Irish electro fiend Matt Flanagan’s Defekt hits up the second hour of the show. Celebrating his début album Stimulus. It’s awesome from start to finish. But don’t just take our word for it. He’s been gathering support from the likes of Dexorcist, Dave Clarke, Keith Tucker (Aux88) – with the album being dubbed “a future classic” by the mighty Scape One. It really is something else. If you like the cold electro bump of artists like Silicon Scally and early Anthony Rother you’re going to lap this up.

Flanagan has put together a Serato based set composed of his own tracks, as DeFeKT, ESS (Electronic Speech Systems) and L-System (a collaborative project with Ken Hearte aka Grizzle). Utilizing heavy use of modular synthesis throughout, DeFeKT production ability is accomplished, deep, and sharp. His work as ESS and L-system are recorded as live jams.

The LP is out now on the Ireland’s Takeover Recordings with an accompanying limited 12″ featuring four of the most essential cuts from the album. His rather fine remix of Rogue Frequency’s Forgotten Secrets from the Dark Technologies EP (also on Takeover Recordings) is out now. And, with a further DeFeKT track on Exzakt’s Electro Endeavour mix/compilation LP on Bass Frequency Productions, DeFeKT is a name that is going to remain synonymous with superbly produced electro for some time to come.

You can drop an order for the 12″ direct with the Takeover Recordings crew.
