about

Emile Strunz continues his mid-tempo journey charting a course through the harder, darker waters of electronic dance music with the North Sea Body Music EP released this November on Flight Recorder.

Continuing along the strong current where recent stunning releases on World Unknown, Tusk Wax, and Rothmans ventured, the North Sea Body Music EP was recorded during the great storm of June 28th 2012 in Emile's studio on the mouth of the River Tyne literally overlooking the North Sea.

Deception was recorded against a backdrop of pitch black skies, torrential rain, and lightning strikes, with the intense conditions feeding directly into the DNA of the track - an aggressive chugging tribal bomb that evokes vintage Tenaglia dropping hypnotic New Beat at Ancienne Belgique in 1989, with its thunderous, rolling rhythms and analogue basslines propelling the track towards a climax of ecstatic delirium.

Kid Machine takes the tempo down even further, locking into a controlled robotic groove that allows the driving bassline to pulsate and prowl, whilst taking the track in a fresh uplifting direction, oceans away from the seductive stomp of the original.

Élan vital is a Trans-Atlantic turbine-driven paean to Miami post-modernity and European classicism, that references Jan Hammer, Cabaret Voltaire, Italo-disco, acid-house and Bobby O whilst navigating its way around the darker extremes of the dancefloor.

And just when the barrage of electro-charged body-beat sequences gets too much, Flight Recorder's Iron Blu increases the voltage further on a reprise which strips away the beat, adds further waves of electronica and creates an exotic pulsating soundscape of startling scope and ambition.
