Audiojack & Kevin Knapp 'Implications' (Crosstown Rebels)
This is the first release from Gruuv founders Audiojack and Kevin Knapp on Damian Lazarus’ label Crosstown Rebels. Complete with vinyl crackles, spooky voices, modulating synths, dark pads and more, it’s a classy cut that’s then given a remix by Martin Buttrich, who adds sprightly percussion, a grooving bassline and a playful take on the original vocal. ‘6EQUJ5’, meanwhile, is inspired by the radio signal that astronomers picked up in 1977 that was thought to be from aliens, setting the scene for a tech-house track for the space age.
