is his take on Underworld's Ring Road, which
bears a striking resemblance to The Chemical Brothers' Out of Control and thus is rather wonderful.
Away from the mind-blowing stuff, Idiosyncrasies tends towards the samey and mediocre. Most of disc two sounds like incidental music from
a "night spot" scene in Neighbours. Still, filler is perhaps to be expected on such a collection, and there is a smattering enough of excellence
to recommend this to electronica fans.

Kris Menace 'Idiosyncrasies'
(Compuphonic / New State)
The uber talented Mr Menace, (or Christophe Hoeffel if you prefer) who over the years has given us such
defining clubbing standards as ‘Discopolis’ and acclaimed alliances with Alan Braxe, Lifelike and Felix Da
Housecat, unleashes his long overdue debut. A massive 3CD collection of something old, some new and
something borrowed – the latter a handful of acclaimed remixes for the likes of Robbie Williams, Underworld,
Roisin Murphy, Tracey Thorn, LCD Soundsystem and Moby. As to the new bits there’s his latest single, ‘Scaler’,
(another tasty slice of clean, crisp and irresistible electronica, fast gaining support from Soulwax, Erol Alkan
and Laurent Garnier); the previously released singles ‘Voyage’, ‘Fairlight’, ‘Steamroller’ and ‘Jupiter’ (the latter
becoming one of Beatport’s biggest downloads in 2006) and a handful of material with long time friend and DJ
partner Alan Braxe. A must have item for anyone remotely interested in what’s being played on today’s
dancefloors.

KRIS MENACE ANNOUNCES DEBUT TRIPLE LP
Kris Menace has frequently delivered truly blinding tracks since the release of the timeless
Discopolis back in 2005 alongside Lifelike. His mix of Italo disco, ‘80s electro-pop and
euphoric house is an unashamedly joyful one, and as witnessed on countless gorgeous
singles (Jupiter, Fairlight, Lumberjack) and stunning remixes for some of the biggest
musicians in the world, he’s got an enduring talent.
It’s very exciting then, to hear that his debut album Idiosyncrasies is finally on the way –
and it’s no ordinary debut album. It’s a triple CD – with the first 2 CDs featuring his own
productions both old and new, with collaborations alongside the likes of regular partner
Fred Falke, Hexstatic, Spooky and Felix Da Housecat. Then the third CD rounds up some
of his finest remixes – including one of our faves, his re-rub of Tracey Thorn’s It’s All
True. So it’s kind of like half greatest hits, half new material.
The album will be released on his own Compuphonic label in April.

○○○○●
I LIKE to listen to music in my car.
And working in Loughborough, around 40-45 minutes from my house in Ashby-dela-Zouch, I can normally listen to a full album on the daily commute.
Now granted I am referring to Good Friday - so there was probably a little less
traffic on the roads than usual - but I pressed play on Kris Menace's three-CD
marathon debut Idiosycrasies as I left for work, and as I reached the Echo office
the CD was in the dying throes of Jupiter, a mere track three on the album.
Up-and-coming electronic producer Kris Menace, no relation to Dennis The, is not
a man to do things in a rush.
In fact, if you were to listen to this album start to finish it would take more than
three hours from your day.
Aside from that gripe, Idiosyncrasies, which is made up of two CDs of original
work and one of remixes, is still a worthwhile listen, made up of slow-growing,
DJ-friendly electro and house tracks and some nifty remix work.
The likes of Soulwax, Erol Alkan, Pete Tong and Laurent Garnier are all already
vocal supporters of Menace, and should you have the time to listen, I'm sure he'll
grow on you.
This blog aims to link people to
music, and I will try to update it as
regularly as possible - daily if I can.
If you have any questions about the
blog, would like to make comments
and suggestions or would like to link
to this page, feel free to e-mail me
or comment on a post.
Without readers' input - or indeed
readers - this blog is just a pointless
exercise in getting promo CDs sent
out to me, so get in touch.
I can't be right about everything all of
the time - if you disagree with me,
please let me know.
Everyone makes mistakes - but as a
fully-trained, professional journalist I'd
like to think I don't make many.
But if I do, I'd like them to be
corrected as soon as possible.
So if you spot any typos or
inaccuracies in any of my posts,
please leave me a comment, as smug
as you like, underneath the offending
post, and I'll sort it out.
Plus, if you're a resident of the UK and
you e-mail me to let me know at
[email protected], I'll post you
out a promo CD or two to say
"thanks".
Terms and conditions apply.

Pete Tong, Erol Alkan and Laurent Garnier are all
massive fans. Primal Scream cohort and ex Sabre
Jagz Kooner wants to work with him. His
remixography includes LCD Soundsystem, Moby,
Underworld, Air, Metronomy and Robbie Williams.
Welcome to the world of Kris Menace, a man who is fast becoming

Famed for his Italo disco-inspired tracks, Menace’s debut single
Discopolis became one of the biggest dance tunes of 2005, a bona
fide Ibiza anthem that got picked up by Defected Records and helped
lay the groundwork for Kris to become one of the hottest names in
the scene.
Kris launched the label Compuphonic as a vehicle for his own
productions and with this Menace’s popularity continued to grow with
tracks such as Voyage, Fairlight, Steamroller and Jupiter - the latter
becoming one of Beatport’s biggest downloads in 2006. He also
began DJing with friend and legendary producer in his own right Alan
Braxe, leading to the collaboration single Lumberjack released on
Vulture Music in June 2007 (featured on this release). Kris is also the
label owner of house label Work It Baby where he has nurtured the
careers of Fred Falke, Patrick Alavi, Lifelike and Serge Santiago.
2009 looks set to be Menace’s biggest year to date, starting with the
release of his debut album, Idiosyncrasies. A triple disc collection of
classic tracks interspersed with fresh new productions, collaborations
and remixes; this release single-handedly proves a capsule-like
answer why Menace has made such a big impact in the electronic
scene to date.

including Idiosyncrasy and next single Metropolis that clearly show Menace’s ability to
produce sharp, modern records that are flavoured with retro synth riffs and drum

ambience. Affinity and Lightning pick up the tempo for some more retro tech vibes and
collaborations come from Douze for the sultry Challenger and Fred Falke joins Menace
for Enamoured and Electricity.

