02

Luke ‘Wagon Christ’ Vibert is a man of many talents and guises: in the same week as 02, his second electronic disco album, hits the shelves, he’s also releasing a drum’n’bass collection. It means that invariably one of the works will be overlooked, and to these ears Kerrier District has to take precedence. Originally a homage to Metro Area, this project has outgrown its raison d’etre and makes even Geist and Dersani’s work sound cold and soulless. Spread over six tracks, the warm, bubbling basslines, seductive melodies and underlying sense of alienation make ‘02’ a cornerstone release in the nouveau disco canon.
