So where do you start when you are talking about an artist of the calibre and longevity of Eon (aka Ian Loveday)? Well, you could start by saying that his early hits, such as 'Spice', 'Basket case', 'What is music?' were massive anthems, not only for us here at Kracktronik central, but also to just about anyone into dance music in the 90s, with crossover appeal to hardcore ravers, house-heads, breaks buffs, and techno freaks. More recently, his work with Peter 'Baby' Ford has been picked up by DJs across the board, including Richie Hawtin (who included 'Dead Eye' on his infamous 'Decks, EFX + 909' release and 'Transitions' CD/DVD). But this is not the time to bask in past glories (many as they are), but rather to look to the three awesome productions he has pulled out of the bag for Kracktronik's 13th release (unlucky for some, but evidently not for us!). Previously available as part of his download only 'DeVice' album, but here re-edited and remastered specifically for the vinyl release, these are three prime cuts with Eon's distinctive production style stamped all over them. 'Texas flex' is what you might imagine 'White Lines' would sound like if it was written in the future by a smiley-faced robot , with twisting acid bass throbs and a crisp floor-slaying groove. Cut good and loud at 45rpm for a truly mind-bending experience! 'Non doctor' and 'I live!' keep up the pressure on the flip side with swooping delays and eerie strings being the order of the day, alongside Eons' trademark tough electro breaks. A welcome vinyl return for Mr Loveday, and a killer start to 2007 for Kracktronik, promising a year with much to offer? |
