'Broken Circuit' is the meeting of minds between Max Wheeler and Victoria Port AKA Anushka. The results are one of the most enjoyable, unpretentious hybrid dance soul records you'll hear all year. The duo have put together an emotionally satisfying electronic music album, with Max's slinky beats animated by Victoria's heartbreak, disillusionment, frustrations, sweetness and longing.
After spending 12 tracks with Anushka, you feel you have travelled these post-recessionary times with. Working together they hit a creative sweet spot - with Victoria, a singer who has featured on various drum & bass tunes as well as developing her live performances, and Max, whose day job is teaching young offenders how to use music production software. And the
songs kept flowing out.
The results owe a debt to Moodyman's de-constructed funk, garage's skipping 2 step, and Talkin' Loud's jazzy-inflections. Stripped-back tracks like 'Kisses' sound like 2014 trap-pop like Lorde. While 'Mansions' packs an outspoken punch about inequality. Break-up ballad 'This Time' is achingly honest and open. 'Echo' is sweet like chocolate UK garage. The beautiful
phrasing of Victoria's voice pulls the whole piece together, running through Max's expert playful blending of ideas from the spectrum of 2014's club floor feels.
The results are a multi-coloured rush of sweet soulful pop music. Its pull deepens with every listen.
