Gary Beck - Enough Talk EP



Gary Beck Soma Techno Enough Talk
1. Gary Beck - Enough Talk
2. Gary Beck - Fereneze

After last year’s beautifully crafted Tijuana EP, Gary Beck returns to Soma Records to release the eagerly anticipated Enough Talk//Fereneze EP.

Kicking off the release is Enough Talk, a gradual and building track, simplistic in nature but effective in practice. Hovering synths keep a continuous feel while Gary’s trusty knowledge of his chosen fx add a little bit of excitement in the form of springing delays and bouncing echoes. A subtle and mesmerising number from the on-form Gary Beck.



Fereneze brings us to the darker side of Gary Beck providing the spine-tingling beats and shuffling percussion for which he is known best. Tough and aggressive Fereneze packs both bark and bite!



These tracks guarantee to damage all involved on the floor.

Harvey McKay - SHIFT ep, out now on Soma



1. Harvey McKay - Shift
2. Harvey McKay - Shift (Rich Jones Remix)
3. Harvey McKay - After Hours

After the massive success of the Nightwalker EP, Harvey McKay returns to Soma with his latest release, Shift.

Harvey firmly cements his trademark sound in this release with two original tracks and a crafty remix of the title track by Rich Jones.

The back bone of Shift is made up of a driving kick and sub-bass combo. This is present throughout the track as the subtle samples and minimalistic and old-skool sounding synths build around it. The bassline grows deeper as the track progresses through the gears, with enough growl to rumble the guts of any seasoned clubber.



The Rich Jones remix works on a thoroughly grooving beat, with hefty bass and shuffling percussive rhythms working in tandem. There is a slightly acidic squelch in Rich’s remix – filtering up slowly and encouraging tension. This remix covers both the menacing and the playful in equal measures.



After Hours adopts a more melodic approach. Some quality chords played on the synths gives this track its soul while the beats and percussion allow it to hold its own on the dance-floor.



Shift builds on the precedent set by Nightwalker and is a true reflection of Harvey’s style. ENJOY, you can get it on beatport:
