My 2022 EP 'Kitchen Raver' is now available for pre-ordering from Beatport via Keep On Techno Records - It features 2 original tracks and a remix by the very talented Felix R. The EP itself is inspired by my Sunday livestreams, the 'Twitch'n Kitch'n Sunday Techno Disco' which has been streaming weekly over the past 2 years - it was born out of lockdown.
It is my only full length EP which will be appearing on Keep On Techno this year, after spending 2 years bolstering the label and getting it up to speed, its resident artists are only releasing a limited amount on the label in order for fresh talent to make their way onto the books.
Actions (2022) is a revamp of a track that I demoed early 2021 and after some editing, rearrangements and stripping of sounds, the 2022 is a leaner, more robust record. This highlights the importance of trying your track out on people and letting peer review hone your productions and talents. It also features a few cheeky samples, but then, that's me all over!
Rave Alarm is a track that was inspired by a recent visit to the London nightclub Printworks, which in my humble opinion, one of the greatest clubbing venues currently open. However, sadly, and inevitably, it is due to close down forever sometime next year due to some idiotic council plans to regenerate it into flats. It seems no venue is safe in London from money hungry developers, part of the reason why illegal parties still occur because people have fewer and fewer places to party. To those closing Printworks, you're parasites to social freedoms, musical appreciation and human expression, thank you for strangling our clubbing culture further. If you're into clubbing, predominantly Techno and live in London, you OWE it to yourself to visit the venue, it will change your mind in how you regard clubbing.
Sorry, rant over. Rave Alarm... big beats, sirens, samples and hoover synths! Absolutely HUGE and can't wait to play it on a big club soundsystem.
Felix R delivers a slamming Hard Techno rework of Rave Alarm that has already had big support from rising stars in the Techno world, and I thank him wholeheartedly for his hard work on the rework of this track.
The EP itself is out 6th May, pre-order now, and I truly THANKYOU for your support of my work, and the udnerground UK Techno scene, I am desperately trying to make a name for myself and climb the ladder a little bit.
KEEP ON TECHNO!
