Perhaps because he's from Belgium Dr Lektroluv remains less internationally recognised than his electro-peer pioneers DJ Hell or Larry Tee, though judging by Volume 5 of his ongoing electro-disco compilation, it can only be a matter of time before that changes.
Sitting sweetly between Hell's techno roots and Tee's vocal pop take on electro, the good Dr occupies the middle ground between the two, seamlessly mixing italo-disco and electro house from the late 70s to the present. Vocoder vocals, electro analogue synth lines and metronone hi hats permeate an accessible, listenable set that works as well on small speakers as it does pounded out on a system.
Standout moments amongst what's a strong selection (certainly compared to previous Lektroluv comps) include John Aquaviva's acid-ed up mix of Fad Gadget's seminal early 80s anthem Lady Shave, I-Lite's STR With Tim Tycoon and David Caretta's Vicious Game.
Lektroluv 5 is out on June 21 on 541.
