Bleep

Brooklynite Alex Burkat lands on Third Ear Recordings with his latest EP, a homage to his favourite New York venues and the city’s nightlife in general. The bouncy, off-kilter ‘285 Kent’ capitalizes on a humongous, subbed-out kick, adding eerie pads and acidized FX for colour. The expansive, uneasy tech-house cut ‘Sullivan Room’ flows perfectly into ‘The BQE’, an even antsier track that somehow balances sci-fi synths with majorly funky congas. Burkat slows it down a bit on closer ‘House of Yes’, a slow-burner driven by droning synthesizers, punchy percussion and an infectiously repetitive bass line.
