Slip Away

An unusual techno palette from Jack Keo, who since 2017 has been a favourite across many UK labels, from Sodium to Art Of Dark. The EP 'Goonhilly Rattle' might imagine a space-age battle taking place on the grounds of the famous Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station in Cornwall, with its four tracks we hear left behind as its sonic aftermath. First, we venture on down into 'Bunker84', narrowly dodging the alien laser-zappers by way of a high-tech-house underground tunnel system. As soon as the coast clears, we venture above ground again, at which point we hear the twin grenades of bassy and acid techno respectively explode on 'Goonhilly Battle' and 'Tend To Run', before a closing, corrosively radioactive heater in the form of 'Soviet Sonar'.
