Damu will return to Keysound for the first time in four years with the Holed up in the Hovel EP. Stylistically aligned with “something like grime,” the forthcoming effort was reportedly inspired by the UK producer’s move to Croydon and its local club scene, and spans four new “sour sound” constructions. “This EP started as war dubs for Keysound nights,” explains Damu. “I really like the competitive vibe of the scene in London and I worked on the EP across Manchester, Sheffield, and Croydon from 2013 to 2014.”

“Since my debut album my wiring has changed completely,” he continues. “It’s the sonics of individual sounds that gets me hyped now, and I think this EP reflects a bit more of a mathematical approach to music-making.”

Holed up in the Hovel follows from two previous outings for Keysound (2011’s Unity LP and the Ridin’ 12″) and is officially due out on February 23. No previews have been shared as of yet, but the EP’s artwork has been included above and its complete tracklist can be found below.
