Playgroup - Playgroup

Review by Gerry Downing

The Playgroup album is a masterpiece of electronic music, blending various genres and styles to create an eclectic and dynamic sound. The album is the brainchild of Trevor Jackson, a British DJ, and producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in music. Playgroup features a range of guest artists, including Kathleen Hanna, Edwyn Collins, and Peaches, who add their unique voices and perspectives to the mix.

The album starts with a bang, with the upbeat and funky "Number One," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the listener is taken on a journey through a variety of musical styles, from the disco-infused "Front 2 Back" to the punk-inspired "Bring It On." The album also includes some more experimental tracks, such as the ambient "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" and the hypnotic "Influence."

Throughout the album, Jackson's production skills shine, creating a cohesive and polished sound that never feels overproduced. The guest artists also add a lot to the album, bringing their own unique styles and personalities to each track. Kathleen Hanna's fierce vocals on "Make It Happen" and Peaches' cheeky lyrics on "Non-Stop" are particular highlights.
