The Unabombers (Electric Chair - Manchester) – aka Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford – are back with a new live project that delivers a chart-topping slice of phatness, featuring numerous vocalists, that create a dirty basement feeling that unleashes another side of their electric souls.
You can only expect the freshest, most dynamic, confident and sexy sounds from these guys; delivering an upbeat, down and dirty, melting pot that incorporates the finest contemporary British sounds, from East End grime MCs to Northern sulphuric soul and futuristic disco, but informed by the great traditions of Britain’s underground club culture over the last 30 years, from rare groove to acid house.
In recent years, The Unabombers have rocked basements and lofts across the world, from the West Coast of America to Thailand, produced a mighty run of compilation albums, and critically acclaimed re-edits and remixes as Electric Souls. They also began to tour as the Electric Souls Soundsystem, featuring fresh new British vocalists like Pete Simpson, at clubs and festivals like V. “We were almost shocked at the response to the soundsystem’ laughs Luke, “everyone was like ‘You’ve really got something here, you’ve got to get in the studio and capture it.’”
“The Unabombers are rooted in that underground basement sound,” furthers Luke, “but the Elektrons is more a collage of every sound we’re into. It’s still rooted in Black music, but it’s more quintessentially British and reflects that we’re really against that snobbery in the underground towards R&B or two-step or garage. We’re not afraid to throw all those into the pot, so a lot of the tracks on the album have an oddball fusion of all those styles.”
Leave the red light on darling.
