Twin Cities Electropunk Volume 2

Twin Cities Electropunk Volume 2

A worthy successor to Volume 1, TCEV2 features many of the same artists that made the first release such an incredible find plus some new artists that push the number of tracks to 16 as opposed to 10 on the first collection.

The driving force behind these two collections is Todd Millenacker aka Avenpitch, who leads off the compilation with the hyper-tempoed track "Jack The Idiot Dance." The stand out track for me, among the many other great ones, is "Broken Waters" (different mix than compilation track) by Endless Blue, a downtempo/triphop tune that really resonates. Reminiscent of early James, "Planting Flowers" by Tim Rally Gold is a guitar driven track that concentrates more on the punk of electropunk.

Check out track listing for both volumes of Twin Cities Electropunk.
