As if we weren’t treated to enough filthy electro from Brazil, there’s another band on the scene. The sexually charged stupidly good-looking boy/girl duo from Sao Paulo "Telepathique". Mylene provides vocals whilst producer and DJ Erico Theobaldo (also known as DJ Periferico) uses his unquestionable talent to arrange the drums, turntables and programming.

Love & Lust, title track, does not live up to what I expected. The groove-step alternative-electro pop-dance beats provide a base of dance-able rhythm HOWEVER the lyrics and vocals just don’t do much for the record, they're dull. Imagine Soulwax being fronted by Fearne Cotton and you’ll get the picture.

At the other end of the spectrum we have the other tracks on the EP. The second is called “Eu Gosto”, a Ladytron- meets- Soulwax- meets- the- hot- girl- on- the- bus homage to the electro-dance circuit. Reverb treated vocals, slightly muffled behind clanging guitar strings and charged synthesizers create a sexier and much more moveable song.

Déjà vu, track number 3, is the best track on the EP. Mylene’s vocals stick out like a sore thumb as she tells you to “open your mind”. The beats are dirty, the synths are filthy and the record develops into any electro-heads dream. The “Hot Tape” remix makes Déjà Vu even more desirable. Treating it with trance bass’n’beats makes it something that would happily fit in a DJ set at any reputable warehouse rave or club.

There really is no denying it, if you have a love for danceable beats and sexual synths Telepathique are the new band to keep an eye on.
