intro
Immaculate-sounding techno designed to be played loud from Scottish group, Harvey McKay
Loud thumping 'basic channel' material on offer here, pounding relentlessly as if all life would depend on this release. 'Nightwalker' and its B side 'RAW' connect together old skool and new breed Scotland vibes very well. A digital release only for the time being, it will surely be made available on vinyl at a later stage. Deep housey beats on the title track swiftly change to joyous sidesteps, and then move into the unknown realms of technoland. Within a matter of seconds, the persistent groove of the 'Nightwalker' develops into a zombie dance show-off. The 'Nightwalker' trespasses across borders of dance music with no hesistation; the track digs deep, very deep. Hammering your eardrums, it soothes rhythms to immaculate proportions. Onto the flipside where 'RAW' will, even furthermore, test your stamina, and loudspeakers plus your neighbour's tolerance of volume. Harvey McKay draws back to big booty bumping basics and he has added spheric sound effects to lift spirits on the dance floor. 'RAW' doesn't knock at your door, the track bangs its way in.

Loud techno on new download single from young Glaswegian Harvey McKay, the unexceptional A-side of which is outclassed by its stamina-building B-side |
