Random Factor

Carl Finlow has been turning out killer electro since forever and is the man behind the revered Random Factor alias. He started it back in 1994 and it has given rise to four full lengths on 20/20 Vision, with a new one on the way right about now, some 15 years after his last. As well as that, the master of his machines has also served up a new EP featuring four fresh cuts that are as good as anything he's made. The cuts draw on electro-pop and lithe future disco a la Metro Area, from the sparkly 80s-vibed opener 'Old News', 'Richochet' - imagine dub techno rerouted through guitar-led funk - to the imore heads down, deep and moody dancefloor delight 'Update' and the indelible melodies of closer 'Swing'.
