younger rebinds: retro7

Younger Rebinds is a new project and imaginary band by the inimitable and unstoppable Benny Rodrigues. Maybe best-known for his Rod moniker and releases on Klockworks, Rodrigues embodies and keeps the candor, spirit, and curiosity that made techno music stand out in its start-up years -- and that's exactly what's on Retro7 EP. Retro7 EP makes the most of the classic 707 drum machine, gnarly synths, ambient soundscapes, pianos, and organs; Done in a way that is as much new wave, as it is electronic disco. Spread out over a double-pack with eight tracks, the Younger Rebinds hit the sweet spot between vintage DJ Hell aesthetics, Sterac electronics, and Trevor Jackson's "Metal Dance" dogma, if its choir were muted. Loud pressing and hypnotic artwork included -- Please don't look at it for more than five minutes.
