Alan Howarth At Juno Download

Review: Playgroup founder and all-round DJ guru Trevor Jackson follows up his excellent Metal Dance compilation, which unearthed some seriously mind-blowing '80s post-punk, EBM and industrial grooves, with a special three-track single of some of the highlights - including The Cage's incredible robotic take on T-Connection's disco classic "Do What You Wanna Do", performed with Labelle singer Nona Hendryx on vocals, as well as an outstanding edit of movements of the soundtrack of John Carpenter's '80s classic "Escape From New York". Truly wild and obscure stuff that fits in nicely with the more underground tech sounds out there today.
