I freaked out when I found out this band was a side project from the band “Death From Above 1979” Totally Different sounding band. I think that band has disband now though. These guys are talented. This is some of the best dance music I have heard in ages. I will throw out a comparison though. It does remind me of a more upbeat Daft Punk.

I seriously have listened to this LP a lot since I bought it and downloaded it from amazon’s mp3 store. I discovered it from buying LCD Sound system and Digitalism, it was one of those “other people who bought this, bought this” Thingies. What luck. I thought it was super corny when I first listened to it but it grew on me. I saw the video for “EASY LOVE” first, and this is what really made me like it. I couldnt get it out of my head. Sure its a tad perverted, but it kind of reminds me of the benny benassi “satisfaction” video in a weird way.

This kind of reminds me of the newer toxic coma We’ve been doing as well, it has the upbeat disco techno vibe. With catchy hooks. Even though this is a dance lp, i consider it to be very musical, there are cool synthleads all over the record, nifty bass lines that are pretty complex as well.

The track Street Justice reminds me of something the Chemical Brothers would do. The best way to describe the whole lp is “infectious”. I seriously can’t get this out of my head. I prefer it to most of the techno lps I have heard over the last 10 years. I think it has more bite than the chemical brothers, it’s more musical and catchier as well. I never thought I would say something like that about a new techno band.

My favorite tracks are Easy Love, Paris, She’s Good For Business, and Work on you. I love their remixes as well. Ontario is blessed to have such a kick ass techno project.
