MEGATRONIC レコード& CD

Review: Freerange's City To City series returns with its second edition, this time spotlighting Lisbon. Known for its stunning views, beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, perhaps one of the city's best-known hotspots is the iconic Lux Fragile, which has shaped the city's sound since the late 90s. Longtime resident DJs from Lisbon are now gaining global traction; to butterfly-net the essence of the coastal metropolis, this new mix LP hears six original tracks from local talents, chief among whom are Megatronic, progressor and ambassador for the city, and Yen Sung & Photonz, two names closely tied to the circuit's deeper-underground corners.A

Review:  UK-born, Lisbon-based Megatronic has been deep in the scene for more than 20 years as a DJ, producer and activist. She now joins an equally important label in Razor N Tape with a bold EP, 'Do I Belong To You'. 'The World' opens with soulful and melancholic vocals by Stavros and a louche, journeying groove that is steeped in cosmic edgy thanks to the subtle pad work. 'Nuffin But LUV' has a more dusty US garage feel, and the Jimpster remix of 'Been Thinkin' gets as deep as you would expect. 'The World' (feat Stavros - Kiko Navarro remix) is a more tense and dense percussive tech sound and adds a different edge to this fine EP.
