The Unabombers – aka Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford – are about to unleash another side of their electric souls with their debut album as Elektrons. Red Light, Don't Stop is the freshest, most dynamic, confident and sexy British dance record you'll hear this year.

It's upbeat. It's down and dirty. It's a melting pot that incorporates the finest contemporary British sounds, from East End grime MCs to Northern sulphuric soul and futuristic disco, but informed by the great traditions of Britain's underground club culture over the last 30 years, from rare groove to acid house. It also marks the arrival of a new British dance collective rooted in the basement clubs of Northern England, but following in the tradition of Soul II Soul, the Wild Bunch and Bugz in the Attic.

The Elektrons first surfaced with last year's 'Get Up EP', which was only supposed to be a low-key sampler, but due to word of mouth became Piccadilly Records (MusicWeek's Independent Store of the Year 2006) biggest selling 12" of the year. "The reaction was amazing," says Luke, "and that really gave us the confidence to be bold with the album."
