 DatA is awesome. No really, don’t question it. He. Is. Awesome. How do I know this? Because he told me. See for yourself: A looming visage of his namesake, lingering in the sky, a foretelling of the second coming over a city eagerly awaiting his brand of electronic revolution. And even if you tired to escape the-awesomeness-that-is, you probably couldn’t – I mean think about it: riding on the second wave of French electro along with pioneers Justice, DatA brings his own blend of funk, house, disco and all out boogie to a scene that has been itching for The Skywriter’s release ever since Trop Lazer EP dropped in ’06, and reached fever pitch with his unstoppable remix of Tepr’s "Minuit Jacuzzi" in ’07 which dominated dance floors around the world. With all this going for it, on the surface, The Skywriter would seem to be a black hole of inescapable awesome/coolness. DatA is awesome. Right?
Well, to be honest, it’s mostly true – The Skywriter is undoubtedly the hippest electronic flavor on the market right now and there are plenty of reasons for it. Drawing from Justice’s pathbreaking Cross that introduced the universe to post-Daft Punk world of heavy electronic romps of dirty goodness, DatA have taken the template and smoothed it over with a heavy injection of disco-revival gloss, cutting the glitchy fat and focusing instead on creating space themed smooth groove and bedroom funk. From the dark, Dracula-film inspired organ synths of “Verdict” to the slow burning, hard hitting electro-fuzz of “Blood Theme”. The Skywriter boasts a host of rollicking tracks that positively demand booty shaking with every punchy beat and warbling synth line. Towering over the length of the album and dripping in dancefloor energy lies the likes of “Nightmare” which lives up to its namesake by offering a jagged piece of body convulsing brutality that would satisfy the most hardened of dancefloor connoisseurs, while in the corner, it’s cousin track “Aerius Light” blazes its own trail of epic intensity....full text |

Welcome to 'Skywriter', DatA's debut full length album. Often when you come down from a leak induced high (composed of an artist you love + obtaining hard to find goods), you meet the crash (several hours later) of realizing that the album is only so-so.
Either I haven't given the Skywriter a proper chance, or I jump too quickly to the next, newest artist. Either way, its not a good sign when you have to remind yourself to go back to a cd....full text |

| Sick album art as ever Well DatA 's first album has been long-awaited ever since his debut 'Trop Laser' EP all the way back in 2006. Since then he's released another 3 EPs and in fact 4 of the album's 11 tracks can actually be found on those EPs. On the whole I like the album a lot, its one of my favourites of the year so far at least, possibly through lack of competition though. Anyhow, the review: 'Verdict' is the album's opener and [...]...full text |
