Kenny Glasgow - Transformation

Electronic music heavyweight Kenny Glasgow is back with his much anticpated new solo album entitled Circus Tales. Due for release on Jonny Whites agenda setting No.19 Music, it is a long overdue and hugely welcome follow up to 2009s Taste of the Low Life which appeared on the same label.

Before touring the world, releasing albums and appearing on magazine covers as influential duo Art Department with White, Glasgow was a key player in his native Canada as a DJ, producer and promoter, helping foment the local scene with his own key parties and DJ sets. His vocal work and production style is always truly unique, often featuring haunting sounds and desolate urban vibes that sound like no one else.

Right from the off, Glasgows dehumanised style is on full display. Robot vocals and rugged grooves are embellished with creepy melodies and unhinged synths. After that arresting opener, Come On keeps up the pressure with prying bass and slick drums, and Response From Mars gets dark and freaky with wonky chords, minimal drum programming and metallic textures that are industrial and inviting.

Trying something fresh with each new track, the album switches up the moods and grooves with ease and style, and floor slaying cuts like Pro-to-Type and the melodically expansive Everything is Breath prove that with aplomb. Communication Meltdown proves Glasgow can play truly musical chords as well as programme drums to make dancers go wild, and the final trio of tracks get truly heady and hypnotic for the most discerning back rooms out there.

This is a complete sound world from Glasgow that features a coherent and cohesive set of dance floor tracks. The whole thing is a masterful piece of forward facing work that will surely
set the world alight this summer.

In advance of the full digital album release there will be a limited vinyl album sampler.
