UK turned Aotearoa/New Zealand-based DJ and producer @keepsakes is a voice increasingly worth tuning ears to. 

Fresh off the back of a major remix of Tiga & Hudson Mohawke's 'BUYBUYSELL' just last year, the artist makes his debut on Canadian-based @turborecordings with 'Impossible (Eating The Sun)'.

'Nimby Orgy' is the EP's closer, though not with the closure one might expect from that kind of name. 

Typical of Keepsakes' style, 'Nimby Orgy' is driving, controlled chaos brought together. Crashing, banging percussive samples bounce off squelchy pads and synth-lines, with crushed vocals adding to a growing feeling of disorientation, potentially also typical of such an orgy.

The release sees not only a digital release but vinyl too, as Keepsakes is a strict vinyl-only DJ. Of that fact, Turbo shared: "Given that Keepsakes is a vinyl-only DJ, we’ve done him the courtesy of making this release available both on vinyl and digitally. While this would have been an incredible opportunity to completely shut him out of playing his own tracks, we decided that this would be unfair to the music itself. Because at the end of the day, Turbo takes its marching orders from Harmony, Melody, Rhythm, and Timbre."

'Impossible (Eating The Sun)' 
releases Friday, May 2nd.
