***NOW AVAILABLE ON VINYL!!! A long anticipated collection of long sold out 45s from Polytechnic Youth records—the tiny North London minimal synth imprint. Emotional Response is proud to offer up the CD version. The Polytechnic Youth label began in 2014 when an old friend went to Germany and bought a cutting lathe, enabling the release of hand cut 45s in micro editions of varying quantities. First fruits were an EP of DIY / experimental electronics from Volume Groop, dressed in a poster sleeve—from there, a dizzying array of collectors’ dream releases flowed: clear 5” singles, 8” singles, 45s that played from the inside label out and releases that came with personalized ‘glow in the dark’ center adapters, to name a few. All now highly sought after. The label has a deep love for both the look & sound of key period 1978-83 minimal synth, experimental and primitive, DIY electronic music. Reference points include Fad Gadget, early Cabaret Volataire, early Mute, John Bender, Neural Circus and Transparent Illusion.
