[HVN012] Keepsakes - A Virtue In Vogue

A1. Peak Egotist
A2. Malignant Motion
B1. Mr. Shakedown
B2. No Acceptance Uptown
Out on 12” vinyl + digital April 29th 2022

For the twelfth release on the main catalogue and first record of 2022 Haven are proud to present the first full EP on the imprint from label boss Keepsakes for two years. Following on from releases in recent years on South London Analogue Material, Perc Trax, and more, Keepsakes brings the dancefloor heat in this 4-track
collection of 4-4 killers. The A1 kicks things off with ‘Peak Egotist’ - where rolling tribalistic drums, playful vocal samples and 80s industrial-inspired synth stabs interplay in a confronting track
of driving techno. This is followed by ‘Malignant Motion’ on the A2, with its swung rhythms and discordant rave synthesiser keeping the club energy high for concrete dancefloors.
‘Mr. Shakedown’ launches the flip on the B1 with its fast-house-gone-crunchy stylings, where a rolling 16th note synth pattern works with heavy drum patterns and ear-worm vocal shouts to set feet on fire. The B2 closes out the record with ‘No Acceptance Uptown’ - a tried-and-tested frisky club banger with mischievous ‘yo’
vocals and a lively acid-like sequence closing out the latest offering from Haven. All tracks produced and mixed by James Barrett
Mastered by Conor Dalton @ Glowcast Vinyl cut by Simon Davey at The Exchange Vinyl

Andy Kay was born in Eastern Germany and grew up surrounded by the influential sounds of Kraftwerk, Die Krupps, Front 242, and Nitzer Ebb. At the age of just twelve, he discovered his passion for electronic music. His first DJ experiences were humble – using a dual CD player and a basic mixer – but they quickly evolved into a serious artistic pursuit.

In 2007, he co-founded the oldschool EBM newcomer band A.D.A.C.8286. With their high-energy sound and authentic stage presence, the band soon gained recognition within the scene. Performances at renowned festivals like Familientreffen Sandersleben and the legendary Wave-Gotik-Treffen Leipzig cemented their place in the EBM community.

Alongside his band work, Andy increasingly delved into music production. Drawing from classic synthesizers, driving techno and tech house kicks, and bold basslines, his sound bridges the past and the future. In 2018, he released his first solo EP titled "Future EP" under Berlin-based label Der Weiße Hase Records – a release that vividly reflects his musical journey.

Andy Kay has performed in clubs such as Golden Gate Berlin, Der Weiße Hase Berlin, and Club Trafo Oelsnitz. He has also made his mark in the digital realm, with live streaming sets for DeeRedRadio (Berlin), WaveDots Studio (Berlin), and Electrovinyl (Plötzin/Potsdam).

His performances take the audience on a multilayered journey through electronic soundscapes – a fusion of EBM roots, techno drive, and atmospheric depth. Andy Kay’s sets invite listeners to let go and escape the everyday – diving deep into the pulse of the night.
