about

Sun's out, guns out, new Texture release on inHabit in the form of an EP from the alarmingly-googleproof 'A K A' is out, although you don't need to resort to search engines to know that the assistant label manager of London's EKOU Recording label is the guy holding the big bag of ammo these days, racking up plays from everyone from Noisia to Camo & Crooked and practically everyone in between (and also plenty of people who kind of fall outside any bi-directional axis drawn between either of those).

'On My Own' is a heads-down, tranced out tour de force built around a skittering steppy break, a pitched down male vocal and some trancey, euphoric pads and leads, one for the home stretch of your set, play this on any well-tuned rig and you will absolutely not be on your own for long. 'Numb' is a big forceful and melodic wall of bracing noise, tempered by distant vocal snatches and anchored by a stabby bassline that steps deftly between the melodic and the menacing. 'Waiver' gets a little wavier than the rest, even if the other cuts are ravier, it's still packed full of flavour and the soaring pads, optimistic wubs and the lowslung rumble of that gorgeous bassline should make even the most jaded raver waver. Truly one to savour. The EP gets wound up tightly, and wrapped in brown paper and string by a remix from Incident, whose take on 'Numb' turns it into spacious angular tech funk with a whole heap of textural and guttural flourishes and a solid step that cuts through any mix and carves out a vibe of its very own.

Once again these tunes have all been funnelled through our dear friend and constant collaborator Height – whatever the hell he's done to them (and they sounded pretty damn sick already when we sent them over!) has made these tunes sound absolutely immense, so go cop them, play them as loud as we have, to an audience of your friends and your favourite humans, and marvel at just how much good energy a sound wave can carry, because I promise you it's even more than you ever thought.
