The Boysnoize Records catalogue contains more than a decade of milestones in the life of Angeleno DJ and producer Pilo. His signatures -- a focus on sound design, and a digital crunch evocative of hardware rather than software -- are present from the very beginning, but the evolution of Pilo's skill and sophistication is clear as he stretches from electro to experimental to techno and back again in a slowly oscillating gradient.
Yet despite his dozen or so releases in just as many years, G.L.A.M. is Pilo's first proper album. That the record embraces the cyclical nature of time is apropos; the artist's journey towards self-actualized mastery always ends with a new beginning. Over the eight tracks of G.L.A.M., Pilo reaches deep into the dream that first ignited the passion that has driven him since.
For a chosen few internet-connected American teens in the aughts, the sounds of European electro (and electroclash) trickled down their ethernet cables and instilled a fantasy of exotic, sartorial, sexually-fluid hedonism that felt a world away from the hard-edged masculinity of the hip-hop and skate cultures dominant at home. In G.L.A.M., as in Pilo's career, as in life, every ending can only be a new beginning. A1. Superstar DJ