Menace’s popularity continued to grow with tracks such as Voyage, Fairlight, Steamroller and
Jupiter - the latter becoming one of Beatport’s biggest downloads in 2006. He also began
DJing with friend and legendary producer in his own right Alan Braxe, leading to the
collaboration single Lumberjack released on Vulture Music in June 2007 (featured on this
release). Kris is also the label owner of house label Work It Baby where he has nurtured the
careers of Fred Falke, Patrick Alavi, Lifelike and Serge Santiago.
2009 looks set to be Menace’s biggest year to date, starting with the release of his debut
album, Idiosyncrasies. A triple disc collection of classic tracks interspersed with fresh new
productions, collaborations and remixes; this release single-handedly proves a capsule-like
answer why Menace has made such a big impact in the electronic scene to date.

CD1 opens up with the iconic Discopolis (with Lifelike) and features brand new tracks
including Idiosyncrasy and next single Metropolis that clearly show Menace’s ability to
produce sharp, modern records that are flavoured with retro synth riffs and drum patterns.
Classic back-catalogue tracks Jupiter and Voyage show off a spacey, tech-funk vibe while
collaborations come from the likes of Hexstatic for the frantic re-edit of Invaders, house
legend Felix Da Housecat for Artificial and Kris takes on a classic from dance pioneers
Spooky and the results are the sublime Stereophonic. The first disc finishes with the current
club destroyer Scaler that has everyone from Soulwax and Erol Alkan through to Style Of Eye
and A-Trak claiming it’s one of their biggest tunes.
CD2 eases in with the chilled Sensuality and follows with more atmospheric slices of
electronica including Micropacer and Borderline that both share a blissful, warm ambience.
Affinity and Lightning pick up the tempo for some more retro tech vibes and collaborations
come from Douze for the sultry Challenger and Fred Falke joins Menace for Enamoured and
Electricity.
CD3 showcases why Kris Menace is one of the most in-demand remixer’s today, including rerubs for DFA kings LCD Soundsystem, Everything But The Girl famed Tracey Thorn, Roisin
Murphy, French electronica act Air, Metronomy and Robbie Williams.
So there you have it. Three CDs, thirty-seven titles and over three hours of music showcasing
Kris Menaces’ musical career to date and justifying the hype behind this fantastic artist.

one of the hottest names in the scene.
Kris launched

the label Compuphonic as a vehicle for his own productions and with this Menace’s popularity continued to
grow with tracks such as Voyage, Fairlight, Steamroller and Jupiter - the latter becoming one of Beatport’s biggest
downloads in 2006. He also began DJing with friend and legendary producer in his own right Alan Braxe, leading to the
collaboration single Lumberjack released on Vulture Music in June 2007 (featured on this release). Kris is also the label
owner of house label Work It Baby where he has nurtured the careers of Fred Falke, Patrick Alavi, Lifelike and Serge
Santiago.
2009 looks set to be Menace’s biggest year to date, starting with the release of his debut album, Idiosyncrasies. A triple
disc collection of classic tracks interspersed with fresh new productions, collaborations and remixes; this release singlehandedly proves a capsule-like answer why Menace has made such a big impact in the electronic scene to date.
CD1 opens up with the iconic Discopolis (with Lifelike) and features brand new tracks including Idiosyncrasy and next single
Metropolis that clearly show Menace’s ability to produce sharp, modern records that are flavoured with retro synth riffs and
drum patterns. Classic back-catalogue tracks Jupiter and Voyage show off a spacey, tech-funk vibe while collaborations
come from the likes of Hexstatic for the frantic re-edit of Invaders, house legend Felix Da Housecat for Artificial and Kris
takes on a classic from dance pioneers Spooky and the results are the sublime Stereophonic. The first disc finishes with
the current club destroyer Scaler that has everyone from Soulwax and Erol Alkan through to Style Of Eye and A-Trak
claiming it’s one of their biggest tunes.
CD2 eases in with the chilled Sensuality and follows with more atmospheric slices of electronica including Micropacer and
Borderline that both share a blissful, warm ambience. Affinity and Lightning pick up the tempo for some more retro tech
vibes and collaborations come from Douze for the sultry Challenger and Fred Falke joins Menace for Enamoured and
Electricity.
CD3 showcases why Kris Menace is one of the most in-demand remixer’s today, including re-rubs for DFA kings LCD
Soundsystem, Everything But The Girl famed Tracey Thorn, Roisin Murphy, French electronica act Air, Metronomy and
Robbie Williams.
So there you have it. Three CDs, thirty-seven titles and over three hours of music showcasing Kris Menaces’ musical career
to date and justifying the hype behind this fantastic artist.
