Leeds-based DJ and producer Kepler launches his new imprint Contact with a two-track heater built for maximum impact. 'Hype It Up' opens with trademark Kepler energy - skipping drums, elastic basslines and crisp percussion driving a groove that's equal parts rolling and raw. On the flip, 'Sneaker' dives deeper into stripped-back territory, its swung rhythm and airy synths channelling the spirit of UK tech house at its most infectious. Both cuts have already done damage across the summer circuit, road-tested to full effect at festivals and after-hours alike. A sharp statement of intent from one of the UK's most consistent groove specialists.
