Debut release from Andy on Modern Love.

Emerging out of the same beatmaking hub and studio space that gave the world Claro Intelecto, andy stott has been writring tracks for quite a few years now, despite the fact that he's only just stopped being a teenager. His club tracks see another re-modification of classic detroit stylings , setting on a metting between detrouit techno, soulful house and a hithero underfined varioation of electronic music.

"8ight" thuds right up into your face with a jack hammering bassline, which covers a cracking snap beat twisted together with a load of lazers by a ribbon of thudding atmosphere. This one really show what Andy is all about and slams home the message that his minature army is fully charged and ready to cause some chaos. Top!. " Talk touch" develops slowly with a resonating bassline which is trying to tap into your natural rhythm and shatter you to smithereens. Slowly and cleverly it releases a cascade of easy but crunchy midnight callings, this is definetly one for the robotic ladies out there. If you love jackdancing in the early hours to a head nodding pattern of a crisp environment, topped with electronic stylings, fall right in.

"Replace" pixelates the view from your crisp manufactured vehicle whilst tracing a map in the air like the tip of a jet plane ripping through the still air in its path, and then throws a handful of lost time in your direction. Crisp crunch laden vessels full to the brim with technique and imagination, its all good.

Andy stott has created a killer debut ep on the Modern Love Label. You can see where the hours rubbing shoulders with the likes of Claro has played off, with this ep being a character rich portion of machine led storytelling, with that injection of genuis that tops it all off. Id keep an eye out for more of Mr Stott at this rate.
