Dublin’s electronic music scene has tended towards a sharp division between chin-stroking laptop noodlery and full-on cheddar cheese (Mark McCabe’s Maniac, or that hideous happy house album of tunes like Fields of Athenry) spring to mind.

Hystereo deserve a clap on the back for their attempt at a French-style electro house album. The masked shadows of Daft Punk might fall a tad too heavily on their debut album, Corporate Crimewave, but there’s still plenty to like.

Here’s the album opener, a real slow burner that I used on a Champions League promo for RTE. Is that interesting? Perhaps not.
