January: 8 electro releases you need to hear this month

Marcel Lune 'Jet Lii' EP (Studio Rockers)

Hotly tipped UK producer Marcel Lune first made a name for himself back in 2013, when he appeared on our radar with his excitable ‘Intergalactic Dance Floor Massacre’ EP on Studio Rockers. He’s back, now, on the same imprint, but boasting a new sound that’s part-jazz, part-house and part-grandiose electro. The title track is all clever karate chops, jazzy motifs and some jacking percussion, while on the flip, ‘Equations’ is more of an aquatic-sounding cut due to an arp’d bassline that dances across the mix before it’s paired up with a shuffling top-line. The real electro meat, though, comes in the form of the fidgety melodies that imbue the track with an Oizo-style feel.
