PC Music's sugary sweet 19-track compilation Month of Mayhem takes new shape as a properly teeth dissolving 2 x LP picture disc edition. Showing truly the breadth and range of the label's crew focused sound, Month of Mayhem features nineteen tracks of elasticated rhythms that twist and stretch vibrant pop music into bold, new shapes.

Bringing in all the usual suspects - Danny L Harle, GFOTY, A. G. Cook plus a host of new names and possibly a fair few undercover operators moving in incognito mode, Month Of Mayhem shows just how open-minded and daringly experimental the PC Music really is.

Traces of a thousand plus teenage musical obsessions - dubstep, emo, trap, goth, trance, bubblegum are all soaked in the PC Music gloss and left to bake in the neon glow. Tracks like 'Distant Promise' by Spinee lock in a super sharp shooter bassline that shoots off more mentasm than a Joey Beltram 12", while its chipmunk vocals are totally glowstick rave. Lil Data steps up with some fractured garage woodblocks and reverb-soaked red light signals on 'Casey Asked Me Am I Angry' which when it starts skipping could be a cut off the first Burial LP before it quickly gets ripped apart by some Haswell modular tones. Meanwhile, the hooligan hardcore of 'Behind the Wall' by Guys Next Door excavates a dub techno pulse with some EVOL style panning to delicious effect.

For anyone who may have skipped Month of Mayhem when it first dropped as a digital-only compilation, we'd strongly urge you to check it pronto. Month of Mayhem is proof that PC Music is pushing some real boundaries within the sound-design, club fodder and the never-ending quest for making first quenching pop music.

PC Music betrays the digital disciples by submitting to the pressures of a very much needed physical format for the collective's two-volume best of compilations, specially pressed as two volumes. Split across the You take the Blue Vinyl - which sees the story begin, two sides of Volume 1 with Extra Data & More and the You take the Red Vinyl - where the story continues, an in-depth exploration of Volume 2 where The Future meets The Past. Marking this the first officially released Personal Computer Music analog storage medium ever presented in a bespoke gatefold cover designed by Timothy Luke.

Some saw these releases as a high-concept response to the disposable age of information; others saw it as a gummy hyper-real universe marking a new dawn of electronica. All purveyors of contemporary music culture have an opinion on the PC Music camp. Now the London-based net-label/collective have surprised all by cookie-cutting the most fawned-over tracks to vinyl.

Whatever your take, it can’t be denied that in an age of constant stylistic regurgitation, the giddy PC Music gang at the height of their prolificness advanced a truly unique musical direction; for instance the angelic vocal-laced pointillism of Hannah Diamond’s ‘Every Night’ or the candy-coated trance of A.G Cook’s ‘Beautiful’, which both eschew every taste convention to the point of actually being pretty catchy. From the frantic vocal pitch shifting on GFOTY’s ‘USA’ to the ultra-cute polyphonic production on Keri Baby by Hannah Diamond and to The Lipgloss Twins, it is a sound like no other.

Needless to say, it has been made in an extremely limited edition run so be quick if you wanna candyflip your Technics 1210's, just remember to brush your teeth after sinking them deep into this...
