On Tuesday 27th of October I AM play host to a special set from our top boy Domenic Cappello, a theme of his own picking; ELECTRO.
Electro can refer to a myriad of sounds, really anything made mainly or wholly through drum machines and electronic instruments. Some would say it’s closer related to House, Techno, or Hip-Hop but our favourite definition is the old “Kraftwerk and George Clinton meeting in an elevator” aphorism, coined by Derrick May to define Techno, but far better encapsulating the sound of Electro.
Whatever the hell it is or how you define it, you can bet your bottom synthesiser it’s going to be a wild yin.
Here is a top 10 the man himself has compiled to get you in the mood…
1. High Fidelity Three – B-Boys Breakdance
2. Aux 88 – The DJ
3. Drexciya – You Don’t Know
4. Newcleus – Computer Age Push The Button
5. Hashim – Al-Naafiysh (The Soul) (Rock Rock Fiysh)
6. Afrika Bambaataa – Looking for the Perfect Beat
7. Underground Resistance – The Final Fronteir
8. Aux 88 – Electro Boogie
9. Newcleus – Teknology
10. Pretty Tony – Jam The Box
