DESCRIPTION:
1989 Minimal Techno / Beleep Classic Re-issued -An essential part of early rave history.
Given his deep-rooted love of the original turn-of-the-90s bleep & bass sound, it's no surprise to see Tom Carruthers' Non-Stop Rhythm label reissuing one of the most sought-after cult classics of the period, Tony McNabb aka Exocet's 1989 three-tracker Lethal Weapon - a missive that originally appeared on storied London label CATT Records. McNabb was one of the first London producers to deliver a tweaked southern take on bleep, retaining the deep, warm, sub-heavy bass and propensity for simple looped melodies while also adding warming Larry Heard chords and shuffling house breakbeats (A-side 'Lethal Weapon'). The minimalistic and more intergalactic aspect of bleep comes to the fore on the trippy, electro-influenced 'Sweet Talk', while 'Safety Zone' sounds like something Sheffielders Rob Gordon and Richard H Kirk would have conjured up.

Last FM Information on Exocet
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Exocet was launched in 2008 by the versatile labelfounder/producer/dj René Klimaczewski (aka Klima). He is known to insiders especially for his collaboration with the esteemed Architect. The latter was started by the also prolific Daniel Myer of haujobb. Since both are based in Leipzig (Germany) it was inevitable that their ways crossed. Result was in 2005 the up to now most appreciated Architect work The Analysis of Noise Trading.
Visiting New York in 2007, Klima found inspiration in the late artist Dave Kean - not a musician but full of weird ideas and creativity. Here and then Exocet was conceived. Under this influence Klima produced Violation, released 2008 on ant-zen, well received by the industrial noise crowd.
In 2009 the second effort, a much darker album Grotesque Consumer came to light. Now on his own Klima and his music appeared to be afflicted by the tragic death of his former muse.
