Review:
Following releases over the years for Made To Play and Teki Latex's Sound Pellegrino imprint, Renaissance Man have refined their sound and found themselves headhunted by Tiga for their debut album release on Turbo Recordings. Beginning with the oddball house of "What Do You Do When You Do What You Do", the album continues along with its wildly experimental take on electro. "Stalker Humanoid" for instance offers a driving house beat in the vein of Claude Von Stroke, but with the sound of slightly off key plucked strings, while "Vancouver" takes various flute samples and puts them atop a funereal beat. "Natti Jussi" meanwhile is a slightly more serious but no less playful slice of jaunty Germanic sounding minimal house, while "Trance Central" offers another surprisingly deep mid-tempo house track with weird vocal flourishes. All things considered, it's a fascinating ride, and its infectious energy is bound to impress those looking for something more than the standard electro-house.
