We finished 2015 with a six-track jumbo EP from Borrowed Identity and thought we d repeat the same trick for 2016, though this time with originals from Okayama-based producer Keita Sano. EYE begins with Keep an Eye Out, Pt.2, a propulsive song that sounds like a lost contender for the Knight Rider theme. Own Signal keeps things dark, but with a spartan bleakness. The side finishes with Smoker, another manic cut that ll give you chills. The flip finds Keita exploring brighter sounds without losing that industrial, jagged edge. TRMK is essentially a beat track that ll ignite any dance floor and Fix is a herky-jerky ditty that ll get you stomping around the club like a possessed reveler. The 12inches cherry on top is Think Twice, a funky ass-shaker that centers around a crackly sample of crowd noise, a chopped-up disco vocal, and bouncy bass. A fiery finale for this hedonistic party.
