Sensational debut alert! What 20 year old Milton Jackson (real name: Barry Christie from Edinburgh) has done with his debut is nothing short of miraculous. The Bionic Boy, a collection of 11 house tracks, sounds like the work of a veteran producer. So effortlessly funky and filled with lovely details in the production it can easily stand comparisons with Moodymann and Carl Craig?s more floor friendly tracks. The astronaut on the album cover does point the way to the sound within: spacious house music that changes in style throughout the duration of the album but without ever sounding forced. Occasionally voices are used but Milton Jackson either uses cool whispered chants (In The Mood) or dubs them into shards of badly received transmissions of cosmonauts suffering from space fever (Beat My Beat). The musical styles change fast (sometimes within tracks) from banging electro on Shock Me All Nite to the longing E-anthem I See You. The second half of the album is segued in a continuous way to give it something of a proper context of the DJ-mix. Therein you?ll find the highlight of the album Dimensional, a nice roller in the tradition of Paperclip People, creates a trance and then the sustained strings hit you to maximal effect. Total tune. The Bionic Boy blows a fresh breeze through house music and together with the Akufen album will battle for the title of debut of the year. The future of dance is in save hands.
