Having released music on a handful of various labels such as Urban Torque, M>O>S Recordings, and Bokhari Records, the Scottish producer Stephen Lopkin has recently released his fifth EP titled The Strategic Steam Reserve on Belfast-based imprint Titanic City. The fledgling imprint pledges to release music with the purpose of putting “its hometown of Belfast on the electronic music map” and has thus far done a fine job of doing so, bringing in true up-and-comers such as Perseus Traxx, Martin De Brig, and Hermez.

Having just dropped his The Strategic Steam Reserve EP, which pays homage to the classic sounds of Chicago and Detroit, Stephen Lopkin has offered up the track “The Permanent Way” as today’s XLR8R download. Complete with an unyielding drum patterns and woebegone synth arrangements, the track’s intergalactic and deep space feel stretches on with purpose and perpetuity.
