Voice Stealer is one of many bylines used by eclectic dance music producer <a href="spotify:artist:6g7KhV5p6W6oK0gZJkZXZW">Carl A. Finlow</a>, whose slick, sophisticated fusions of a range of dance music styles have appeared variously on the Soma, 20:20 Vision, Subvert, Klang, Phono, and SSR labels. Following on the heals of bold, bouncy hybrids of electro and new wave such as Le Car's "Automatic" and <a href="spotify:artist:4JEj4gtpwF2dnnBZuNwpwT">I-F's</a> "Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass," <a href="spotify:artist:6g7KhV5p6W6oK0gZJkZXZW">Finlow's</a> 1998 debut as Voice Stealer, The All-Electric House, was one of the more interesting, well-crafted album-length amalgams of those styles to appear. Fusing new wave's and electro's two strongest attributes -- cool, detached melodic and vocal accompaniment and thin, rubbery drumbox funk -- The All-Electric House escaped cliche partially by the novelty of its combination, and partially because <a href="spotify:artist:6g7KhV5p6W6oK0gZJkZXZW">Finlow</a> was the one doing the combining. Although much of his work to date has clustered around standard, breakbeat, and progressive house -- he helped form the popular underground label 20:20 Vision, has released records through 20:20 as <a href="spotify:artist:52YND4RXvWLXNyYgK7Kodx">Random Factor</a> and Urban Farmers, and is the imprint's in-house producer -- the fastest growing segment of <a href="spotify:artist:6g7KhV5p6W6oK0gZJkZXZW">Finlow's</a> solo discography is in the vein of his Voice Stealer material, and includes collaborative releases with <a href="spotify:artist:3GfY5Rtioe0sfZrwpyFdFA">Ralph Lawson</a> (the "Droid Funk" EP) and Daz Quayle (under the name Scarletron, primarily for Electron Industries), as well as the four-track Il.ek.tro EP, released under his own name by Klang Elektronik in mid-1998.
