Stoned Pilot Vinyl & CDs

Review: Shonky & Alexander Skancke team up for the third release on the Berlin based label Stoned Pilot ran by Shonky. 'The Answer' is an excellent late-night jam that is seductive and sexy. So, too is 'XXX' adding some great Chicago style claps with a great vox sample in "Get on up!". If you like Adonis's 'No Way Back' then you are sure to like that one(who doesn't?!'. For the second side the title track is a more eerie romp into the unknown wild. This track is magnetic! Closing out the EP is '2019' that almost sounds like something that should have been on Metroplex in 1985. Robot-funk of the upmost! This EP is some serious business. We can see this rocking some serious dancefloors with ease.

Review: Stoned Pilot is the Berlin label founded and operated by Shonky, who appears here alongside fellow left-of-centre techno producer Robin Ordell on this somewhat weightless but still raw haze-house EP, in true lo-fine style. 'Born On The Same Day Vol. 1' suggests the first in a series, and indicates that both artists share a birthday; 'State Of Solina' brings glassy dream-pads, while 'Rabbit Hole' incurs the sense of self-loss in a technical dream-state, and 'PPG Disorder' goes full on wacky sound design and UR-style ad-libs.
