KEEFE - Amen Rework by No More Mailouts

Chicago - land of contrasts. The birthplace of Drill and the home of famed heterochromatic IG baddie ‘Ash Kaash’, the city of inedible Deep Pan Pizza and delicious Malort; Chicago has until now had little to no impact on dance music beyond some fringe developments in the late 80s, of little consequence to anyone outside the greater Kankakee area. This is all set to change, with the arrival of KEEFE's ‘Gunman Groove’ EP on No More Mailouts, four tracks of Italian Beef bangers, ‘CHIEFLY’ inspired by - and you knew this joke was coming - Lil Durk. ‘Amen Rework’ combines Gabba-esque kicks with rinsing Amen breaks and hardcore stabs, but is way better than that sounds - Franklie, it’s as tuff as Knuckles. Title track ‘Gunman Groove’ again takes classic Rave stabs, this time layering them over a pounding 4/4 kick pattern. If only there was a name for this kind of rhythmic pattern - but whatever that may be, it would sound great in a Warehouse. Looping hypnotic synth-lines define ‘Let A Clip Ride’, a hypnotic roller that is well worth a Spinn… And closing things out, ‘Let There Be House' bemoans the lack of affordable accommodation options in late-stage capitalism. Here at No More Mailouts, we Stan any producer who can Sneak a political message into the dance. So here we have it Chicago - your time to finally become known for EDM! Let there be rejoicing from Waukegan to Rockford!!! And let there be dwelling place music!!!!!
