Since 2005, Kris Menace has been known for his releases and collaborations with Fred Falke, Felix Da Housecat, Rex the Dog, Aeroplane, DJ Pierre, Alan Braxe and many more. As a remixer, he teamed up with Depeche Mode, Robbie Williams, LCD Soundsystem, Kylie Minogue, Booka Shade and many others. He has also worked on several side projects such as "Black Van" (DFA / Permanent Vacation) or "Stars on 33" (Eskimo). ‘Electric Horizon’ should consolidate Kris as a musical pioneer and one of the founding fathers of the exciting Nu-Disco sound. This album takes that sound to a whole new level, layering melancholy, melody and hooks. Kris is known for his unique touch production wise and often chooses to focus on the music in its purest form, therefore ‘Electric Horizon’ is fully instrumental. The first single of the album, ‘Falling Star’ was released on March 5th and Kris landed a huge coup for the video with his collaboration with legendary London based duo "Hexstatic" (Ninja Tunes). Check the album trailer below. Out 23rd April.
