It was only natural that with over 20 years of top notch clubbing under its belt, Glasgow’s next generation of electronic music revellers would start coming out with their own realisations of all those great nights and resultant immersion in the music which inspired them. Harvey McKay has been DJing since the age of ten [it says here], started producing a few years ago and has already appeared on labels like Artificial Silence, Perc Trax, Cubism and now Soma, for whom this two-track EP marks his debut. ’69’ is a tribute to Paisley’s famous long-running Club 69: with that inspiration its blood the track can only be a stormer of the highest degree, a clanging, woodblock-clobbering minimal monster with a wildebeest’s swinging scrotum put through a blender of a bassline. Throughout the tension mounts and ultimate destruction assured. ‘Torque’ sports growling bassotronic jockey shorts, disjointed voices and disgruntled riffs, again with frequencies set to stun. Top debut and it really is about time Weatherall’s favourite venue was homaged in audio form.
