On this latest two-track assault, Munich-based Portuguese producer Alkalino is back in re-edit mode. This time round, he’s sidestepped the usual disco, Balearic, soul and funk influences in favour of two tracks that mine the dark, dub-informed worlds of post-punk and punk-funk. He begins with “Next Phase”, a deliciously heavy blend of dub-punk bass, punk-funk attitude, trippy deep house touches and an annoyingly familiar, cowbell-laden sample. “Morph” begins with dense, African-influenced tribal drums, before building into a Liquid Liquid-style percussive banger with extra voodoo. Like the A-side, it’s the kind of rolling, bass-heavy builder – with additional flashes of deep house wonkiness – that should keep dancefloors going in the wee small hours.
