Review: Activated is Jensen Interceptor aka Mikey Melas' fifth EP of 2019 and sees the fast-rising producer drop more electro heat. Focusing on 4/4s, the title track and "Contact" resound to menacing bass-lines and spooky synth stabs, which unfold over steely drums. On "Dirrekt Lift", a collaboration with German producer Das Muster, the balance shifts back towards a more typical electro shuffle, albeit with the same dark tones as the first two tracks. "Inverse Light" sees Melas move towards the kind of layered, abstract territories that Drexciya used to inhabit, while closing track "Last Night" is a high-paced electro funk workout, shrouded in an air of mystery.
