As a label, Keysound Recordings occupy an interesting space. They exist at an intersection between rave and murkiness, cutting edge sounds of the underground and nostalgia.
Having cut his teeth in the 00's as the Xerox Soundsystem, Ireland's Desmond McGouran (who makes "music your mum and dad won't like") has been responsible for a strings of releases on Hervé's Cheap Thrills and Skint. Now being ushered into the Keysound fold, Detboi's latest four-tracker, 'Scatter EP', takes junglist breaks to new futuristic heights via vocal chops and lightning fast percussion.
We're premiering 'Give Love', a ruff cut that's already received spins from Zed Bias and Dusk & (naturally) Blackdown on Rinse.
Check it out here, now:
Keysound release 'Scatter' on the 8th August, on digital and 12" formats worldwide.
