After launching the 17 Steps imprint with an EP of its own last July, enterprising UK pair—and former Artist Tips contributors—Dusky have announced plans to release the label’s first record from an outside artist in the form of Christian Piers‘ Beat Wiser EP. The UK producer (who serves as half of the Laszlo Dancehall project alongside Leon Vynehall and has also operated under the name A1 Bassline) will deliver three new productions on the upcoming effort, all off which are said to have served “regular fixtures” in Dusky’s recent DJ sets. Furthermore, the pair describes the EP’s title track and “Onn” productions as “club tools in the best sense; precision engineered, weighty grooves with plenty of unique touches to hold the interest,” while the record’s lead track is said to “harken back to classic techno drum tracks, but with a sharp UK angle.”

Piers’ Beat Wiser EP is slated to land via 17 steps on March 16; in the meantime, the record’s artwork is included above and its tracklist can be found below.
