about

Harvey McKay readies his second studio long player, ‘Anatomy Of A Drum Machine’, released on Dense & Pika’s Kneaded Pains label.

The seasoned producer/DJ from Glasgow has notched up an impressive catalogue of releases for labels such as UNCAGE, Perc Trax, Cocoon, Filth On Acid and many more, always delivering well-polished and effective techno cuts. ‘Anatomy..’ follows 2009’s ‘Machine Make Noise’ album, released on the Soma Quality Recordings label, and marks a distinct progression in the stalwart producer’s sound.

From the opening strains of ‘Sequence Four (For Riley Instrumental)’, the assured maturity of McKay’s productions shine through, as the album touches on the many tones and tempos within the modern techno and electronic genre. Whilst taking inspiration from the Detroit and Berlin school, it’s his own decidedly deep and funky aesthetic that binds the album together, as the ebb and flow of the thirteen tracks work magnificently, coming into land with the double delights of ‘Horizon’ and ‘Alive’.

Harvey McKay is a producer who has very much ‘stuck to his guns’ over the years, and remained aligned to the true techno sound, which is a real blessing when the music is this strong and rewarding.

The album is dedicated to my dear friend David Balmer and his fight against motor neurone disease. All profits from this album go to help Davey.
