Dances is a difficult release to describe in promo sheet form. It would be all too easy to get swept up in it's immaculate programming, delicate melodies and genuinely moving harmonies and end up sounding biased - so here are the facts. Programmed and composed by peeR, a.k.a. Pierre Slinckx between December 2008 and April 2009, Dances consists of six pieces covering everything from modal Renaissance music to breakcore via French disco and classic pop, created on two Game Boys running simultaneously (and with a touch of post production for good measure). The end result is a lovingly crafted mini-symphony; then again, what do you expect from a classically trained musical genius who counts Nullsleep and Goto80 as fans?
Note also the impossibly pretty artwork by Alessandra Ghiringhelli.

S18-001 - Firing Speed Rainbows by Steve (January 2009)
1. SPC Beatbox
2. Club For Broken Hearted Robots
3. Manor De Sex
4. Paradise
5. Firing Speed Rainbows
Steve's second EP and the debut release for S18 Records, Firing Speed Rainbows continues from where his debut release for Kittenrock left off - taking the sound of cheap technology from the mid-90s and creating melodic electro with it. SPC Beatbox turns drum sounds from the SNES into a body-popping beat, over which FM synths duel for surpremacy, while Manor De Sex is a sleazy funk machine. The journey ends with the title track, fuelled by majestic synth strings and packed with soaring solos. Essentially, Firing Speed Rainbows is the result of a tantalizing new approach to lo-fi music.
