Master remixers Filthy Dukes work their magic on their own album Nonsense In The Dark
The scum royalty answer a cry from fans to put their musical skills to practice and release debut album Nonsense In The Dark this month.
Having previously remixed tracks for the likes of Maccabees and Bloc Party; superstar DJs in their own right, Filthy Dukes decided to put their talents to good use by releasing an album, following the success of single Tupac Robot Club.
The album opens with This Rhythm, which is trademark electro-scuzz, dirty beats and hard 80s inspired synth. As expected, it's insanely danceable and achingly cool. Vocals supplied by Samuel Dust of Late of The Pier fame add to its edgy sound. It’s clear to see why this is the next single, out on March 9.
What Happens Next is a high-octane track which transports you to a land of sparkling leggings, dry ice machines, crimped hair and funky eye shadow. The chorus of chanting children soar, echoing Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. This ticks all the boxes to be the Dukes first commercial hit.
Tupac Robot Club, is an uplifting track that utilises melodic rapping with fantastic discoelectro, which beautifully fuses two genres that are poles apart in sound and style.
Track Cul de Sac made me feel like I was trapped in a computer game being chased by zombies before accidentally running into said cul de sac and having my brains eaten. Similarly with You Better Stop is what happens when a synth jumps into a skip full of MDMA powder.
This album is a huge slab of electro produced to perfection; as the bastard child of Kraftwerk and Eurythmics. It would leave Vince Noir foaming at the mouth and begging for mercy, as it pounds its way through thirteen tracks of blistering beats and ravaging rhythms. Be prepared when listening to this album, it will mess with your mind.
