Quickly back to throw you right off balance after the release of his ‘Slope / Maximum Busy Muscle‘ 12″ in October, the ever enigmatic Joe returns to Untold‘s Hemlock with two highly spirited but deceptively strong sonic cocktails. The leftfield legend of the Hessle and Hemlock labels ramps up his oddball experimental credentials again with his latest release – perhaps even his most eyebrow-raising yet. On ‘Punters Step Out’ he muddles one part dub-techno with two parts drunken hammond and then shakes hard with some driving dancehall – the drop will have you questioning your sanity. The flipside, ‘Club Scared’, is a mad post-modern minimal house number that makes you wonder whether the track itself is talking to you (it is).

Weird. Awesome.
