Hot Since 82 has done right by his new label Knee Deep in Sound. “Don’t Touch the Alarmâ€, the label’s first release, hits the mark. Don’t let the gentle pitched drums at the beginning full you. It’s a deception. Thirty seconds in, 82 turns up to scorch the earth this summer. A bass swell on the upbeat of four pulls you hard into the down of one in the next passage. Arpeggios entertain a baroque mischief and D-Shake style 16th note snare runs throw back to early nineties underground techno. Frantic and splintered vocal samples and mid-range bomb shelter sirens stack the explosive tension.
