Cabin Pressure EP – No Static/Automatic 13

A four headed electro beast from Norwich’s Luke Sanger, more normally associated with sparkling techno productions, but proving here that’s he’s more than capable of transferring both his love of a characterful, quirky sonic and his instinct for filling dancefloors to this minor diversion of sorts. The title track opens proceedings with some wonderful elastic bassline behaviour and sturdy drum machinations, while ‘Spambot’ – a late contender for the best named electro track of 2025 – goes for a blizzard of different tones held together by a rock solid snare. Flip it over for more electronics on the verge of a nervous breakdown via ‘Crunchy Data’ and the EP’s most boisterous and thumping moment, ‘Data Infection’. So much electro these days apes what came before it, whether that be Kraftwerk, Mantronix or Drexciya. This, on the other hand, is nothing like anything else you ever heard, and all the more thrilling as a result.
