Emotional Wreck vinyl

Bristol-based producer Marco Bernardi seems to be challenging Ed 'DMX Krew' Upton in the prolific stakes these days with no less than three 12"s surfacing in recent months (with at least two more due to drop in the coming weeks) Here he surfaces on the fledgling but already rather impressive Brokntoys, a London label that emerged in fine style last year with the Mode #7 12" from UK electro stalwart Pip Williams, complemented by the well judged presentation (we do love a printed insert here at Juno HQ). After coaxing some rare Scape One material out of Kurt Baggeley, this Emotional Wreck 12" from Bernardi represents another coup for Brokntoys. From the very off it seems like Bernardi is in the mood to unsettle as he draws from the most unhinged corners of his electro and techno palette. The superbly named "Catman's Going To Get You" is a particular highlight.
