Synopsis

Album Description

Kings of Electro collects some of the finest records in the genre, from early classics to modern boundary pushers. Trevor Jackson and Alter Ego apply their intimate knowledge of the synth driven sound, creating a mix which acts as both a primer in the history of electro, and a barometer of the distance it has traveled in its more than twenty years of existence.

CD Reviews

Killer electro & old skool mix

R. Barnes | Philly | 07/28/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Both CDs are continuous mix CDs. The first disc is absolutely amazing. It contains a number of classic old skool electro tracks as well as some fantastic gems I had never heard before. The mix is not repetitive and many of the songs do include vocals. The type of vocal that is most prominent is that sing-song rap style that was popular before Run DMC dropped (think Rapper's Delight, Cold Crush Bros., etc.).

If you are down with Diplo's Fabric CD, you should definitely like both cds.

Btw, another reviewer mentions that some tracks on these discs are not technically "electro." That is true. However, all the songs are great, the mix is great, they all sound good together, so I am not bothered by the genre blending at all."

Not what it says on the tin!!!

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The first CD is a lot of really dated old skool electro. Not really my kinda thing. The second cd is a bit better, but since when were 'Dooms night' and old deep house cuts by deep dish (Casa de X) considered electro. There's some good old techno tracks too, the standout being Acid Jesus. In all a very average 'listen once or twice and then archive' CD."
