Have you seen him/her? Who’s that dude/chick? Is he/she even for reals? A new persona adding his/her mysterious spin to Stil vor Talent’s wide-ranging catalogue of sounds, Andy Anderson may or may not be. Behind the curtain, away from prying stares and unsubstantial hypes, Andy’s character thrives. No marketed back story to be found here, only blazing bars of music from a ghost in production. Dwelling the digital hyper-jungle, our new signing has already earned himself accolades from real-life stage heroes including Solomun. Behind the alias, a non-robotic soul obviously lies – a well-known entity with flesh and bone actuality that is most certain, but we have been pledged not to reveal, so we’ll keep it at that for now.

Andy’s unexpected debut, “System Breach”, is now ready to hack its way into your binary digits-ruled multiverse. Drawing first blood, the title-track itself is a no-frills, electrifying EBM-laced floor-sweeper that shall miss no hit in the ballroom. Bound to maintain maximum pressure on the ravers with its hi-intensity unloading of sub-bass thunder, sizzling synth whorls and heavy-duty, forward-tugging groove, this is body music at its rawest, most effectively smacking. “Mind Frequency” follows a similar route, upping the tempo one notch higher whilst making room for a more spacious buildup and arpeggiated, cosmic-friendly harmonics to expand as bars pull all stops in rapid fire. Ultimate number “In The Sky” caps the release on a playfully ominous, big-room-oriented note. Engineering a mix of dashing Knight Rider vibrations, 8-bit-influenced stabs, neo-classical flights and vocals reminiscent of Massive Attack’s most haunting compositions, this is club music that packs both a serious punch and ultimately vibrant vision altogether. But hey, that doesn’t answer our question: Who is Andy Anderson?
