Despite operating around the fringes of Chicago's electronic music scene for 15 years - and releasing a whole heap of genuinely impressive, forward-thinking records - this is the first official mix album from the Mathematics camp. Fellow Chicagoan Daryl Cura is the man at the controls, laying down a one-take vinyl-only mix that touches on many of Mathematics disparate themes. So, over the course of a spellbinding hour we get piano-laden downtempo beats (Bocca Grande), future space-disco (Les Aeroplanes), Metro Area on smack (Audio Atlas), touchy-feely techno (Alessandro Izzo, Marcelo Napoletano), sprightly synthscapes (Vagon Brei), far-sighted floor fillers (John Heckle) and indispensible tech-jazz (Gentl3man).
