Mandroid “Futurefunk” EP (Dominance Records, DR-031)

After the surprising comeback release of the american 1980s electrofunk legend Newcleus on Dominance Records, the german label is proud to present one of todays top new electro producers out of the United Kingdom: Mandroid, aka Adrian D. Rataj, analog synthesizer collector and former breakdancer with the Defcon 5 crew in Leeds, best known for his previous releases (two albums and several EPs) on the famous Breakin Records, run by Ed DMX (DMX Krew), and on the USA-based label FBI Recordings. His musical background ranges from classic 1970s synth-music like John Carpenter, to 1980s electrofunk (Herbie Hancock, Paul Hardcastle) and electropop (Kraftwerk, Thomas Dolby, Yazoo). After Mandroids first appearance on Dominane Records in the year 2004, with the track “Machine Made” (on the Global Surveyor Phase 2 Various Artist album), he is now back to deliver a hot package of seven new quality electro jams full of funky spacy synth melodies and vocoderized vocals, best to be discribed as a colorfull retro-futuristic visions of things to come. This is electrofunk!
