VA006.1: Alex Smoke – Shwingnut EP

va006_1

  1. Serious Like Plague
  2. What Can I Say
  3. Wingnut

The unstoppable Glaswegian Alex Smoke returns to Vakant with a double blow of mutant weird-groove minimalism. Alex has been wowing the clubs and festivals of europe this summer with his mindblowing live set and here showcases some of the prime cuts over two separate twelves.

First up is the ‘Shwingnut EP’, here Alex opts for advanced tricky rhythms to deliver three superior slices of reduced funk. ‘Serious Like Plague’ comes on like a schizoid Sleep Archive release, dense, moody and guaranteed to infect the dancefloor. Following on the flip is the sub-aquatic ‘What Can I Say’. This erratic mind-melt bubbles with a tripped out groove. Concluding the EP is the raw and discordant ‘Wingnut’ – a spangled classic from his live set.
