ManMakeMusics fifth release, a 10 inch vinyl-only EP, comes from U, the newest addition to the imprints expanding roster. Unlike the labels first four outings that were aimed squarely at the dance floor, this record is a stranger and more pensive affair featuring 4 raw cuts of genre defiant electronica. Opener >Eah< borrows from 80s Chicago house but strips out some of the more familiar tropes leaving just a guttural and infectious rhythm. >Evil Spirits< is a stuttering mournful piece while >Haunted< flips a faintly recognisable sample over a shuffling 4x4 beat. The EP is rounded off with >Heaven<, the most optimistic of the 4 tracks, and described by the artist as a warped homage to an idealised golden era of British dance music.
