It’s time you did your homework, son. Timed with the release of their brand new LP, The Capsule, Necro Deathmort have provided this sick mix for The Vinyl Factory which traces a broken line through the history of electro, which they describe as “in many ways…the purest form of electronic music: it’s uncompromisingly hard-edged and laser-focussed on the future, and yet you can dance to it.” Sounds alright by us, and that tracklist ain’t bad either!
