Dark Machine Funk welcomes the first guest producer into the fold, Head Front Panel. A huge source of inspiration to DMF
since those highly sought after HFP 12”s hit the record store racks in 2014, Head Front Panel delivers a superb well rounded
4 track EP titled ‘Tactile’ for DMF’s 5th release.

The opening track 'Panama' opens with some otherworldly pads, sweeping resonances tickle the ear before signature HFPdrums hit you with pure engaging energy. Broken kick drums and rattling percussion perfectly sit on this hypnotictribal-esque sonic dream, a depth and area that we've not heard from HFP before. 'Tactile' brings the perfect tool, loopyrhythms that stretch the perception of time whilst getting lost in subtle rides and eerie door creaking atmospheres, deeplistening will provide a new journey on every repeat. 'Surdo' open's side B, and we're catapulted into the fire with shaker/hihat percussion that grab your attention immediately and vocal samples scatter across the stereo field. Shimmering pads takethe track into deeper territory but all while keeping in a constant state of forward motion accented by the occasional doublekick drum. A huge baseline swings the track to give it its funk. 'Them' probably the most recognisable HFP track hammerswith a thunderous kick drum and a subtle repetitive synth line, groove is king here where percussion elements are pushedand modulated to create enough interest to carry the track through till close.

DMF is honoured to present ‘Head Front Panel - Tactile’ on DMF!
