DJ STINGRAY 313 - F.T.N.W.O

Originally released in 2012, DJ Stingray 313's first and only album gets a complete and utter do-over, with a new album cover and label to boot. For an album released nearly 10 years ago, this bit is remarkably ahead of its time, and arguably better than what most heads agree electro should sound like in 2022. Soft, sinister and scratchy, 'F.T.N.W.O.' emerges and slowly outwards from conspiratorial talk of a "new world order" on the first track. All this comes before 'Dark Arts', 'Denial Of Service' and 'Image Search' prove to be the best examples Stingray's watery, smoked-out approach, working in electro's faster trajectories. One of the best dance albums of the 2010s, this is electro as malleable, with Stingray hinting at dark futures, vast conspiracies, and lost minds throughout.
