Top 20 electronic music albums of 2022: Elektro Guzzi – Triangle

My album countdown continues, and it's all getting a bit noisy. *bangs ceiling with a broom handle*

See the full countdown here.

Elektro Guzzi: Triangle (Palazzo Recordings)

Electronic Sound: “The three points of this ‘Triangle’ are energy, energy, energy. The Vienna outfit’s ninth album brings us jackhammer beats humming with electric bass... Even as the rhythms splinter into shredded half-beats towards the end, this acoustic techno is angry. Soma in a sulk. Berghain with a beef.” 

My magazine review made this sound like a right miserable album, but there’s definitely a cheeky glint to the production. The perky hi-hats, the cheerfully buzzy synths, the sheer gasping strength of it all. The speed of Okra would be happy house if it wasn’t for all the, y’know, apocalyptic sounds. 

This would be the fiercest, fieriest album featured in the Top 20, if I hadn’t just written up the DJ Travella album.
