Fear-E returns to Super Rhythm Trax and pulls out 4 dance floor pummelling heavy hitters.

Berlin techno regular Fear E drops the ‘Globus Dreams’ EP on Super Rhythm Trax, where recollections of dark rooms and late hours cause a true globus sensation. Known for his raw acid workouts on labels like Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and Soma, here Fear E enters a deeper NREM phase, with ‘How Would You Know’ sampling Soft House Company for a metal-acid torrent, ‘Supa Rhythm’ unleashing rotary cannon snares, ‘Blood Sport’ slamming with band-clipped dry kicks, and ‘Terror Corps’ rounding out with tense stab licks worthy of any good supervillain flick.

Fear-E makes his Dark Entries debut with ‘Grey Skies In A Dear Green Place’. Fear-E is the moniker of Scott McKay a Glasgow based DJ and producer. ‘Grey Skies In A Dear Green Place’ contains six club-ready tracks to “smash sound systems and illuminate sweaty warehouses.” The title is a reference to a nickname that Glasgow has, coming from Cumbric, means ‘green hollow’ or (dear) ‘green place’. Layering cut-up vocals with warm thumping beats, Scott creates a stripped-back yet deeply jackin’ vibe.
