DESCRIPTION:
ReIssue of classic deep tech 4 track groover
Carl Finlow has been turning out killer electro since forever and is the man behind the revered Random Factor alias. He started it back in 1994 and since he's brought us four full lengths on 20/20 Vision, with a new one dropping very soon. In the meantime, here's a reissue of one of his most in demand classic EPs that's back on wax after initially making waves way back in 2000. The cuts draw on electro-pop and lithe future disco a la Metro Area, from the sparkly 80s-vibed opener 'Old News', 'Richochet' - imagine dub techno rerouted through guitar-led funk - to the more heads down, deep and moody dancefloor delight 'Update' and the indelible melodies of closer 'Swing'. Timeless machine funk from one of its latter day masters.

Random Factor
Carl Finlow records as Random Factor exclusively for 2020Vsion. He was one of the original visionarys who set up the label and now continues to grace the label with his amazing music from his new base in Paris.
He has also achieved global recognition for producing under his other pseudonyms: Silicon Scally, Voicestealer, IL-EC-TRO, Circle City, and simply Carl A Finlow. Under these guises he has released music on the finest electronic labels in the world: Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Klang, Soma, Pagan, Minifunk and Scsi. He also combined with Ralph Lawson on all the 2020Vision remixes, including the now classic Blaze mixes and productions for Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, Blaze, Swag, Jori Hulkonnen, Felix da Housecat, Swayzak, Josh Wink, Luke Slater, and Superman Lovers. All in all, through a decade of pioneering work in electronic music he has gained the respect of the most highly esteemed musicians in the world, including: Radiohead, Herbert, Richie Hawtin, Francois Kevorkian, Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, Josh Wink and Luke Slater. Maybe it is the fact that Carl is more influenced by classic artists rather than contemporary that he sets his standards so high. He cites Tomita, The White Noise, Yello, Prince, and Depeche Mode before going further back in time to experimental godfathers Stockhausen, Varese and Raymond Scott as his source of inspiration.
Carl has developed a superb live set using the latest software technology (Ableton Live 3 and Traktor) to takes his sounds on the road as Random Factor or Silicon Scally. He has performed at the most important festivals and clubs across the globe including: La Villette with Kraftwerk (Paris 02), Sonar (Barcelona 2K), Safety In Numbers (NYC), Fabric (London), Sub Club (Glasgow), Batofar (Paris), WMF (Berlin), Womb (Tokyo), and Storm The CPU (LA). He has also toured Japan, The States three times and Europe extensively. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
