Review: 2018 marks the arrival of a new player in the current synth game, the already excellent Dogs & Vultures imprint, out of Madrid! If that wasn't enough, the imprint has brought along a new artist to the framework, the enigmatic Kike Am Radar. The producer's debut release, Testament EP, floats majestically between proto-house and post-music, which is a tough nut to crack these days. The opening "Testament" sets the scene for what develops into a deep and overwhelming amalgamation of nu-school psychedelia, emanating consistently high levels of polyphonies and pad-work, all shaped and moulded to immerse us in a world of pure abstraction. Nonetheless, Kike manages to create movement, mystery and wonder, building a collection of tracks suitable to both the dancefloors and the bedrooms, which is the sort of electronic music we can't get enough of. Bring on more oddities, please.
