matador: spooks

Matador's Spooks EP sees him step-up for a five-track outing which balances his usual melody with a real techno drive. The title track opens proceedings with predatory, roughshod bass tone running underneath blippy melodies, snappy house influenced percussion and a dark male vocal where "Kenekt" is all out sci-fi weirdness. "BamBam" is the most heads-down and streamlined techno offering of them all before "Klay" drips little melodic droplets down the face of slinky hi-hats and deep, rolling basslines.
