Keinemusik 'You Are Safe' (Keinemusik)
Keinemusik, the powerhouse formation of Rampa, Adam Port and &ME, present their full-length array of scorching house and progressive for clubbers from all walks. Pinging synths on the title track? Check. Pulsating techno with stand-out drums on ‘Civilised’? You got it. London vocalist Chiara Noriko’s tones sensually curl around a modern r’n’b take on ‘Up And Down’, while ‘Muyé’ is reminiscent of Rampa’s previous banger, ‘Bimma’. ‘MBH’ has snarling guitar lines that merge with percussion and hypnotic chants, and ‘You Are Safe’ finds the trio painting with a palette of their collective tastes and individual ventures. Throughout ‘You Are Safe’, they straddle a diverse electronic spectrum with ease. Leah Connolly
