Dagobert & Kalson - Astronaut EP - Dominance Electricity

I might ruffle a few feathers here, but I would put forth that Dominance Electricity is probably the pre-eminent label in the electro scene these days. Absolutely zero shots at any of the other labels, because as all the readers of CoB know, I push sounds from everyone who's doing anything in this little scene or ours.. but when I say pre-emiment, I mean absoolute presence in the sense of branding, A&R development, graphic design and presentation... and releasing big albums.

Are they the Metalheadz of our scene? Who knows, I've gone on a tangent when I really mean to be telling electro heads that the new Dagobert & Kalson EP is on some serious electro business. What I find most interesting about this record, and in general across most of the DE releases, is that they really capture this crazy vibe of modernizing the classic electro sound. This s--t doesn't sound old school, it doesn't sound new school... it just sounds like what one images electro would sound like in 2011 if you were pontificating on that in 1991.

It's the future, rooted in the past. There's a Polish word that applies here... korzenie. The direct translation is roots, but it's not just that - you can tell these are cats who follow the Rakim school of thought - know where you're from but it's where your at that counts.

Dagobert and Kalson deliver big on this release, and it's well worth your time to listen through, minimize those browser windows and just crank it and let it seep in. Light on up, crack one open, or practice your breathing techniques if you're on the natural tip. Recommended. Out now and available digitally as well is various other formats.
