Voice Stealer

Tone of voice Stealer is among the many bylines utilized by eclectic dance music manufacturer Carl A. Finlow, whose slick, advanced fusions of a variety of dance music designs have made an appearance variously in the Soma, 20:20 Eyesight, Subvert, Klang, Phono, and SSR brands. Following in the heals of vibrant, bouncy hybrids of electro and brand-new wave such as for example Le Car’s “Auto” and I-F’s “Space Invaders Are Smoking cigarettes Lawn,” Finlow’s 1998 debut as Tone of voice Stealer, The All-Electric Home, was one of the most interesting, well-crafted album-length amalgams of these styles to seem. Fusing fresh wave’s and electro’s two most powerful attributes — awesome, detached melodic and vocal accompaniment and slim, rubbery drumbox funk — The All-Electric Home escaped cliche partly from the novelty of its mixture, and partly because Finlow was the main one doing the merging. Although a lot of his function to date offers clustered around regular, breakbeat, and intensifying home — he helped type the favorite underground label 20:20 Eyesight, has released information through 20:20 as Random Element and Urban Farmers, and may be the imprint’s in-house maker — the fastest developing section of Finlow’s single discography is usually in the vein of his Tone of voice Stealer materials, and contains collaborative produces with Ralph Lawson (the “Droid Funk” EP) and Daz Quayle (beneath the name Scarletron, mainly for Electron Sectors), along with the four-track Il.ek.tro EP, released under his own name by Klang Elektronik in mid-1998.
