The techno heavyweights UMEK is back with his third EP titled “Ravaged” of 2019, on his own 1605 label. The title track Ravaged is evidence of a rave veteran who knows exactly the right formula for tearing up a dance floor. 

Opening proceedings, the acid-soaked title track sets the tone with its domineering kick drum and squelching 303s. An even heavier affair, ‘Cacophonous’ delivers a pummelling, full-frontal assault on the senses, before the EP is closed out by more acid – this time interspersed with melodic elements – on ‘Anomalies In Heart Rate’. It follows on from May’s Vibrancy, a three-track EP that combined a tougher techno sound with more emotive, melodic elements, and the dancefloor-focused 19119, released in April.
