October: 8 Electro releases you need to hear this month

Rondell Adams 'Acid Slut' (Ultramajic)

We’re gonna say it: Jimmy Edgar may well be one of the best label A&Rs in the world. It’s a bold assertion, but ever since he started up his Ultramajic label, he’s hand-picked some of the freshest and most exciting artists to release via the imprint. There’s been the wild and stabby tendencies of Chambray, the mysterious house stylings of Aden, the introduction of 23-year-old football star Keeno18 and a whole lot of ‘majic’ from Edgar himself. Now comes another new player; in fact, Rondell Adams is the son of The Jackson 5’s first producer. Of the six tracks on his incredible ‘Threshold To Madness’, ‘Acid Slut’ is the one people will be going crazy for. The name is questionable, but the content isn’t: it’s an all out destroyer with trance-like riffs and plenty of drum fills. It’s utter madness and unashamedly silly.
