Our good friend James over at Fabric hooked us up with this exclusive Shadow Dancer piece. Hailing from Manchester and made up of two brothers, Al and Paul Farrier aka Shadow Dancer were discovered by Boys Noize label boss Kid Alex and cited to be the next big thing in today’s “electro” movement. Influenced early on by the likes of Warp Records, Detroit Techno, and Chicago house, these two remain as humble as can be declaring their releases to date as “happy little accidents”. So download this exclusive bit and catch their upcoming Los Angeles debut at Hard 13 on March 13th at The Shrine with Erol Alkan, Diplo, Boys Noize, LA Riots, Boy 8-bit, Destructo, and D.I.M. The last show sold out with 15,000 people so get your tickets now, they are only allowing 4,000 for this show.

Shadow Dancer are creators of convulsive, beat-propelled electro-synth psychosis that has long-since left a combustible trail of sweat, sex and dancefloor euphoria snaking through clubs across the globe.
Approached by Boysnoize Records to release what became the Shadow Dancer EP in July 2007, they found their audience rapidly expanding thanks to the symphonic beats of club hits like ‘Soap’ and ‘Cowbois’ regularly appearing in the sets of such luminaries as Soulwax, Erol Alkan, 2 Many DJs, DJ Feadz, Adam Freeland and Busy P – Shadow Dancer had emerged as a name to drop and a force to be reckoned with. They have subsequently remixed everyone from The Whip to Chromeo, and their tracks have featured on compilations including Bugged Out’s Suck My Deck, Digitalism’s Kitsune Tabloid, and Adam Freeland’s Two Hours To Jupiter.
Golden Traxe collects thirteen brain-scrambling, pupil-widening assaults on the senses onto one enviably constructed LP. ‘Drive Time’ re-imagines the possibilities of electronic music. Tracks like ‘Soap’ and ‘Poke’ come alive with hypnotic beats destined to alter the chemistry of anyone within earshot, while ‘Infinite Lies’ and ‘The Bad Thing’ evoke orgiastic speaker-stack cacophonies that will tame even the most jaded of club-land hedonists. Golden Traxe bristles with an uninhibited love of life on the dancefloor, a wildly varied exercise in transcendent techno titillation and soul-bruisingly acute house throbs.
