One year after Kris Menace's collaborative album Features (COMP 022CD), the incredible maestro of all things electronica returns with quite possibly his most stunning body of work yet -- The Entirety of Matter. Upon first listen, the sheer emotion ploughed into Kris' beautifully-crafted, futuristic synth-scapes is omnipresent. Joining the dots between melancholy and joy to tranquility and agitation, every track oozes with passion, reinforcing Kris' ability to capture raw feelings and make them into beautiful, empathetic musical pieces that tug hard on even the coldest of heart-strings. The Entirety of Matter comprises 12 instrumental tracks, each one with its very own futuristic GIF animation designed by Mr. Div (aka Boston-based motion graphic designer Matt DiVito). Kris' works have been signed to some of the most influential labels in the world and have in turn become treasures of the world's electronic dance community for both fans and pioneers alike. His prodigious influence on contemporary electronic music is well documented, with Kris becoming one of the most respected producers, known for a string of acclaimed releases including LPs, remix work for LCD Soundsystem, Depeche Mode, Metronomy, Röyksopp, Air, Underworld, Moby, and Lana Del Rey. Just to name a few of his side projects: Black Van (DFA), Menace & Lord, and Stars On 33 (Eskimo). In 2012 he unleashed the incredible Features album, collaborating with Julian Hamilton (The Presets), Miss Kittin, Robert Owens, the late and great Romanthony, Xavier Naidoo, Chelonis R. Jones, Dodgy, and MTV award-winner Simon Lord, among many others.

Electronic producer Kris Menace releases his third album. Titled Features, this ground-breaking record is his first with vocals. With guest appearances from some of the very best vocalists from the electronic scene, including Julian Hamilton from The Presets, the legendary Miss Kittin and Robert Owens, Daft Punk collaborator Romanthony, Chelonis R. Jones, plus Simon Lord (of Simian and Justice fame) and German superstar Xavier Naidoo. At times intense and complex, yet always magical and melodic, Features represents a conscious step away from the club context of his previous album releases and showcases Kris' desire to take a fresh approach to contemporary electronic music. Kris Menace, a pioneer of nu-disco, launched his career on the back of club track "Discopolis," which became one of the biggest dance tunes of 2005. Subsequently, Kris has released two instrumental albums, collaborated with Alan Braxe, Fred Falke, Aeroplane and Felix Da Housecat, to name a few, while working across numerous artist projects under various pseudonyms. His influence on dance and electronic music is well documented, and has resulted in Kris becoming one of the hottest producers and busiest remixers. Listen and feel the love in this timeless and outstanding album.
