Michel Amato has weathered more than a few rises and falls of electro, not least alongside Miss Kittin during the heady years of electroclash. At all times his sound has stayed true to a focus on dark side dystopia, and that comes through in abundance on this new drop for Dutch label Mindri. The vibe is edgy and unsettled, but of course it also slams where it counts too, with 'Forgotten Technology' in particular primed to do some serious damage in the dance. It's not all peak time prowess though - 'Alexia' is a captivating cruise through moodier realms which at times call to mind The Other People Place and 'The City Of The Dead' delights in its devilish, slow-creeping analogue perfection.
