Finland's Willy Baxter is looking to follow up his excellent debut release from last year with some new tracks for 2008. His single Aiming High was put out by Irish label seedyburnR as a double header with H3lix's Supersmashingbrilliant track, which was also remixed by Willy. New tracks have been previewing on his Myspace player over the last couple of months and 2 new EP's have recently been added to last.fm, available to stream in full. Title track Slope started life with a vocal but it's been reworked into an extended instrumental complete with chunky electro-disco beats, a robotic bassline, string stabs and little guitar licks - all at a cool 115bpm. Second track Somewhere Else ups the tempo slightly and adds a poppier angle to the electro-disco feel with some nice vocals over the top. As with all Willy's stuff, both tracks feature loads of great synthesizer work including some lovely chord progressions and plenty of dreamy arpeggio's flying around the place. Fans of Metro Area, Kelley Polar, Professor Genius, Reverso 68, Spirit Catcher etc. should definitely be checking this out.
