Belgium has a long history of producing groundbreaking electronic talent, from R&S Records to Soulwax and beyond.
Smile Recordings has built up a stable of eccentric Belgian types, each steering electronic music in fresh, idiosyncratic directions.
New signing Jimi After, though, is a little special. Upcoming EP 'Acid Walk' references everything from classic house to Bladerunner, brittle techno to Oriental tones.
Clash is able to premiere new cut 'Abrupte Fable', and it seems to sluice all of these influences and more into one infectious package.
The grinding, percussive rhythm really gets under your skin, set against those spiralling synths and absorbing sino melodies.
Strangely infectious, you can check it out below.
'Acid Walk' will be released on June 24th.
