about

Replicants launches the first EP in a forthcoming series, establishing much of an expansive realm up front - a hopscotch of electro lineage drawn through decades of vintage production that traces back through new wave, retro hip hop and electro, via coldwave and early synth pop. Replicants first Woodwork outing manages a modern obscure slant on some distinct classic sounding tracks.

Three electro rockers keep things fiery enough. Toned down robotics fuel ‘Mindwurm’, with soaring leads and vocoder breaks pushing a bit tougher on ‘Me’ I’, while arcade drum solos flavour the breaks on the retro bboy jam, ‘Boys’. A remix of ‘Mindwurm’ is added for a steady and sparse variation to compliment the original.

Replicants strikes an equally compelling tone on the deeper cuts between. A dreamy, psychedelic haze lingers over the bleep electronica of ‘the db5s’, featuring some entrancing FM electronic piano clearly intended for you, the robot flower child. ‘Organic Synthetic Electronic’ serves up some punchy Roland Rhythm Composer behind a Krafwerk-modeled synth pop jam. ‘Checkpoint Charlie’ takes some bold liberties with it’s highly unusual hybrid of syncopated dub breaks, all reaching a satisfying payoff as the track immerses in searing analog synth and a huge chanting effect.

The Bandcamp version of this release features some free BONUS extras, included only with the full package. Two alternate versions of ‘Me, I’ reveal the inspiration behind the track, with one version taking a wandering song structure while the other offers a more tracky club cut.
