Introducing the inaugural release from the freshly launched SIDE B imprint, rkeat takes the reins with a striking four-track EP that sets the tone for what’s to come. Beginning as an event series, the Portuguese label makes way for no nonsense, driving club records and the first release is nothing if not that. Hybrid in spirit, rkeat delivers a refreshing take on techno that remains persistent in percussion but explorative for everything else. The seasoned producer pushes precisely designed texture to the forefront and lets the rest follow in suit, creating an intriguing and versatile track sequence. With each chapter, rkeat is able to blend razor-sharp textures with intricate sound design, letting every sonic detail shine through. 

The first side of ‘Indol’ sees spaced out elements creating a theme packed with elusive melodic work and enticing ambiances. Moving forward with impactful percussion, rkeat guides us through an ecosystem of sound with a twist at every turn. ‘End Of Tips’ on the second side of the record is a bit more extraverted, with rolling basslines and sixteenth hi hats. Opening up his record with groove while maintaining his sonic direction from the A Side, rkeat then closes the record in obscurity, offering the title track ‘Indol’. A cheeky hybrid of genres, this last chapter combines syncopated rhythms and breaks with early German techno experiments. Impressive in weight, ‘Indol’ ends the EP as a truly compelling debut that promises an exciting future for the label and its roster.
