300 Degrees – Talking Machines EP
March 13th, 2010
Not content with his recently unexpected 3-in-1 album release on Lithuanian label Sutemos and a barrage of releases on other labels, IJO makes a welcome debut at Cactus Island under guise of 300 Degrees.
Audrius Vaitiekunas 300 Degrees project focuses on the deep, snappy machine-driven rhythms, squelchy 303 riffs and acid basslines of early Detroit Techno and Acid House. Using the original machines that moulded the revolution in electronic music Audrius takes us on a full-on nostalgia trip, drawing influence
from the likes of Transmat, Network Records, early Aphex, WARP Records or any other decent Acid House and Detroit Techno classics you care to remember.
Recently Audrius received high praise from Mary Ann Hobbs on her Radio 1 show for his diverse, infectious styles of production, evidence of which you can find here in blissful abundance. ‘Talking Machines’ will take you back….into the future.
