Vigilante Logic EP (2020 Remaster)

A 4 track techno ep (30m 42s) — released May 15th 2020 on Phoq U Phonogrammen

This material is all composed in 1994, one of the most productive years from Arno Peeters aka. Sp@sms, following releases like the concept album Fuzzy Logic (CD) and the double Re-Volt EP, both released on Djax-Up-Beats in 1995.
The Vigilante Logic EP is a rather hybrid work, featuring both acid and techno, electro and industrial-style mixes.

The experimental acid of Sloppy Slappin' and Comfortably Numb, that sounds a bit like Electronic Body Music on steroids, were originally meant for the Re-Volt EP, but didn't make it and became shelfware, which to both Arno and U-TRAX label boss DJ White Delight was a waste.
Hollywood Holdup Force is strongly influenced by the 1983 track "Al Naafiysh" (The Soul) by Hashim, what Arno still considers to be one of the foundations of electro. He tried to give it a more sinister and industrial feel, but still it has more the feel of electro than techno. It would precede the style he later expanded with Frank de Groodt (aka. Sonar Base/Pieces of a Pensive State of Mind) as Urban Electro.
Something similar can be said of Vigilante Volts, which is not straight-up techno, rather a mixture of dubby elements, spiced with analogue squeaks and embedded in an industrial layer.

Original release date: December 1996.
Re-mastered for download and streaming.
