The Guide EP is dedicated to BBC Radio 4's 1978 adaptation of Douglas Adams's the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Stu Robinson aka Asok has amassed a fine understanding of D&B, electro-funk, disco, house, and techno. He has released on Use of Weapons, M O S Recordings, Lobster Theremin, and Mule Musiq, and co-founded his own Scenery imprint. His tracks here, clearly marked by a dark influence, are fueled by analog feelings that come across with a crunchy, distorted, and saturated soul. Barcelona-based Baldo's drum clusters add a melancholic vibe to his variety of layers and samples, supplying seriously infectious rhythms.
