Stephen Lopkin : Frantic EP [UrbanTorque]

Stephen Lopkin: Frantic EP

1. �Monkey Tennis�
2. �Frantic�
3. �Ailsa Craig�

The �Frantic EP� boasts three fantastically off-kilter tracks by promising new producer Stephen Lopkin. Stephen first came to our attention via an inventive demo CD in the post (do you remember those?). A few years later and with an album�s worth of refined innovative and eccentric productions we�re excited about Stephen�s first release. The musical maverick shows his versatility taking in the deep, chaotic and melancholic with equal panache._

1. �Monkey Tennis� � You could buy this for the name alone, but fortunately the track matches the genius of its title. It�s an almost inanely feel-good and decadently deep jesting jaunt full of pleasure._
2. �Frantic� � Abrasive, jilted, bleepy techno that clashes and rasps at a brilliantly deranged pace._
3. �Ailsa Craig� � An electronic lament, tautly melancholic and sombre._

Stephen Lopkin has previously remixed Justin Chodzko�s �Delta Sun� and Corrugated Tunnel�s �2nd Thoughts� both on Urbantorque. The �Frantic EP� is his first solo release._
