Random Factor - On The Air EP [20/20 Vision]

Random Factor's 'On The Air' EP is a classic much sought after by connoisseurs. It was released on Ralph Lawson's ever-reliable 20/20 Vision label and now, as it turns 25, he has decided the time is right to remaster and re-release it. 'On The Air' is the lead track from this superb EP from Carl Finlow and has serene synths that evoke the soul of Detroit techno over a pulsating bass and slick drums. 'Lockdown' has a raw vocoder vocal over tough drums and edgy synths, and 'Undercurrent' is another weapon that has stood the test of time as it powers forward with funky drums and layered with more playful synth patterns. 'Disconnect' is a crunchy, 8-bit closer with pixelated synths and wriggly acid lines. Excellent.
