Four years deep into his residency at Chicago's SubT club, KEEFE has been perfecting his approach to club music from the ground up. On The Joint EP, KEEFE’s Fortune Signal debut, the aim is simple and honest: fast, high-impact house tracks that earn their space on USBs and move rooms without fuss. It’s a perfect match for where the label’s compass is pointing us these days: music that prioritizes function over flash, made by producers who understand that the best club music serves the floor first, everything else second.

The title track sets the standard with an unrelenting 4×4 kick and cheeky donk-ish bassline, anchored to percussive foundations and augmented by ripping synth squelches. The EP’s engine is percussion and pumping low end, and he folds in robotic chirps, chord stabs, and wide, soaring pads to dial up tension. The result is stripped-down, efficient club tools sharpened for maximum impact in the club. Having cut his teeth with releases on such labels as UTTU, Hot Haus Recordings, and Chapeau Music, KEEFE channels and focuses his bouncy, raw energy into The Joint EP's four no-nonsense bangers.

KEEFE's approach reflects the best of club culture. It’s music made by someone who understands dance floors because he's spent years moving them. The Joint EP distills that experience into four pieces that do real work and still manage to grin.
