Mike Shannon brings his debut RekidsSpecialProjects EP ‘Shadow Moves’ to Radio Slave‘s label, following the internationally acclaimed producer releasing three albums on respected imprints Plus8, ForceInc and ~Scape. Alongside releases on his storied CynosureRecordings, the forthcoming three-track ‘Shadow Moves’ EP restates why Shannon holds such a revered status in modern electronic music. The ‘Shadow Moves’ EP sees the Canadian artist deliver sublime techno with well-chiselled grooves.
After ‘Shadow Moves’, the next nod to its manga inspiration, ‘Shijima’, moves through tight percussive layering and jaunty, bass-led build-ups. Then comes ‘B4B’ featuring rhythmic, shaking subs as its clattering kick drums sit beneath. ‘The Way We Rise’ finalises the EP with shifting hi-hat patterns and growling bass levels as the cut weaves through its striding beats
Very excited to finally get these manga-inspired groove weapons out into the wild. Been test driving these in my dj sets and can’t wait to share these with you.’ – Mike Shannon.
The ‘Shadow Moves’ EP from Mike Shannon arrives via Rekids Special Projects on 15th September 2023.
