Lady Blacktronika - A Lonely Space Program LP

Lady Blacktronika : She needs no introduction to the usual Skylax heads; after last year's killer 'It's a Blacktronika world' EP, the queen of beatdown returns to the Skylax fold with a packed eleven track LP for us. It has got her signature slo-mo grooves, as well as a couple of housier cuts on the back-end of the record. Naturally, a lot of these tracks are perfect for the club on their own, whether it's an early set or a late one, but the LP really stands up on a full run through for home listening too. On the topside of the record, there's the chugging vibe of Who Doctor", with its whirling synth and sizzling hats perfect for that low light, early mood. Then you have the likes of "How I Miss My X", and titular track "A Lonely Space Program", that both raise the tempo into housier territory. All bases covered, really. This record is a slice of beatdown history, one you'd be a fool to sleep on!
