Tom Carruthers / Byron The Aquarius / Blue Mondays / CNVX

Volume two of Jesus Loves Skylax (allegedly) arrives as a compilation with four tracks all bound by devotion to a higher force, rather than just by genre. The jazzy key man Byron The Aquarius opens with dusty, looping magic that is the sound of Detroit's soul at its most confessional. Tom Carruthers answers with something starker - Cabaret Voltaire's industrial bones rebuilt for the modern club floor and it's all tension and decoration. The flip belongs to Blue Mondays' Ron Hardy tribute, a dense fever-dream where disco liquefies into house. CNVX closing on pure acid electricity makes this a seriously impactful EP.
