Keysound Recordings have released huge numbers this year from the likes of E.m.m.a, Visionist, Walton, Etch and of course their ‘Keysound Allstars’ compilation, and they’re set to continue their reign with the ‘Genesis’ EP from Mumdance & Logos.

Going both forwards and backwards comes naturally to the production duo, as demonstrated by the EP’s lead cut ‘In Reverse PIV’. Nominally ‘just’ a VIP of their contribution to Keysound Recordings’ 2013 mission statement compilation ‘This is how we roll’, the PIV dares to go in two directions at once: synths and bass heading forwards, vocals and drums in, well, reverse. The result is shocking: with its glowing lava-like synths, cavernous Reese bass, caustic second drop and rhythmic vortices, it’s genuinely unclear what exactly the tune is. Better still, it doesn’t just baffle dance floors but also destroys them; simultaneously demanding rhythmic participation and jaw-dropping bewilderment of its audiences. You’ve probably heard other people say that about big club tracks before: you can bet they didn’t have drums running backwards.

You’ll have to wait ’til November 4 to hear the rest of the tunes, but check out a vocal sample from the end track:

“Instruments were designed for people to use… for people to use. It’s just a tool, another tool, the way an axe is a tool that can be used to cut wood and build a house… or to slaughter your neighbour. The same thing a synthesizer can be a tool to really hurt people’s ears or interfere with their lives, or it can make a really nice sounding instrument that can affect people in a positive way.”

With Mumdance boasting releases on Diplo’s Mad Decent and also grime establishment No Hats No Hoods, his ‘Different Circles’ mixtape saw work with grime MCs Jammer, Trim, Boy Betta Know and garage legends Sparks & Kie, while Logos‘ worked with the likes of Kowton, LV and is a huge part of the emerging instrumental grime collective. To make things bigger for the duo, they’ve got an upcoming release on Pinch‘s Tectonic too.

You won’t want to wait on this one, November 4, vinyl and digital. Woi!
