Red Rack’em – NIght Shift EP – Out Now On Undertones
After yet more delays to the Untracked EP (out at the end of the month now), I am pleased to say the Night Shift EP has actually been released ahead of schedule. That is pretty much unheard of in the record game! Anyway this is my first record on a non UK label as it’s been released on Undertones, which is an offshoot of the Detroit house label Kolour. It’s also my most housey release to date and contains 3 pretty different tracks which loosely fall into 3 different catagories.
The whole EP is based around working late, be it on music, in a factory or driving a bus. Title track ‘Night Shift’ is a spooky deep house track which was influenced by the first Batman movie believe it or not. I was trying to recreate the gothic feel of that movie with dissonant chords and dark atmospherics. The first track on the B side is called ‘Overtime’ and is of course an ode to putting in those extra hours. It’s fairly banging in a kind of big room-yet deep way and its my first ever techno track that’s been released too which is nice. The final track Late One is weird mutant funked up squelchy house with some seriously french hi hats in it.
