Life Of Crime – Rotterdam Electronix 18

CT Kidobo has already earned some deserving stamps from Bordello A Parigi and The Hacker and Gesaffelstein’s ZONE label, which should tell you exactly where this Hungarian producer’s head is at before a note even plays. Now on Rotterdam Electronix, ‘Radioactivite’ opens the Life of Crime EP in appropriately Gallic terrain and not afraid to pull on French electro lineage. The four tracks are functional, focused but fizz with personality.’L’Illusionista» and the title track maintain the pressurised rhythmic ascent of the opener before ‘Designer’ closes things out with the same cold precision that runs through the whole record. A serious label debut.
