For the second release on his new Bad Animal imprint, Berlin-based DJ/producer Alland Byallo has tapped San Francisco deep-house duo Safeword (pictured above) for a four-song 12″. “Smoke,” a slow-burning house groover, sits on the the b-side of the vinyl, along with an acidy remix of the tune by Smash TV. The a-side contains the record’s eponymous “West Portal,” and another original, “Let Go.” West Portal will be available on vinyl in early March, with a digital release to follow soon thereafter.
