Justin Crawford and Luke Cowdrey first came to prominence as the Unabombers and attracted quite a following at their club, Electric Chair in Manchester, a sweaty basement club that cornered the market in dirty underground music. Their first album as Elekrons seeks to reinvent themselves and attempt to shake up the dance scene by bringing their underground sound to the mainstream. In doing so, they’ve attempted to draw from the likes of Massive Attack, Basement Jaxx and Jurassic 5 to create a diverse collection of dance tracks that cater for a wide number of tastes. Much like Groove Armada’s Soundboy Rock album earlier this year, Red Light, Don’t Stop thrives by keeping the mix eclectic. If one track doesn’t wash, then you can all but guarantee another one will have you up and dancing. It’s a melting pot that incorporates the finest contemporary British sounds, from East End grime MCs to Northern Soul sulphuric soul and futuristic disco, albeit with rare groove and acid house thrown in.
